Question

according to the usda eating patterns, one ounce of protein foods is equal to all of the following except: a. 1 oz. cooked fish. b. 1 cup cooked legumes. c. 1 tbs peanut butter. d. 1 egg. e. ½ oz nuts.

Explanation:

USDA Eating Patterns define 1 ounce-equivalent of protein foods: 1 oz cooked fish, 1 tbsp peanut butter, 1 egg, and ½ oz nuts each count as 1 oz-equivalent. However, 1 cup of cooked legumes equals 2 oz-equivalents of protein foods, not 1.

Answer:

b. 1 cup cooked legumes.
