KE Diet (Feeding Tube Diet) vs Clean Eating

    Clean Eating
    Total Rating
    6.4
    out of 10
    Metabolic Health
    7
    Generally supports metabolic health through whole foods but lacks consistent evidence for all markers and may have variability based on implementation.
    Micronutrients
    6
    Provides adequate micronutrients in most cases but risks deficiencies in B12, D, iodine, and iron without supplementation or fortified foods.
    Nutrient Density
    8
    Prioritizes whole foods and phytonutrient diversity but may lack optimal bioavailability and calorie density in some variations.
    Overall Health
    6
    Offers moderate benefits for chronic disease risk but risks nutrient deficiencies and sustainability challenges with strict plant-based versions.
    Sustainability
    6
    Moderate flexibility and accessibility but potential for strictness and cost barriers may hinder long-term adherence.
    Lifestyle Fit
    5
    Moderate social and travel flexibility but rigid restrictions limit real-world adaptability.
    Practicality
    6
    Requires moderate cost and accessibility but may lack flexibility for real-world meal planning and preparation.
    Appetite Control
    7
    Provides moderate satiety through fiber and protein but may lack consistent evidence for long-term appetite suppression.
    Fat Quality
    7
    Provides moderate quality fats with some omega-3 sources but lacks optimal EPA/DHA balance and may overemphasize omega-6s.
    Fiber Intake
    8
    Significantly enhances gut microbiome diversity and supports metabolic health through diverse, whole-food fiber sources.
    Gut Health
    7
    Promotes fiber diversity and fermented foods but may lack strict microbiome diversity due to variable implementation.
    Hormonal Support
    6
    Provides moderate support for hormones through balanced macronutrients but risks deficiencies in key micronutrients if not carefully planned.
    Macro Balance
    7
    Offers moderate macro flexibility but lacks rigorous evidence for optimal ratios in diverse populations.
    Protein Quality
    5
    Relies on incomplete plant proteins with lower digestibility and amino acid balance, risking insufficient leucine and muscle synthesis support.
    Taste
    6
    Offers moderate flavor variety but risks blandness without intentional seasoning or creativity.
    Body Composition
    6
    May support fat loss with adequate protein but risks muscle loss and lacks robust evidence for optimal body composition outcomes.
    Energy Balance
    6
    Provides moderate satiety through whole foods but lacks structured calorie control mechanisms and flexibility for precise energy management.
    Lean Mass
    5
    Moderate protein intake and energy availability may support muscle retention but lack robust evidence for optimal lean mass preservation during caloric restriction.
    Athletic Support
    6
    Provides adequate nutrients for general health but may lack optimal macronutrient balance and energy density for high-intensity athletic performance.
    Weight Loss
    6
    May support moderate weight loss through calorie deficit but lacks robust evidence for sustained fat loss and faces sustainability challenges.
