Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Discretionary kcalories are those that come from added sugars, solid fats, and alcoholic beverages that add calories but few nutrients to the diet. Jam is high in added sugars and would be considered a discretionary kcalorie food. Watermelon, raw carrots, Brussels sprouts, and green beans are all low in added sugars and solid fats and would not be considered part of one's discretionary kcalorie allowance.
