High in calories with fewer essential nutrients. Label Essentials Informed Choices Serving Size: Defines one portion for nutrient values. Boost Beneficals Aim for higher %DV in vitamins, fiber, and protein. Calories: Total energy per serving. Nutrients: Fats, Carbs, Proteins, Sodium listed by quantity. Apple Vegetables Fish Limit Soda Chips Candy Undesirables %DV: Indicates contribution to a 2,000 calorie diet. Reduce intake of saturated fats, sodium, and added sugars. "A healthy dietary pattern emphasizes nutrient-dense forms of foods and beverages, fitting within calorie limits." Sources: heart.org, fda.gov, baycare.org, dietaryguidelines.gov
