Adherence

High consumption of 'savory-fatty' tasting foods is associated with increased total energy intake and overweight status, whereas 'neutral' tasting foods are consumed in lower proportions by high-energy consumers.

Focus on the taste profile of your diet, not just processing levels. High intake of 'savory-fatty' foods (common in many processed dishes) is strongly linked to higher energy consumption and overweight status in this population. To manage weight, consider reducing the proportion of energy derived from savory-fatty clusters and increasing neutral-tasting foods, which were consumed in higher proportions by those with lower energy intake.
