Why is it important to control oil quantity in food?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: To keep fat and energy intake balanced
Oils are concentrated sources of energy, and excessive use can raise total fat and calorie intake beyond the body’s needs. Using a suitable amount helps maintain energy balance while still supplying essential fatty acids and allowing food to remain palatable. Oil control does not mean eliminating all fat; therefore, option A is correct.
