Question

Achieving a balanced diet is best done by

a. eating nothing but fruits.
b. getting the right number of calories each day.
c. eating at least one item from each food group daily.
d. getting 100% of your calcium requirements each day.

Answer 1

A is incorrect. Eating nothing but fruits will not provide you with the right amount of carbohydrates and proteins everyday. C is incorrect. It is not enough that we eat one of each food group since we have target calories per food group. D is incorrect since calcium is not only what our body needs. B is correct, we have target number of calories each day in our diet.
