Unit 3: You Are What You Eat: Healthy Meal Planning

Question 16 • Nutrition and Wellness (IS)

Logan loves to order beef and broccoli from his local takeout restaurant. His doctor tells him that usually takeout meals like that contain more sodium than he needs during the day. Without giving up his favorite dish, what is the BEST way for Logan to reduce his salt intake?

Answer
A
Ask the restaurant to redo the recipe using less salt.
B
Drink extra water along with the meal to flush out salt.
C
Learn how to make the dish himself at home.
D
Try to order the dish only every other day

Explanation

Making beef and broccoli at home lets Logan control how much salt and salty ingredients go into the dish while still enjoying it. Asking the restaurant to change its recipe may not work, and drinking extra water does not remove the sodium from the meal. Ordering it less often can reduce sodium overall, but cooking it himself is the best way to keep the dish and directly control its salt content.
