Question

demarcuss favorite food is spaghetti with tomato sauce, and he eats a big plate of it whenever he gets that chance. he has just learned more about nutrition and wants to use the myplate guidelines. how could he make sure his favorite meal is in line with these guidelines? (1 point) he could add meat and seasonings to the sauce. he could eat this meal twice a week. he could make sure that the plate is mostly pasta. he could eat less pasta and add fruits and vegetables.

Explanation:

MyPlate guidelines emphasize a balanced diet with fruits, vegetables, grains, protein, and dairy. Spaghetti (grain) with tomato sauce (vegetable - based) needs balance. Option 1: Adding meat/seasonings doesn't address balance (e.g., fruits/veg). Option 2: Frequency doesn't relate to the meal's composition. Option 3: Mostly pasta goes against variety/balance. Option 4: Eating less pasta (grain) and adding fruits/vegetables aligns with MyPlate’s focus on diverse food groups (grains, fruits, vegetables, protein, dairy) to balance the meal.

Answer:

D. He could eat less pasta and add fruits and vegetables.
