What does 2000 calories look like?

I've always been fascinated calorie density (CD), or the amount of calories per pound of food. As this video clearly shows, CD is lowest in unprocessed plant foods.

For example:

Food                          CD
Cucumber                  70
Apple                        270
Cheddar Cheese      1,820

So, in short, you can have a pound of cucumbers in your belly for just 70 calories, or a pound of cheddar cheese for 1,820--almost a whole days worth of calories!

The best way to "crowd out" unhealthy processed food is by concentrating on adding low CD plant foods. This will naturally help regulate your blood sugar and cause you less hunger pangs! Now that's good new.
