When it comes to animal products (or fibreless resources), we cannot sort them according to their W factor since it is infinite. So instead, we sort according to the E factor or energy density. Since fat has more calories per gram, this tends to create a cascade from lean to fatty. Looking at cheese, you can see how the leaner cheeses give way to the fattier ones. Use this analysis next time you cook something with cheese in it.

I spent the first part of my life playing piano and composing music. I graduated from UCLA with a degree in music composition and cognitive science. Then I became a User Interface Engineer for four years. I moved home to Raleigh, NC to be closer to my family and began to freelance. On the side, I created a company called Elemental Nutrition & Wellness that uses interactive resource calculators to give people the tools they need to lose weight and boost nutrition. Now I have my own practice as a holistic nutritionist. I help people meet their weight loss goals by fostering self-motivation. You can reach me at ross@elementalnutritionandwellness.com.
