nutrient dense foods: (check all that apply)

Explanation:

Nutrient - dense foods are those that provide a high amount of nutrients (like vitamins, minerals, protein, healthy fats, etc.) relative to their calorie content.

• Fruits: They are rich in vitamins (e.g., vitamin C in citrus fruits), fiber, and antioxidants. For example, oranges are high in vitamin C and fiber, and they are low in calories relative to the nutrients they provide.
• Vegetables: Vegetables like broccoli are rich in vitamins (vitamin K, vitamin C), minerals (potassium), and fiber. They have low - calorie content and high nutritional value.
• Leafy greens: Spinach, kale etc. are leafy greens. They are packed with vitamins (vitamin A, vitamin K), minerals (iron, calcium), and antioxidants. They are very low in calories but very high in nutrients.
• Oily fish: Fish like salmon, mackerel are oily fish. They are rich in omega - 3 fatty acids, high - quality protein, and vitamins (like vitamin D) and minerals (like selenium). They provide a lot of essential nutrients per calorie.

So all of these options are nutrient - dense foods.
