To make the most out of your 1500 calorie diet, opt for whole foods over processed ones. Whole foods are natural, unrefined, nutrient-dense ones, while processed foods often contain added sugars, unhealthy fats and are high in salt. Not only do whole foods provide more nutrients, but they can also offer more volume per calorie - ideal when on a calorie-restricted diet.

Items like fresh fruits, vegetables, lean meats, fish, whole grains, legumes, nuts, and seeds count as whole foods. These can give you the feeling of a full, satisfying meal without crossing your calorie limit.
