This seems accurate but I worry the phrasing is potentially misleading. Since UP foods are typically extremely calorie dense, they make up a ton of the calories while only being a small percentage of the volume of food consumed. It really undersells the dangers of these foods, that even seemingly small amounts have a very disproportionate impact.

Yeah. I got down to a much healthier weight after I figured that out. I was using ultra processed huge calorie snacks to close a daily calorie gap. When I cut those out, I discovered that I basically needed to be preparing an extra daily meal. But since I’m lazy, I just dramatically increased my portion sizes of my regular meals, and still lost weight and felt better.
