The correct answers are A. The protein serving is too large; C. Grains are not represented and D.The vegetable serving should be larger.
Explanation:
An ideal meal should always include a protein, grains and vegetables or fruit. Additionally, most nutritionists recommend half of the plate contains vegetables or fruit, especially leafy green vegetables; one-quarter of the plate should contain grains, for example, bread, rice or pasta, and the remaining quarter should be protein, for example, chicken, beef or fish.
The meal of the image does not follow these recommendations because the plate contains mainly chicken breast (protein) that should be only one-quarter of the plate, which means the protein serving is too large. Also, there are no grains at all and therefore this element is not represented. Besides this, the vegetable serving is too small as it should be half of the plate and in the image there portion is not even a quarter of the plate.
