Question

Use the information about nutrition on page 173 to explain how linear equations can be used in nutrition. Explain how you could use the Nutrition Information labels on packages to limit your fat intake.

Answer 1

Answer: By looking at several aspects of the Nutrition Information, such as the Serving Size, Total Calories and the Nutrition Terms, you can limit how much fat your body takes in. For instance, looking at the serving size is the first thing you should do. By looking at the serving size, you can determine how much calories, vitamins, cholesterol, etc you will take in. The next step is to check the total amount of calories the food/drink has. To truly limit your fat intake, you want to pay attention how much calories the food is and compare it to how much you ate/drank today. Lastly make sure you pay attention on how much cholesterol and saturated fat to minimize your fat intake.
