A client asks the nurse if it is possible for a vegetarian to consume too much fat. The nurse replies:
1. "Yes, because they often use too much oil or fat while cooking or sautéing vegetables.".
2. "No, because they use complementary proteins which are low in fat.".
3. "Yes, because they may consume non-meat or dairy foods that are high in fat.".
4. "No, because they tend to consume only plant-based, healthy fats.".

Rationale: Anyone, vegetarians included, can consume excess fat by eating products that contain fats. Processed foods, fried foods, and bakery products often contain large amounts of fat; when they are consumed in excess, an individual eats too much fat. The sautéing of vegetables requires minimal fat. Vegetarians may use complementary proteins, but that meal planning leads to minimal consumption of fat. Plant-based fats, as found in nuts, are healthier, but a vegetarian may consume too many processed foods and therefore too many fats.
