You could measure by calories, since there will not be a huge difference in the number of calories consumed by people with different diets. Giving an incredibly quick example, wheat and ground beef have roughly the same caloric density Wheat: http://www.fatsecret.com/calories-nutrition/usda/whole-grain-wheat-flour?portionid=48559&portionamount=1.000 http://www.fatsecret.com/calories-nutrition/usda/whole-grain... Beef: http://www.fatsecret.com/calories-nutrition/usda/ground-beef-(70%25-lean---30%25-fat)?portionid=36120&portionamount=1.000 http://www.fatsecret.com/calories-nutrition/usda/ground-beef... But since it requires numerous pounds of wheat to create one pound of beef, you are losing overall caloric density.
