Accepted Answer

White bread is categorized under carbohydrate-containing foods, specifically within grains and starches, and is represented by a yellow triangle in the Beyond the Basics food groups. This classification is due to its primary composition of carbohydrates and its role as a staple grain-based food.

Accepted Answer

The purpose of the Beyond the Basics meal planning tool is to help primarily adults with type-2-diabetes control blood glucose levels. Option B and C are not accurate descriptions of the tool's purpose.

The method being described is carbohydrate counting, where an individual keeps track of the total amount of carbohydrates consumed throughout the day to help maintain blood glucose levels. This can be particularly important for individuals with diabetes or other conditions affecting blood sugar control. Carbohydrate replacement, glycemic loading, and carbohydrate refinement are not accurate descriptions of this method.

Accepted Answer

The Beyond the Basics poster divides food into high carbohydrate foods and low carbohydrate foods, which is a more nuanced and helpful approach to understanding the nutritional content of food than simply looking at its calorie or sugar content.

Accepted Answer

The poster subdivides low carbohydrate foods into three groups including vegetables, meat & alternatives, and fats. Based on this subdivision, the best choice(s) would be those foods that fall within these three groups and have the lowest amount of carbohydrates. Therefore, choices A, B, and D are not the best options as they include other food groups that may not fit within the low carbohydrate classification.

The yellow triangle on the French Fries indicates that it is a food to choose less often because it is high in fat. Therefore, the best choice would be to choose a different food that is not marked with a yellow triangle and is lower in fat.

Question 10

Which of the following meat & alternative choices would have a yellow triangle?&#10;A)Regular ground meat&#10;B)Egg&#10;C)Fish&#10;D)Legumes
