1. which item did you find to be the healthiest? what specific nutrients or qualities contributed to this assessment?
2. were there any surprising ingredients or nutritional facts in any of the food labels? explain why.
3. look at the movement before someone has three items. explain what...

Explanation:

To answer the questions related to this nutritional information table, we analyze each food item's nutrients:

1. Healthiest Item Analysis:

• Doritos: 150 calories, 2g saturated fat, 1g protein, 160mg sodium, -1g (likely a typo, maybe 1g) carbs?
• Apple: 95 calories, 0g fat (saturated/trans), 0mg cholesterol, natural sugars, fiber, vitamins.
• Gatorade: 140 calories, 0g fat, 19mg sodium (maybe typo, -19 is unclear), 21g carbs (sugar).

The apple is healthiest: low calories, no fat/cholesterol, provides fiber, vitamins (e.g., Vitamin C), and natural sugars (vs. Doritos’ saturated fat/sodium, Gatorade’s added sugars).

2. Surprising Ingredients/Nutrients:

• Doritos: High sodium (160mg) and saturated fat (2g) for a small serving (11 chips) is surprising, as snacks often hide high salt/fat.
• Gatorade: High carb (21g, likely sugar) for hydration drink; “satured fat” (typo, saturated) being 0g is good, but sugar content stands out.

3. Measurement Before Analysis:

We need to measure serving size accuracy (e.g., weigh 11 Doritos, check apple size, measure Gatorade volume) to ensure nutritional values match real portions. Inaccurate serving sizes skew nutrient intake calculations (e.g., eating more than 11 chips means more calories/fat/sodium).

The apple is healthiest. It has the lowest calories (95), no fat (saturated/trans), no cholesterol, and provides natural nutrients (fiber, vitamins) unlike Doritos (high fat/sodium) or Gatorade (high added sugars).
