Nutrient Density Foods Food Diet Diets

WHAT IS NUTRIENT DENSITY

It is a measure of the nutrients provided per calorie of food, or the ratio of nutrients to calories (energy).

Foods that supply generous amounts of one or more nutrients compared to the number of calories they supply are called nutrient dense. Eggs, for example, have a high nutrient density, because they provide protein and many vitamins and minerals in proportion their calories.

NUTRIENT DENSE FOODS

The following foods are nutrient dense:
1. fruits and vegetables that are bright or deeply colored
2. foods that are fortified
3. lower fat versions of meats*, milk, dairy products and eggs

A 3-oz. serving of meat provides about 160-200 calories plus significant amounts of many key nutrients such as protein, B-vitamins, iron, and zinc. By comparison, a snack food or soft drink with essentially the same number of calories per serving is very low or lacking in most nutrients (especially micro nutrients) other than fat and/or carbohydrate.

Therefore, meat is a "nutrient-dense" food while the snack food is not.

Less nutrient dense foods may:
1. be lighter or whiter in color
2. contain a lot of refined sugar
3. be refined products (white bread as compared to whole grains)
4. contain high amounts of fat for the amount of nutrients compared to similar products (fat-free milk vs. ice cream**)

**Milk is denser than ice cream in calcium per calorie. A cup of fat-free milk has about twice the calcium as a cup of ice cream; however, the milk only contains 85 calories and the ice cream has more than 350 calories.
