Oh dear...........what do I choose?? A nice muffin or a muesli bar, both with the same calories on the label.
The truth might be they are not the same.
Food harder to digest, nominally with the same calories as softer food that is easier to digest, might actually have lower available calories to you, the eater of the food.
Sounds sensible......sometimes.
And it might also explain why you are actually consuming more calories than you think.
The link to a recent article in New Scientist magazine puts it all in perspective

As the pundits are already saying, eat less processed food for better health - but it might also be better for the waistline.
