What can a diet become if it has too much oil and few vegetables?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: High in energy and low in protective nutrients
Oil is energy-dense, so using too much can raise the calorie content of a meal without supplying many vitamins, minerals, or dietary fibre. Vegetables provide protective nutrients such as vitamin C, folate, carotenoids, minerals, and fibre; eating few vegetables reduces these contributions. Thus, the overall diet may become energy-rich but poor in protective nutrients. Option A is the only accurate answer.
