If a person uses healthy oil but in a very high amount, what can be the problem?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Total energy intake may exceed the requirement
Even oils regarded as healthier because they contain more unsaturated fat are energy-dense and provide about 9 kilocalories per gram. Using too much can raise total energy intake beyond the body’s needs, especially when combined with other calorie-rich foods, and may promote weight gain. Quality matters for fat health, but quantity and total energy balance matter too; therefore A is correct.
