Question

what does planning meals ahead help avoid?
a. making impulsive, unhealthy food choices.
b. overeating healthy foods.
c. buying fruits and vegetables.
d. cooking too much food.

Explanation:

Meal planning involves pre - deciding what to eat. When we don't plan, we may make quick, unplanned (impulsive) choices that are often unhealthy, like grabbing fast food. Option b is incorrect because overeating healthy foods is not a typical result of not planning meals (and planning doesn't aim to avoid overeating healthy foods). Option c is wrong as buying fruits and vegetables is a positive action, and meal planning would likely include or encourage this, not avoid it. Option d, cooking too much food, is more related to portion control during cooking rather than meal planning's main benefit of avoiding bad food choices. So planning meals ahead helps avoid making impulsive, unhealthy food choices.

Answer:

a. Making impulsive, unhealthy food choices.
