nice graph, what is the "calories per gram of food" or "caloric density" dimension/axis good for?

only use-case i can think of is something like packing food for hiking? other than that calories per gram of food is quite irrelevant, or am i missing something?

I think it's good to point out how dense they are when shopping. Cause you might be like "walnuts are so expensive per pound, no way they're worth it!" when really they are, they are just crazy dense.

Also if you are caring about "bulk" eating, where you want to make sure your stomach feels full all day, you want more things on the left side cause you'll feel like you are eating more food.

so it is interesting I felt!

yes, interesting, i just wondered if i'm missing something, maybe my statement was a bit too negative :-/

People who live in poverty could use this graph to plan the cheapest way to get their calories to avoid starving with very little money.

Is that what you're missing?
