Why is understanding energy density of food important in obesity prevention?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Because foods giving high energy in small amounts can increase weight
Option A is correct because energy density means the amount of energy provided per unit weight of food. Energy-dense foods, such as many fried or highly processed foods, can supply many calories in a small volume and may be easy to overconsume before fullness develops. Lower-energy-density foods, especially vegetables, fruit, and suitable high-fibre foods, can support fullness with fewer calories.
