Why should fat be consumed in a limited amount?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Because excess fat can increase energy intake
Fat is an essential nutrient and supplies concentrated energy, helps absorb fat-soluble vitamins, and supports cell functions. However, each gram of fat provides more energy than carbohydrates or proteins. Regularly eating excessive fatty foods can therefore increase total energy intake and contribute to overweight or an unbalanced diet. The correct answer is B because moderation helps maintain energy balance; it does not mean that fat must be completely removed.
