Why is it better to get calories from nutrient-dense foods rather than from foods that lack nutrition?

Nutrient- dense foods will make you feel fuller for longer. Many studies have shown that someone on a diet high in nutrients will consume fewer calories. They’ll also have a lesser impact on blood sugar levels and subsequent insulin response.
