Answer: option B) False

Step-by-step explanation:

The body relies on SEVERAL sources for its energy or glucose supply.

Firstly, understand that Glucose could be supplied from the following:

Glycogenolysis (Glycogen break down induced by Glucagon)

Amino acids metabolism (once amine group is removed)

Fatty acid oxidation.

All of the pathways mentioned can directly or indirectly yeild GLUCOSE, thus making it UNNECESSARY for Carbohydrate meals to be consumed every 3 to 4 hours.

Therefore, the answer is False
