Lean meat is has around 100 kcal per 100 grams. This is similar to most fruits and veg.
More fatty meat sits at around 230 kcal per 100 grams.
You'll find that carb sources are around 200-350 kcal per 100 gram and sweet process foods are around the top of this level.
So when the OP says that the calorie density in meat is low, they are correct in the case of lean meat.
- antisthenes 7y agoSource for the 100kcal per 100 grams please. Even rabbit meat, the leanest possible game meat has 136 calories per 100 grams. https://www.fatsecret.com/calories-nutrition/usda/rabbit-meat?portionid=61327&portionamount=100.000 https://www.fatsecret.com/calories-nutrition/usda/rabbit-mea... Average red meats will have calorie ranges right around 180-240 kcal per 100 grams. Of course that's low compared to sugary processed foods if you're going just by calories. But it certainly isn't lowest when you consider the entire food pyramid. (most veggies and some fruits are lower)

Chicken breast: http://www.calorielijst.nl/product/?calorie=418 http://www.calorielijst.nl/product/?calorie=418 White fish like Cod and Haddock are similar only they contain less water. Maybe you don't have lean cuts in your country?
