Dietary variety and BMI

April 21st, 2007 | by David Spelts |

Eating a wider variety of foods is associated with greater body mass index (BMI).

Greater variety of protein sources was associated with increased BMI. Greater variety of carbohydrates was associated with BMI in women only. Perhaps the men chose carbohydrates with more fiber. Variety of fat sources had no affect on BMI.
