Post by: mikael on Aug 9, 2013
What is the difference between nutrient density (ND) and energy density (ED)?
A. ED refers to foods that are low in nutrients high in energy; ND refers to foods high in nutrients and energy.
B. ED refers to foods that are high in nutrients (such as vitamins and minerals) but low in kilocalories.
C. ND refers to foods that are high in nutrients (such as vitamins and minerals) and low in kilocalories; ED refers to foods high in energy and low in volume/weight.
D. ND refers to foods high in weight/volume; ED refers to foods high in nutrients (such as vitamins and minerals) and high in kilocalories.
