Today’s SCIENCE SAYS: Ultra-processed foods (UPFs) are sneaky. Ever finish eating and still feel weirdly … unsatisfied? 👀 It might not be you — it might be what’s in your food.
UPFs can lead to eating ~500 extra calories a day — without you even realizing it — compared to a diet of mostly whole foods. Why? Because they’re designed to be craveable, not satisfying.
But not all UPFs are “bad.” Some, like low-sugar yogurt or whole grain bread, can still support your goals. The key is choosing foods that help you feel full, fueled, and in control.
