What Is High Volume Eating? And Why It Inspired Our Name

If you’ve ever wished you could eat more without blowing your calorie budget, you’re not alone. In fact, that craving to feel satisfied—not just “barely full”—is what sparked the entire concept behind High Volume Foods.

Let’s dive into what “High Volume Eating” really means, why it’s become a popular approach to weight management, and how it inspired our founder, Tom, to create a baked good that doesn’t force you to choose between flavor and fullness.


What Is High Volume Eating?

High Volume Eating is a style of eating that emphasizes larger portions of food that are lower in calories but high in fiber and water content, helping you feel full without overconsuming calories. Think of it as eating more, but smarter.

Instead of a tiny 300-calorie brownie that leaves you still hungry, high volume eaters would opt for something more substantial—like a fiber-rich dessert or a large portion of vegetables, fruits, lean proteins, or low-calorie baked goods.

Common High Volume Foods:

  • Leafy greens and non-starchy vegetables (like cauliflower, zucchini, mushrooms)
  • Fresh fruit, especially berries and melons
  • Air-popped popcorn
  • Greek yogurt
  • Low-calorie, high-fiber baked goods 👀 (More on that in a sec...)

If you’re curious about the science behind satiety and how food volume affects hunger, the CDC has an excellent overview of low-energy-density eating that breaks it down.


Why It Matters: Feeling Full Isn’t a Luxury

Let’s face it: most of us don’t just want to “hit our macros” or “stay in a calorie deficit.” We want to enjoy our food—and feel full while we do it.

That’s where high volume eating comes in. It’s not a diet—it’s a mindset. You can still enjoy foods you love, but the right kind of foods (and recipes) let you eat a lot more of them for fewer calories.


Tom’s Story: From Cravings to Creation

Our founder, Tom, has always had a deep, delicious love for baked goods. Brownies in particular? Forget about it.

He’d pick one up from the store, take it back to the car, and before he made it home… it was gone. The problem? One single brownie could pack 300–500 calories or more. And that sweet craving rarely stopped at just one.

So Tom set out on a mission. He didn’t want to stop eating brownies—he wanted to make a version that didn’t sabotage his goals.

“I didn’t want to give up my favorite foods. I just wanted a brownie I could actually feel good about eating—and maybe even eat two.” — Tom, Founder of High Volume Foods

And that’s how High Volume Foods was born. Our mission is simple: make big, satisfying, guilt-free portions of the foods people crave most—starting with Tom’s personal favorite.


Our First Product: The Low-Calorie Chocolate Brownie

The Bigger Picture: A Brand Built on Fullness

We didn’t just pick the name High Volume because it sounded cool (though we think it does). We picked it because it represents a shift in how we think about food.

No more tiny portions. No more trade-offs between flavor and fullness. Just real food that satisfies.
