Answer to Question 1

FALSE

Answer to Question 2

Nutrient density refers to the amount of nutrients a food contains in relationship to the number of calories it contains. More nutrient-dense foods provide more nutrients per calorie (and in each bite) than do less nutrient-dense foods, and so are better choices for meeting your DRIs without exceeding your daily caloric needs. Energy density refers to the number of calories a food contains relative to its weight (grams) or volume. To summarize: nutrient density = amount of nutrients per calorie in a food; energy density = number of calories per gram (or volume) of food.
