Answer to Question 1

C
Infants need dietary fat and cholesterol for formation of brain and nerve tissue. Fat makes an important contribution to energy stores, but energy can be obtained from carbohydrate and pro-tein. Bone formation is not dependent on dietary intake of fat and cholesterol.

Answer to Question 2

B, D
Feedback:
Mixing cream cheese with butter and snacking on nuts are two suggestions for increasing one's calorie intake. Coating meat with milk, putting peanut butter on apples, and choosing desserts made with eggs and/or milk will increase the protein content.
