Nutrient Dense Foods

[Intro Music] Welcome to MyPyramid Podcasts, brought to you by the USDA’s Center for Nutrition Policy and Promotion. I’m your host. I’ll be sharing tips you can use everyday to eat right and get active. 

Today we’re going to discuss nutrient dense foods. These foods are smart choices because they give you nutrients you need with fewer calories than food choices that are often higher in calories. Nutrient dense foods have fewer added sugars and are lower in fat. For example, choose whole wheat toast instead of croissants and pastries.

That’s it for today. To find out more about eating and living healthy, go on our website at MyPyramid.gov for more great tips. Talk with you soon!
