Explanation:
Chicken is a popular, low-fat food that provides an impressive amount of high-quality protein in just one serving. The breast is the leanest part of a chicken. A 3-ounce (85-grams) serving of roasted, skinless chicken breast contains only 3 grams of fat but provides 26 grams of protein (47).
Pasta is a fat-free, low sodium food that can fit right in with a weight loss or management plan. One cup of cooked pasta contains just 200 calories, in addition to valuable vitamins and minerals.
Sweets like candy, soft drinks, syrups, jams, and jellies are made mostly of sugars. Most of these foods do not contain many vitamins or minerals. So they are called "empty calorie" foods. Fats, oils and sweets are not bad foods.
