The term “healthy” is generally used to describe meals that are nutrient-dense, meaning that per serving, they deliver a lot of nutrients that are beneficial for general health. These foods include ingredients high in fiber and good fats, and which are naturally rich in vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants. Healthy foods are typically minimally processed, whole foods low in added salt, saturated fats, and added sugars, as well as artificial sweeteners. However, depending on one’s individual health conditions, certain meal patterns or foods may be more desirable than others, and calorie needs will vary based on a person’s specific needs and activity level.  It should be noted that anti-diet proponents and intuitive eating experts abstain from labeling foods as healthy and unhealthy, since they strongly believe that all foods can fit in a “healthy” diet, including foods that aren’t necessarily nutrient-dense.
