Answer 1

"All of the choices are correct."

Potato chips, ice cream, and bacon can all be considered as providing "empty" calories according to MyPlate, which is the current nutrition guide published by the U.S. Department of Agriculture. "Empty" calories refer to calories from solid fats and/or added sugars that provide few or no nutrients. These foods are often high in calories but low in nutritional value, such as vitamins, minerals, fiber, and other beneficial components.
