I think part of the problem here is that “healthy” in a nutritional quality sense is orthogonal to “healthy” in a caloric density sense.

This is the problem. We use “healthy” interchangeably and it really depends upon your goals.

For example, I would label peanut butter as a healthy snack, but you really need to keep an eye on your portions because it is wildly calorie dense and excess calories is usually unhealthy.
