(k)Caloric Control: manage food energy intake. 4. (Nutrient) Density: select foods that deliver the most nutrients for the least food energy. "High nutrient Density." 5. Moderation 6. Variety
The measure of the nutrient content of a food compared to its energy content is referred to as nutrient density. Nutrient-dense foods provide a high level of essential nutrients relative to their calorie content, making them more beneficial for health. Foods that are high in nutrient density include fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and lean proteins. In contrast, foods low in nutrient density often contain empty calories with minimal nutritional value.
Foods that do not follow nutrient density and contain less nutrients that calories. Ex. chocolate ice cream cookies cake
