Snacks, brown rice chips vs Snacks, candy bits, yogurt covered with vitamin C

Brown rice chips and yogurt-covered candy bits both score 57 of 100 for nutrient density, but the numbers behind that tie are worlds apart. Per 100 g, the candy bits have 65 g of sugar versus just 0.6 g in the rice chips, and no protein at all (0 g vs 8.2 g). The rice chips also have far more fiber (4.2 g vs 0.2 g), though the candy bits are slightly higher in calories (415 vs 384).

Choose brown rice chips whenever you want a snack with meaningfully more fiber and protein and far less sugar. Choose the candy bits only if a sweet, low-fiber treat is what you're after. The matching score here is misleading: brown rice chips are the clearly better everyday choice for sustained nutrient density, and the tie mainly reflects how a sugar-heavy candy scores against a starchy chip.
