Question

Create a Breakfast Low in Saturated Fat The biggest sources of saturated fat in the American diet are animal foods: cheese, eggs, beef, pork, whole milk, and dairy desserts such as ice cream. Skinless poultry and fish are low in saturated fat. If you eat 2,000 calories a day, you should limit your saturated fat intake to 22 grams. For this activity, create a breakfast meal with 5 grams or less of saturated fat. Your breakfast should also fill in part of at least 4 MyPlate groups.

Answer 1

ANSWER:-

1. BREAKFAST LOW IN SATURATED FAT

1. A breakfast meal should include an average calorie intake of 300 - 400 calories. On that basis, only 5 gram (9×5= 45 calories) of unsaturated fats should be included.
2. The four MyPlate groups should include Grains, Fruits, Dairy, Vegetables.
3. Contents and calories
   1. Wild rice ( 1 cup equivalent to 160 gms ) = 166 calories. (There is no saturated fat and hence fats can be limited)
   2. Apple ( 1 cup chopped corresponds to 109 gms ) = 57 calories. ( Does not contain saturated fat however unsaturated fats correspond to 0.3 gms )
   3. Whole milk ( 1 cup corresponds to 246 gms ) = 124 calories. ( Contains around 1.9 gms to 2 gms of saturated fats in 1 cup of milk. This corresponds to around 17.1 calories )
   4. ​​​​​Carrot ( 1 cup ) = 52 calories. ( No saturated fat )
4. Total calorie intake accounts to around 399 calories including 1.9 gram of saturated fat content as per the conditions stated to have less than 5 gms saturated fat.
