What is the expert benefit of food exchange in food-group-based diet planning?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Allowing nutrient control while keeping variety
A food-exchange system groups foods with broadly similar nutrient values and permits one item to replace another in a planned quantity. This gives flexibility, variety and better cultural acceptability while helping control energy, carbohydrate or other nutrients. Exchanges must still be calculated appropriately for the person’s clinical requirements.
