How to Calculate Calorie Density

Formula

Calorie Density = Calories / Weight (grams)

Density Categories

  • Very low: less than 0.6 kcal/g (most vegetables, fruits)
  • Low: 0.6-1.5 kcal/g (grains, lean proteins)
  • Medium: 1.5-4.0 kcal/g (meats, bread, cheese)
  • High: 4.0-9.0 kcal/g (nuts, oils, butter)

    • Eating more low-density foods helps with satiety and weight management.

    Exemple Résolu

    A 100 g serving of almonds has 250 kcal.

    1. Calorie density: 250 / 100 = 2.5 kcal/g.
    2. This is a medium-density food.
    3. Per ounce: 2.5 x 28.35 = 70.9 kcal/oz.
