Answer:

Answer below!

Step-by-step explanation:

Higher energy dense foods tend to be higher in calories, have a higher fat content, and a low water content. Foods such as peanut butter, eggs and cheese would all be considered energy dense foods. On the contrary, foods such as watermelon, salad (without the oily dressing!), and most, but not all, fruits and vegetables are lower energy dense foods because of their low fat, high fiber and water content.

I hope this helps!
