Why can excess fried food disturb balance in a regular diet?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: It can unnecessarily increase fat and energy intake
Frying can substantially increase the energy density of food because the food absorbs oil. Frequent or excessive intake may raise total fat and calorie consumption, displace vegetables, pulses, and other nutrient-rich foods, and contribute to unhealthy weight gain or cardiometabolic risk. A balanced regular diet therefore uses fried foods sparingly and prefers varied cooking methods. Option A is correct.
