We’ve been measuring healthfulness with the wrong number. Calories.
Calories paint an incomplete picture of a food’s healthiness. Calories measure energy, which is one of many factors in determining if a food will work with your body’s unique chemistry.
Consider your lactose-intolerant friend or your pre-diabetic grandmother… what might be a nutritious snack for you could cause a disastrous flare up for them. That’s why it’s essential we look beyond calories to the specific content of the foods we buy for ourselves and those we love.

Nutrient Density
Ingredient Quality
The quantity of beneficial nutrients you get per calorie
The quality of individual ingredients that make up a food
