First, let's take a look at the macros. Each of these are listed in grams and as usual, normalized to 200 calories for easy comparison, so we're always comparing apples to apples.
| Carrots | Chocolate |
| Nutrient | carrots | chocolate |
| Protein | 4g | 2g |
| Carbohydrate | 47g | 24g |
| Fiber | 17g | 2g |
| Fat | 1g | 14g |
| Monounsat. Fat | 0g | 14g |
| Polyunsat. Fat | 0g | 0g |
| Saturated Fat | 0g | 8g |
Next, let's take a look at the Vitamin density. These values are shown in units of percent of recommended daily intake. And since we're showing 200 calories worth, this means anything above 10% is good.
| Nutrient | carrots | chocolate |
| Choline | 11% | 3% |
| Vitamin A | 631% | 0% |
| Vitamin C | 20% | 0% |
| Vitamin E | 0% | 1% |
| Vitamin K | 67% | 3% |
Carrots have significantly more Vitamins A, C, K than chocolate. Carrots are a good source of Vitamin C, Niacin, Potassium, Calcium, Phosphorus. Carrots are a great source of Vitamin K, Pantothenic Acid, Vitamin B6, Iron. Carrots are an excellent source of Vitamin A.
And here we see the B-vitamins: B1 (Thiamin), B2 (Riboflavin), B3 (Niacin), B5 (Pantothenic Acid), B6 (Pyridoxine)
| Nutrient | carrots | chocolate |
| Vitamin B1 | 17% | 1% |
| Vitamin B2 | 19% | 9% |
| Vitamin B3 | 27% | 2% |
| Vitamin B5 | 46% | 1% |
| Vitamin B6 | 55% | 2% |
| Vitamin B12 | 0% | 0% |
Now, lets look at mineral density. Here we have a lot of important electrolytes and minerals. Once again, units are in percent of RDI, thus for this 200 calorie serving anything above 10% would considered high.
| Nutrient | carrots | chocolate |
| Sodium | 30% | 0% |
| Potasium | 39% | 3% |
| Calcium | 37% | 2% |
