Question

which food type should make up more than 10 percent of a persons daily calorie intake?
sugars
trans fats
saturated fats
proteins

Explanation:

To determine the correct answer, we analyze each option based on nutritional guidelines:

• Sugars: Dietary guidelines recommend that added sugars make up less than 10% of daily calorie intake. So this is incorrect.
• Trans fats: Trans fats should be minimized or avoided entirely, as they have negative health effects. They should not make up more than 10% (or any significant portion) of daily calorie intake. Incorrect.
• Saturated fats: Guidelines suggest that saturated fats should make up less than 10% of daily calorie intake. Incorrect.
• Proteins: Protein is an essential macronutrient. Depending on individual needs (e.g., for athletes, those recovering from illness, or general health), protein intake can be more than 10% of daily calorie intake. This aligns with nutritional recommendations for a balanced diet.

Answer:

D. proteins
