Terms such as nutrient rich and micronutrient dense refer to similar properties.

Currently there is no universal standard for the term nutrient density, nor an agreed unit with which to measure it.

A 2007 UK-commissioned review of nutrient profiling models commissioned by the UK Food Standards Agency identified over 40 different schemes.

So even a diet based on a lot of high-density products could still lack several essential nutrients.
