Foods that provide 100 calories per serving are considerate moderate in calories content. Foods that provide 400 calories per serving are considerate high in calories content. I can use the above information to make healthy food choice decisions. For example > If know I am going to have an intense, long day at work, I might eat foods that provide 400 calories per serving, like whole wheat toasts, with smashed banana, almond butter and honey. That will provide energy (carbs form the bread, banana and honey), protein (almond butter, whole wheat grain), and fiber (whole wheat), to keep me going all day.  Then, for dinner, since a had a nutrition lunch, I might just have a light dinner that provides 100 calories per serving, like a fresh green salad and/or a comforting green vegetable soup.

When buying foods, I should avoid buying pre-made, processed foods. After what I learned in my nutrition class, I can infer that to stay healthy, I should try to eat more whole foods (fruits, vegetables, grains, legumes), ideally organic (herbicide/pesticide free), and make my own foods from scratch.
