Super nutrient-dense foods are high in vitamins and nutrients in relation to their calorie content. These will support the body and mind and give more energy than choosing empty calories found in processed snacks and sugary foods.

Creating a diet that you will stick to can feel challenging if just beginning the journey to improving health.

But an excellent way to start is by jotting down a list of nutrient-dense foods and then trying to add a new variety weekly. Another great way to increase the variety is to eat seasonally. Try finding a local farmers market to grab a few new local and seasonal foods weekly!

When making healthy changes to the diet, there’s a lot to consider, and a balanced, gradual approach should always be top-of-mind as it will be easier to sustain.

The nutrient density of a food depends on its ratio of beneficial ingredients to the energy content or calorie amount.

The simplest way to identify nutrient-dense foods is by looking at their nutritional content.

The most nutrient-dense foods will have high levels of protein, fiber, vitamins, and minerals. If the item has high amounts of sodium, sugar, and saturated fats, it will not serve your body in the long run.

Even though foods high in added sugar, saturated, and trans fats may taste delicious, they won’t do as much to support your body’s essential functions and may result in a crash after a short burst of energy.

Most fruits and veggies are incredibly dense in micronutrients.  Try to include a fruit and/or vegetable at each meal and snack, with a goal of at least 5 servings daily. 

Eating a variety of fruits and vegetables is key because they all contain different nutrient profiles. If its difficult to fit them into the diet, they can be incorporated into smoothies, protein shakes, soups, sauces, dips, or pasta dishes.

Nutrient-dense foods are an important part of a healthy diet. When choosing nutrient-dense foods before empty calories, you’ll be increasing the number of vitamins, nutrients, protein, fiber, and good fats that your mind and body need to thrive.
