METHOD FOR DETERMINING AND REPRESENTING FOOD PRODUCTS BASED ON NUTRIENT DENSITY RATING AND PREDICTED SATIATING EFFECT

A method of assisting individuals in making food choices by providing two nutritional indices. One is a numerical expression of a food's overall nutrient density and the other is a separate numerical expression that relates to a food's caloric density that is a prediction of the satiating effect of a food. A visual aid in the form of a graph or chart is provided so individuals using the indices can refer to the chart to determine food selections in accordance with the individual's dietary goals.
