Question

a dietician asks a patient about the food that the patient eats and makes the table below to summarize the results.
based on the table, what advice do you think that the dietician will give the patient?
the patient should decrease the amount of lean meats (proteins) and increase the amount of oils in his or her diet.
the patient should decrease the amount of rice and pasta and increase the amount of oils in his or her diet.

Explanation:

Rice and pasta are high - carbohydrate foods. The patient's actual carbohydrate intake (70%) is above the suggested range (45 - 65%). Oils are a source of lipids. The patient's actual lipid intake (5%) is below the suggested range (20 - 35%). So, decreasing high - carbohydrate foods (rice and pasta) and increasing lipids (oils) would bring the diet closer to the suggested percentages.

Answer:

The patient should decrease the amount of rice and pasta and increase the amount of oils in his or her diet.
