Your roommate wants to lose weight so he decides he will eat only salads for dinner each night. Explain how this attempt may potentially backfire by discussing the different types of salads available, their calorie and nutrient content as well as the ability for salads alone to nourish or satiate an individual.
What will be an ideal response?
See section 15-2. Answer should include a discussion about high fat condiments and salad dressings and the ability for some main course salads to contain very large amounts of calories. Furthermore, salads may not satisfy all nutrient needs and may not satiate the individual. Other salads may be too low in calories and not meet individual nutrient needs.
