Nutrient Density

[Plenum]

That means, if we were going to get all of our protein from almonds we would need to eat 2 cups of almonds in a day.

In contrast, if we were going to get all of our protein from spinach we would need to eat 60 cups of spinach in a day.

Something to keep in mind when reading books or watching viral videos on diet. Many "gurus" appear to be confused about these different units.

so if we can examine the animal kingdom, most herbivores (horses, cows) eat low nutrient density foods, but in enormous quantities.

in my own formulated diet I have a strong preference for ultra-density foods. I have some frozen peas and corn and a dash of sauerkraut, but that is about the only vege's I have. No fruit at all. Rye bread for fibre content.

I definitely prefer to eat less and chew less
