Nutrient density of food is calculated by assessing the amount of essential nutrients it provides relative to its energy content (calories). This is typically done by dividing the total grams of vitamins, minerals, and other beneficial components by the total calories in a serving of the food. A higher nutrient density indicates that a food offers more nutrients per calorie, making it a healthier choice. This measurement helps guide dietary decisions by emphasizing foods that deliver maximum nutrition without excessive calories.

How would you explain the concepts of nutrient density and energy density?
Nutrient density refers to the amount of essential nutrients (like vitamins, minerals, and proteins) a food provides relative to its caloric content; foods high in nutrient density offer more nutrients per calorie. In contrast, energy density measures the number of calories in a given weight or volume of food; foods with high energy density contain many calories but may lack essential nutrients. For example, fruits and vegetables are generally nutrient-dense and low in energy density, while sugary snacks may be energy-dense but low in nutrient density. Balancing both concepts is key to a healthy diet.
