Liam wants to choose a lunch that is high in vitamins, minerals, and protein and low in fats and carbohydrates. Which lunch should he choose?

Question

Group of answer choices

fried fish, macaroni and cheese, and a soda

steamed broccoli and carrots, grilled salmon, an apple, and low-fat milk

pasta salad, fried hamburger patty, fruit cobbler, and water

carrot and celery sticks with ranch dressing, fruit salad, and cranberry juice

Answer 1

Liam should choose the option that includes "steamed broccoli and carrots, grilled salmon, an apple, and low-fat milk."

This option is high in vitamins and minerals from the vegetables and fruit, provides protein from the grilled salmon, and is lower in fats and carbohydrates compared to the other choices. The other options either include fried foods, high-carb sides, or sugary drinks, which do not fit Liam's criteria.
