On what basis is equivalence maintained in a food exchange list?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Nutrient value and portion size
A food exchange list groups foods that can substitute for one another in a planned meal because a specified portion provides approximately comparable amounts of a key nutrient, energy, or both. The exchange depends on the food group, nutrient composition, and measured portion size, not merely on the food’s name, colour, or place of purchase.
