Why may a dietitian tell a patient measured quantities?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: To ensure correct portions according to energy and nutrient requirements
Measured quantities help a dietitian control portion size and provide energy, protein, carbohydrate, fat, fluids, or other nutrients according to the patient's needs. Accurate portions can prevent both inadequate and excessive intake and may be important in conditions such as diabetes, kidney disease, or weight-related problems. They do not replace prescribed medicines or change the colour or name of food.
