Not a new concept, but it has been helpful for me to look at a food and decide if it falls more into the "nutrition" category or the "calories" category. In some ways I'm guessing that encapsulates other popular notions like Whole30 or calorie density. However, instead of say, valuing all fruits the same, because they are whole, unprocessed food, this framework allows me to better distinguish between blueberries (quite nutritious, relatively few calories) and bananas (quite a lot of calories, not a ton of nutrition), or between lean fish vs smoked beef sausage.
Anyway, I'm hopeful that this could help stem hunger by keeping my nutrient levels high, while allowing me to rely mostly on stored calories.
We shall see....

I like most fresh fruits, and most meat proteins. Is that "bad"?

I don't think any food is "bad" by itself. A person can limit calories eating only Twinkies (as a previous famous journalism stunt showed). I was just saying that for me, rather than categorizing by food type (fresh fruit, breads/grains, etc), for me, thinking about whether a food is providing significant nutrition beyond calories helps to limit calorie-dense foods. And within categories like fresh fruit, there's a continuum of foods that are more nutrient dense vs more calorie dense.

Same - I find myself comparing different foods to find which will suit my goals better.

Dr. Fuhrman has an equation that fits your approach:
Health = Nutrients / Calories
In other words you are healthiest when you eat food high in Micronutrients and low in calories.
