My definition of nutrient dense ?

here you go ( need a little help from here )

The ratio of nutrients to calories, sometimes called the nutrient-calorie benefit ratio (NCBR). Foods that supply significant amounts of one or more nutrients compared to the number of calories they supply are called nutrient dense. Eggs have a high nutrient density because they provide excellent protein—per Large egg, 10 to 13% of the DRV—and a wide range of vitamins and minerals in proportion to their calorie count—only 75 calories per Large egg. ~see Biological Value, Calories, Inside Front Cover, Nutrient, Protein

Eggs have long been an important contributor to the nutritional quality of the American diet. While eggs provide only 1.3% of the average caloric intake, they are so nutrient dense that they contribute a great deal more nutrition than calories: 6% of the RDA for riboflavin, 5% of the folate, 4% of the vitamin E and vitamin A, and almost 4% of the protein. When an item provides more nutrients than calories to the average American diet it deserves to be called "nutrient dense" and deserves to be part of everyone's diet.

Well, If you are a low fat(Dietary fats are needed for the conversion of carotene to vitamin A) strict vegan with diabetes, hypothyrodism, poor liver/gall bladder function. There is serious concern on the conversion of beta carotene to Vitamin A. The lack of this nutrient has been linked to blindness ,urinary & respiratory infection. It's best to get Vitamin A from complex natural food source such as good clean organic egg and other animal products.

See, if you have no problem with stem cell research that would potentially benefit million of people, you are pro-choice. Then there is nothing wrong by getting a little help from a good clean organic egg (without central nervous system) from happy range fed chicken
