There are so many nutrients that the human body needs that it is impossible to conatin them all within one food, and in the right quantities.
However, eggs have a very high nutritional value - they provide many nutrients in comparison to calories - and contain many of the nutrients which the body needs, but no carbohydrate. They obviously do not provide enought of each nutrient, and living solely off eggs would not be advisable, but they are a healthy food which will help enormously toward a balanced diet. They contain all of the nutrients which a baby chick would need to survive off, and although this is not the sme as our needs, it is pretty similar. Some are 'killed off' by cooking - such as Thiamin and Vitamin C, which are heat-sensitive vitamins.
Milk has the same principle - what a calf needs to live off. It is a very good source of protein and calcium and also various other essential nutrients such as riboflavin and 'good' fats. Milk contains all of the proteins which the body needs, so is especially good if vegetarian. Again, heat-sensitive vitamins are destroyed in treatment.
A kiwi does contain all of the Vitamin C recommended in a day, and has only 30-40 kcal, so is good if on a severely restrictive diet, in which case fruits may be abandoned.
So a dinner which consisted of a boiled egg, a slice of wholemeal toast, a glass of milk and a kiwi would contain a pretty balanced range of nutrients.
I hope this was useful? :)

Is the nutrient density of a food depends on the amount of nutrients it contains and the comparison of that value to its caloric content?
Yes, nutrient density refers to the amount of essential nutrients a food contains relative to its caloric content. Foods that are high in vitamins, minerals, and other beneficial compounds but low in calories are considered nutrient-dense. In contrast, foods high in calories but low in nutrients are considered less nutrient-dense. Therefore, a food's nutrient density is determined by evaluating its nutrient content in relation to its total calories.
Why is milk is complete food?
Milk contains nearly every single nutrient which human body wants like Calcium, Vitamin D, Sugar, Fat, Starch, Water, Carbohydrates, etc. So, this makes it a complete package and a kind of substitute of food.
