Consumption of
dietary energy density (DED) has been associated with weight gain in adults.
Not exact matches
On the other hand, because
dietary fat provides the greatest amount of calories per unit weight, foods high in fat are generally high in
energy density.
Using a bomb calorimeter to measure the heat of combustion of various proteins, carbs, and fats, they determined the
energy density of
dietary protein = 4.1 calories / gram, carbs = 4.1 calories / gram, and fat = 9.3 calories.
It was lower in total
energy,
energy density, carbs, and higher in unsaturated fatty acids,
dietary cholesterol, and several vitamins.
Do
energy density and
dietary fiber influence subsequent 5 - year weight changes in adult men and women?
Dietary variables were
energy adjusted using the nutrient
density method, and meat variables in each model added up to total meat (addition model).
Clear patterns were also not seen in the relationship between weight change and the
energy density of
dietary components (e.g., beverages of low
energy density were strongly associated with weight gain).
First, while
dietary patterns are important, the quality of food choices within each food group should also be emphasized and attention should be given to the concept of
energy density.
Nevertheless, the associations of the intake of plain water with
dietary fiber intake (positive),
energy density of foods, and total and added sugars (inverse) do suggest different
dietary selections in relation to plain water intake.
A balanced amount of the necessary
dietary minerals in relation to the
energy density of the diet is important.
Models used to investigate associations between parental status and
dietary intake outcomes were examined with and without adjustment for total
energy intake using the nutrient -
density method.25 When the outcome variable of interest exhibited positive skewness, testing was conducted using the square root transformation.
