Snacks, candy bits, yogurt covered with vitamin C vs Snacks, soy chips or crisps, salted
Original comparison by NutriVerdict
Bottom line: Snacks, candy bits, yogurt covered with vitamin C and Snacks, soy chips or crisps, salted score the same on nutrient density, 57 of 100.
Yogurt-covered candy bits and salted soy chips both score 57 of 100 for nutrient density, but they differ in almost every category. Soy chips deliver 26.5 g of protein per 100 g against zero in the candy bits, plus more fiber (3.5 g vs 0.2 g). The candy bits, in turn, carry 65 g of sugar per 100 g versus 1.8 g in the soy chips, while soy chips carry far more sodium (842 mg vs 75 mg).
Choose soy chips when protein and fiber matter and you can manage the 842 mg of sodium per 100 g. Choose the candy bits only for an occasional sweet with lower sodium, keeping in mind their 65 g of sugar per 100 g is substantial. The identical score masks two very different tradeoffs, sodium versus sugar, so read the numbers rather than the score alone.
