Jeff,

>>>The reason is, many foods that are healthy, are listed in their
dry forms like oats, brown rice, barley, whole grain pasta, etc. If
you evaluate calorie density in their dry uncooked form, it will be
very high, over 1200 calories per pound.

What is the equation you use to arrive at calories per pound?

>>>This is why in my Label Reading talk, I do not give a
guidelines for calorie density. It doesn't work for the acceptable
foods and most all others are calorie dense.

Is your Label Reading Talk available on video?

Thanks again Jeff for all the great information.

Tim
