is one of the useful diet tools to help you eat more healthfully.
The KNU Diet is organized into four food groups based on their nutrient contents.
There are Group 1 (dairy products and eggs),
Group 2 (meat, fish and beans),
Group 3 (vegetables and fruits), and
Group 4 (grains, oil, and sugar).
By making choices from each food group, you are able to take the right balance of nutrients. Moreover, you can enjoy a variety of meals without boring by just picking up diffrent kinds of foods from each group.
STEP 2: 80kcal as 1pointsFor your well-balanced diet, you count 80kcal as 1 point.
STEP 3: 20points per day
The basic total points per day is 20 points (1600kcal).
Depending on your age, sex, and activity level, your required calories are decided.
For a 20 point diet (1600kcal), at first you choose
3-point foods from Group 1 to Group 3 (9 points in total) in order to take the necessary nutrients for everyone. And then, you choose 11-point foods from Group 4.
