Question

1. which is the best example of a balanced meal?

a. pasta with butter and soda
b. grilled salmon, quinoa, and roasted broccoli
c. doughnuts and coffee
d. chips, soda, and a sandwich

Explanation:

A balanced meal should include a variety of food groups: protein, carbohydrates, and vegetables (or fruits) for nutrients. Option a has pasta (carbs) and butter (fat) with soda (sugar, no nutrition), lacking protein and veggies. Option b: grilled salmon (protein), quinoa (carbs), roasted broccoli (vegetables) – covers multiple food groups. Option c: doughnuts (sugar/fat) and coffee (no substantial nutrition), lacks protein, veggies, etc. Option d: chips (fat/salt), soda (sugar), sandwich (maybe carbs/protein but with unhealthy sides), not balanced. So b is the best.

Answer:

b. Grilled salmon, quinoa, and roasted broccoli
