The best course of action to provide adequate amounts of vitamins and minerals is to
a. promote weight loss.
b. eat a variety of foods.
c. eat at least 3 meals per day.
d. consume a high-fiber, low-fat diet.
B
Including a variety of foods increases the likelihood of obtaining adequate amounts of vitamins and minerals. Loss of weight will not contribute to adequate nutrient intake. Eating at least 3 meals per day may help increase nutrient intake to some extent, but they could still be meals that provide a limited assortment of foods. Similarly, a high-fiber, low-fat diet could consist of foods that are relatively low in vitamins and minerals.
