Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Most foods contain mixtures of the three energy nutrients (carbohydrates, fats, and proteins), but one or two may predominate. The specific proportion of each nutrient in a food can vary widely. It is rare for a food to contain only one of the three energy nutrients (option A), and it is not common for foods to contain equal amounts of all three (option B). While some foods may contain only two of the three energy nutrients (option D and E), this is not true of most foods.
