This actually isn't bad.  250g of deer yields about 65g of
protein, for example, but rather little fat.  If remaining energy
needs are satisfied from plant foods, there will be some
additional protein and probably a lot more micronutrients.

It would be interesting to know what the people on the Caloric
Restriction list have identified as the most nutrient-dense
foods.  Since their way of eating depends upon getting maximum
nutrients out of minimum calories, I'd expect that they have some
sort of a nutrient scoring system.

In fact, it would be even more interesting to compare nutrient
scores per 100 *calories* versus scores per 100 grams.
