Answer to Question 1

C
Feedback:
The goal of a low-fat diet is to restrict the total fat intake with the use of no-fat to low-fat food choices. The meal of broiled chicken, brown rice, steamed vegetables, tossed salad, and fat-free milk contains the less fat.

Answer to Question 2

A
Feedback:
Expectable thickening agents include arrowroot starch, cornstarch, tapioca starch, rice starch, and sweet rice flour. Individuals with celiac should avoid cracked germ, durum flour, and farina as they all contain gluten.
