Adam and his friend, Johanna, go out for lunch. Which of the following would be the best option for Adam as he tries to reduce his saturated and trans fat intake?

Solution

PART A:

c). High trans fat intake

Intake of high trans fats and saturated fats increase the LDL cholesterol levels, which is a risk factor for cardiovascular diseases.

PART B:

b). Drink skim milk rather than whole milk.

c). Eat plain oatmeal with fresh fruit rather than pancakes.

Skipping breakfast cannot help to reduce LDL levels, instead nutritious balanced diet with less or no saturated and trans fats can be helpful.

PART C:

b). turkey and hummus in a whole-wheat wrap ----> Contains red meat and less fat, which is suitable to Adam. Adam must avoid fried foods and cheese.
