Answer to Question 1

Nutrient density describes the essential nutrient contents of a food relative to its calorie content. A food that is more nutrient dense will have more nutrients such as fiber, vitamins, or minerals but fewer calories. For example, instead of having fried chicken with a lot of calories, you can have baked chicken, which has fewer calories with the same key nutrients, such as protein and vitamin B12 . You can compare the nutrient density of foods at the grocery store by reading the labels and selecting the food that has more fiber, minerals, and vitamins and less saturated and trans fat and sugar. Eating nutrient-dense foods will help you achieve adequacy with calorie control in your eating plan.
