Question

Which of the following is an example of a nutritionally dense food?

Boxed cereal
Fruit drinks
Macaroni and cheese
Salmon

Answer 1

Salmon is an example of a nutritionally dense food.

Why is it a nutritionally dense food?

• Salmon is a good source of protein, omega-3 fatty acids, and a variety of vitamins and minerals.
• It is relatively low in calories compared to other protein sources as well.

Boxed cereal and fruit drinks may be high in sugar and low in other nutrients, and macaroni and cheese may be high in calories, fat, and sodium, making them less nutritionally dense than salmon.
