Calorie density is the number of calories per gram of food. Low calorie-dense foods like fruits and vegetables let you eat larger portions for fewer calories.
Most vegetables (10-60 cal/100g) and fruits (30-80 cal/100g) are low density. High density foods include nuts, seeds, and oils (500-900 cal/100g).
