Question

multiple choice question
overnutrition may result from ______.

prolonged consumption of low - calorie foods
chronically expending more calories than one consumes
prolonged consumption of more nutrients than the body needs

Explanation:

Overnutrition is defined as a condition where the body receives more nutrients (including calories) than it requires for normal function over an extended period. The first option is incorrect because low-calorie foods would not lead to overnutrition. The second option describes a calorie deficit, which leads to undernutrition or weight loss, not overnutrition. Only the third option matches the definition of overnutrition.

Answer:

prolonged consumption of more nutrients than the body needs
