Answer to Question 1

B
Fruits and vegetables displace high-fat foods from the diet because they are high in fiber and water; they cause satiety so that clients have less desire for high-fat foods. Fruits and vegetables are not and do not contain natural appetite suppressants and do not hinder absorption of fat from foods. They are rich in antioxidants and phytochemicals, but increased intake of these substances does not affect fat intake.

Answer to Question 2

A, B, F
Feedback:
One choice provides 15 g of carbohydrate. The potatoes, dried apricots, and peas represent one choice each. Cereals should be limited to 1/2 cup each, fresh fruit should be limited to 1/2 cup, and one slice of bread is one choice.
