When you're cutting back on calories in order to lose weight, you may struggle with feeling hungry. Your best defense is to choose foods that have a high Fullness Factor(TM). These are foods that fill you up with fewer calories.
The Fullness Factor rates foods on a scale from 0 to 5, with 5 being the most filling per calorie and 1 being the least. For example, potato chips have a fullness factor of 1.2. A baked potato on the other hand has a fullness factor of 2.5. That means that you're probably going to feel a lot more full if you eat 200 calories worth of baked potato than you will if you eat 200 calories worth of potato chips!
The Fullness Factor is a tool you'll only find on NutritionData.com. You'll see it listed on the Nutrition Facts page for every food. Nutrition Data even calculates the fullness factor of your recipes and meal plans!
