1. A high nutrient density food is the one that provides all three macromolecules like carbohydrates, fats and proteins rather than providing calories from fats or carbohydrates alone. When the nutrient density values are compared Dave' s pasta provides 160 calories from fats of total 390 calories. Bob's pasta provides only 35 calories from fats of total 230 calories and rest of calories are obtained from carbohydrates, proteins and sodium. Thus, Bob's pasta is nutrient dense than Dave's pasta.
2. Dave' s pasta provides 160 calories from fats of total 390 calories. Bob's pasta provides only 35 calories from fats of total 230 calories .
Therefore, percent of calories obtained from fats in Dave's pasta = 160/390 x 100 = 41 calories
Percent of calories obt ained from fat in Bob's pasta = 35/ 230 x 100 = 15.2 calories
3. If two packs of Bob's pasta is consumed than the number of calories = 2 x 230 = 460 calories
4. The 100% daily values of sodium per 2000 calories diet is less than 2400 mg. Bob's pasta provides 590mg (25%) of sodium. To obtain 100% sodium about 4 packs of Bob's pasta should be consumed.
5. Proteins provide 4kcal per gram consumption.
Dave's pasta provides 17g of protein and it is equal to 17 x 4 = 68 cal.
The total calories obtained by Dave's pasta are 390 calories.
Therefore, percent of calories obtained from proteins = 68/390 x 100 = 17%
Bob's pasta provides 19g of protein and calories obtained = 19 x 4 = 76
Total number of calories = 230
Percent of calories obtained from protein = 76/ 230 x 100 = 33%
6. I prefer to choose Bob's pasta as it provides good amounts of proteins, fats and carbohydrates rather than high amounts of fats as in DVe's pasta. The nutrition facts labels provide information about amounts of nutrients, number of calories per nutrient and % daily values of each nutrient which is valuable information of food product. Using nutrition fact labels, the foods can be chosen in the diet to maintain good amounts of calories per day and as well as to maintain the weight.
