nutrients can be protein, fat, or carbs, OR vitamins or minerals. things like white bread suck when it comes to nutrients, since all the nutrients have been removed, except for the unhealthy stuff. things that are fried or fast foods are nurient dense. Chips, candy, all the junk foods too. not all fruits are high in nutrients. some like pineapples contain nothing but sugar and vitamin c with a tiny bit of fiber. I also forgot to mention that foods that have edible skin removed lack nutrients too, for example a cucumber's nutrients come from the skin, if you peel/take it off, then you are basically eating water.

Nutrient-dense refers to foods that have a lot of nutrients in a small amount. The term is usually used to describe grains, like quinoa and oats, vegetables and fruits, which pack a lot of vitamins and minerals in a small serving. Nutrient-dense foods are ideal for your health, because your body gets a lot of good nutrients without a lot of calories, preventing you from overeating.
Higher nutrient density allows you to get more benefit, from a smaller amount of food. Because of the higher nutrient density (found in fruits, vegetables and other natural foods) you will feel less hungry than you would if you ate pop tarts and potatoe chips.
