Answer to Question 1

D
The Exchange Lists for Meal Planning groups foods according to their kcal, carbohydrate, protein, and fat content and lists serving sizes that contain specific amounts of each of these. Therefore, this guide can help clients monitor their intake. The National Fruit and Vegetable Program simply encourages increased intake of fruits and vegetables. The Dietary Guidelines for Americans give general advice but do not translate this into specific amounts of foods. MyPyramid would help patients achieve healthy intakes of kcals, carbohydrate, protein, and fat, but would not be specific enough for them to monitor their intake closely.

Answer to Question 2

B
