Feedback:

Answer to Question 2

B, D, E
Feedback:
The Dietary Guidelines for Americans, 2010 recommend decreasing total caloric intake to manage body weight; however, a 1000-calorie diet is not adequate for a 4-year-old who is rapidly growing. A 1200-calorie or 1400-calorie diet would be more appropriate. It is also recommend that physical activity be increased. Keeping healthy snacks on hand instead of junk food will also help encourage proper eating habits. Steps should also be taken to limit empty calories.
