Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 3
Rationale 1: The words lighter or reduced calories only mean that this version of the food is lower in calories than a previous version, but the food can still be very high in calories.
Rationale 2: There is no special label letter that indicates foods lighter in calories.
Rationale 3: In order to qualify as a low-calorie food in a 2,000-calorie diet, the food must have less than 40 calories per serving.
Rationale 4: Foods that are lower in fat also contain fewer calories, but low fat is considered less than 5.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 4
Rationale 1: The changes in this measurement occur so slowly that remeasuring in 2 days would not provide significant data.
Rationale 2: The changes in this measurement occur so slowly that remeasuring in 10 days to 2 weeks, would not provide significant data.
Rationale 3: The changes in this measurement occur so slowly that remeasuring in 1 month would not provide significant data.
Rationale 4: Anthropometric measurements such as triceps skinfold measurement provide the most meaningful data when monitored over longer periods of time such as several months to years.
