calories.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">That means focusing on foods like vegetables, fruits, lean proteins, legumes, and whole grains, while limiting heavily processed, high-calorie items that add little to no nutritional value.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">By making simple swaps, you can eat larger portions, keep hunger at bay, and still meet
