The best way to encourage children to consume adequate nutrients with less than 30% of kcals from fat is to
a. avoid fast food and fried foods.
b. follow a vegan eating pattern.
c. use low-fat foods and take a vita-min/mineral supplement.
d. include plenty of fruits, vegetables, and whole grains.
D
Children should be provided with a diet that includes plenty of fruits, vegetables, and whole grains to help them consume adequate nutrients with less than 30% of kcals from fat. It is not necessary to completely avoid fat food and fried foods, although they should be eaten in moderation. A vegan eating pattern may not provide adequate amounts of iron, zinc, vitamin B12, and other important nutrients found in lean meats and low-fat dairy products. Low-fat processed food products can help limit fat intake, but a vitamin/mineral supplement does not compensate for omitting fruits, vegetables, and whole grains.
