flag Whole foods led people to eat 330 fewer calories daily than ultra-processed foods, despite eating more by weight.

flag A new analysis of a U.S. clinical trial involving 20 people finds that those eating only whole, unprocessed foods consumed 330 fewer calories per day on average, despite eating 57% more by weight. flag Participants naturally chose more fruits and vegetables, leading to better nutrition and lower calorie intake. flag In contrast, ultra-processed foods, though often fortified with vitamins, deliver high calories with less nutritional balance, potentially disrupting appetite regulation and contributing to overeating. flag The study, published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, suggests that food processing affects eating behavior more than willpower, with whole foods supporting healthier choices and lower energy intake.
