The 2005 DGAC identified nutrient density as a key concept, stressing the need to:

  • Develop a scientific definition
  • f nutrient density of foods
  • Convey the concept of

nutrient density to the consumer consumer

  • Assist consumers in making

wise food choices

Are building on the 2005 g recommendations Definition of Nutrient Density

Nutrient-dense foods are those foods that provide substantial amounts of vitamins and minerals (micronutrients) and relatively few calories. Foods that are low in nutrient density are foods that supply calories but

18

that supply calories but relatively small amounts

sometimes none at all
