2. Health maintenance plans center on those practices that prevent disease, including limiting refined sugar and high-fat intake such as soft drinks and fried foods in order to maintain weight at the recommended level.
3. There is no issue with the adolescent having meat, a vegetable, and rice for dinner.
4. Snacking on fruit is healthy, and so requires no additional assessment.
