Weird questions?! :)

So, here's the deal: I need more low-fat, high calorie, and healthy foods! Do you know of any? Because...

I really want to stop eating so much processed junk, but for me it's about the calories I get from the processed food. I'm on a 1500 calorie regime and I'm never hungry. However, if I were to eat a 200 calorie processed snack versus a pile of veggies, I've got even more calories I've got to eat since veggies are so low-cal. I understand others who are on like 1200 calories a day who are still hungry eating such low calorie foods. Yet, I need higher calorie foods to even get over 1200 calories. When I go shopping, I actually look for the higher calories (but still low fat) items. For example, I pick the 100 calorie yogurt instead of the 70 calorie one. (Is that weird? Haha)

Low-fat diets can be an effective way to lose weight by decreasing total calorie intake. Although there is an ongoing debate about whether low carbohydrate diets are more affective than low-fat diets, a study in the February 2009 edition of the "New England Journal of Medicine" found that reduced calorie diets are affective regardless of macronutrient ratio. The National Institute of Health (NIH) recommends decreasing calorie intake by 500 to 1000 calories a day when trying to lose weight. If on a low-fat diet, include higher calorie carbohydrate and protein sources that will help you meet your daily calorie and nutrient requirements.

Rice

A naturally low-fat food, rice is high in carbohydrates and low in protein. Instead of white rice, eat brown rice because it is higher in fiber and nutrients. One cup of long-grain brown rice contains 216 calories, 45 g of carbohydrates and only 2 g of fat.

Beans

Naturally low in fat, beans are a higher calorie food that contains large amounts of carbohydrates and protein. One cup of cooked black beans contains 227 calories, 41 g of carbohydrates, 15 g of protein and only 1 g of fat.

Potatoes

Extremely high in carbohydrates, potatoes are low in fat and protein. One large baked potato contains 278 calories, 63 g of carbohydrates and less than 1 g of fat. Avoid added calories from sour cream, bacon bits or oil used in the cooking process.

Pasta

Four oz. of cooked pasta (without sauce) contains 150 calories, 28 g of carbohydrates and only 1 g of fat. Don't use cream and marinara sauces containing unhealthy oils; these sauces will add additional calories from fat to your diet.

Whole Grain Bread

A good source of fiber and adequate source of protein, whole grain bread can be a healthy and filling way to add low-fat calories to your diet. One large slice of multi-grain bread contains 109 calories, about 18 g of carbohydrates and less than 2 g of fat.

Fruit Juice

Naturally fat free, fruit juice is generally high in sugar, so even on a low-fat diet enjoy in moderation. One cup of orange juice contains 112 calories and 26 g of sugar.
