What makes food healthy?

Healthy food is "nutrient dense". A nutrient dense food has a low ratio of calories to nutrients. For example, a spinach leaf is loaded with nutrients with very few calories. Healthy food is also satisfying. A satisfying food fills you up without a ton of calories. For example, a potato chip packs a load of calories, but it takes a load of them to fill you up. The best meals are both satisfying and nutrient dense. For example, a spinach salad with grilled chicken is both satisfying and nutrient dense.
