Nutrient-Dense Foods

 

The 2005 Dietary Guidelines for Americans and USDA's MyPyramid food guidance system urge Americans to choose foods that are 'nutrient-dense'.

 

What are 'nutrient-dense' foods?

Nutrient-dense foods are foods that provide the most vitamins, minerals and other nutrients with the fewest calories from extra fats and sugars.

Eat a variety of nutrient-rich foods:                                  

                                                                                                      

  • Brightly colored fruits and 100% fruit juices
  • Vibrant-colored vegetables
  • Whole, fortified and fiber-rich grain foods
  • Fat-free and lowfat milk, cheese and yogurt
  • Lean meats, skinless poultry, fish, eggs, beans and nuts
