Fat, protein and sugar
- Fat. A gram of fat provides nine calories. Foods high in fat can increase caloric intake and help you feel full and satiated. Eating a small amount of fatty food may make you feel satisfied sooner and help you eat less overall.
- Protein. One gram of protein provides four calories. Proteins include animal proteins, plant-based proteins and legumes. Protein powers your muscles and contributes to healthy organs, hair and blood.
- Sugar is a type of carbohydrate. Foods such as fruits and dairy products contain natural sugars that provide energy. Excess sugar consumption is linked to health issues.
