Foods are sometimes described according to their nutrient density, the proportion of essential nutrients to the number of kilojoules. High-nutrient-density foods, such as fruits and vegetables, provide a large number of nutrients in relationship to kilojoules. Low-nutrient-density foods, such as alcohol or sugar, are high in kilojoules but are nutrient-poor.
