Default Wait a minute! Isn't "nutrient dense" the same as low carb?

"Nutrient dense" is the new buzzword for sensible food choices. Isn't that what low carb is all about?

In a related thread, a poster mentioned that the fruits with the highest nutrient value, such as berries, are also low carb choices. I think this follows through in all categories. Meat versus grains, potatoes versus broccoli, raspberries versus apples.

So we're only doing what we are supposed to!

I think it's paying attention to not only the amount of carbs, but their position on the glycemic index scale. One's best choices are the high-nutrient/lower carb veggies, grains, or fruits.
