ENERGY DENSITY
Energy density refers to how many Calories (or kcal) there are per gram of food. More energy dense foods have lots of calories in a small amount of food, like fat, while less energy dense foods have fewer calories in a large serving, like celery. Note fruits and vegetables have very low energy density. Here's some specific examples:
| food | Cal/g | energy density |
| berry muffin | 2.6 | medium |
| berry yogurt | 1.0 | low |
| veggie pizza | 2.34 | medium |
| tossed salad | 1.04 | low |
| chocolate chip bar | 4.68 | high |
| mexican casserole | 1.44 | low |
| tortilla chips | 4.64 | high |
| salsa (vegetable) | 0.44 | very low |
| ice cream | 2.21 | medium |
| green beans (vegetable) | .44 | very low |
| grapes (fruit) | 0.89 | very low |
See a poster on the Volumetrics Diet which incorporates energy density and nutrient density into an intelligent dieting program.
