Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Whole-grain bread, poultry, and skim milk are the best choice as they are nutrient-dense foods with a high amount of essential vitamins and minerals that are necessary for good health. Lamb, ice cream, pre-sweetened cereal, cottage cheese, sweet potatoes, ham, dried apples, legumes, and pancakes are either high in saturated fat, added sugars, or low in nutrients. Legumes, lamb, and dried apples are also nutrient-dense foods, but they may not provide a balanced variety of essential nutrients necessary for optimal health.
