Our preference for food is strongly influenced by its energy content. High caloric food has a positive effect on our brain reward system, leading us to crave and prefer those types of food. This preference is further reinforced by cultural and environmental factors. Therefore, a person is more likely to prefer food that has a high number of calories.
