What is one of the most important rules to remember about healthy eating?

What is one of the most important rules to remember about healthy eating? A. Eat only low-fat, low-salt foods while training. B. Eat a variety of foods, with moderation in everything. C. Eat 10 or more servings of fruit or vegetables daily. D. Eliminate snack foods and chocolate.

None of them are quite right, but I would say C. (But if this is homework then B is probably the required answer so that’s what I’d say on an assignment.)

A is totally wrong because fat and salt are both important nutrients.

B is right except for the word "everything". You don’t want a moderate amount of trans fat, you want none. You don’t want a moderate amount of gmo’s, you want none.

C is a great suggestion and one that I follow, but we don’t absolutely need that many servings, there are other healthy foods besides fruits/veggies.

D is wrong because an occasional snack food (provided it doesn’t have gmo’s) won’t harm you. And chocolate can actually be a healthy food depending on how dark it is.
