    ANSWER SHEET
    1 FALSE. Keeping fat to less than 1/3 of your daily total calories doesn’t mean every single food
    must be low in fat. You can balance higher fat and lower fat selections over the course of one
    or a few days and still have a healthy eating pattern.

    2 (A) But ... all carbohydrates are not equal. Choose complex
    carbohydrates like whole grain bread, cereal or pasta, brown rice, fruits
    and vegetables, legumes or beans.

    3 FALSE. Lean red meat is a good source of iron, zinc and several other
    important nutrients that are well absorbed and easily used by the body. Enjoy lean red meat -
    and all foods - in moderation.

    4 (D) Vegetables, like fruits, are naturally low in fat and provide many essential nutrients
    (vitamins, minerals and fiber) that are important for good health. Aim for 3-5 vegetable
    servings per day.

    5 (A) Use the “deck of cards” guideline to measure the recommended 2-3
    ounce serving of lean cooked meat, fish or poultry.

    6 TRUE. Healthy snacking can help you control your hunger. Nutritious
    choices include low fat cheese & crackers, a piece of fresh fruit, cut-up raw veggies & low fat
    yogurt dip, or a bowl of cereal with skim milk.

    7 (B) The definitions used on food labels are set by the FDA for food manufacturers to follow.
    Reduced fat does NOT mean no calories! To control your calorie intake, choose foods lower in
    total fat and limit your portion size.

    8 FALSE. Spread Middle Eastern hummus (made of chick peas) on pita bread or have lentil, split
    pea or bean soup with a whole grain roll for lunch. Try Indian dal (made of split peas or lentils)
    as a side dish. Enjoy Mexican bean burritos or meatless chili for dinner.

    Milk
    9 FALSE. Choose low or reduced fat dairy products (milk, yogurt and cheese)
    as good dietary sources of calcium. Don’t forget to EXERCISE! While
    bones need calcium as building blocks, they also need to
    be “stressed” to best use the available calcium.

    10 FALSE. Both fats have the same number of calories.


    Try a reduced fat spread (margarine) that has no “trans fat”, or use
    whipped butter to make portion control easier. Monosaturated fats like
    canola, peanut or olive oil are your best bets. Use all fats or oils sparingly.
