A) 6 oz of chicken noodle soup, 6 saltine crackers with 2 tablespoons of butter, 3/4 cup of ice cream, and 12 oz of diet soda
B) 3 oz of hamburger, lettuce leaf, tomato slice, 1 slice of onion, 1 oz of processed cheese, 1 hamburger bun, 6 oz of French fries, and one 8-oz strawberry milkshake
C) 6 chicken nuggets, 1/4 cup of ketchup, 4 oz cup of applesauce, and one 4-inch slice of pumpkin pie with whipped cream
D) 3 oz of grilled swordfish, 1/2 cup of steamed broccoli, 1/2 cup of rice pilaf, and 4 oz of hot tea
D
Feedback:
The diet should be based on a 1500-calorie MyPlate plan, distributed throughout the day. The food choices should be nutrient-dense. The meal of swordfish, broccoli, rice pilaf, and hot tea meets these requirements the best. The other menus are high in empty calories, fats, and sugars.
