A food bank is creating a plan to distribute meals that are designed based on the US government’s Dietary Guidelines. The food bank’s goal is to provide meals that meet those guidelines for men and women. The ideal is a variety of single meals, each of which fulfills one-third of the government’s total daily guidelines in five nutritional categories: protein, carbohydrates, dietary fiber, fat, and calories. The food bank defines a major meal as a meal that meets the government's Dietary Guidelines. Additionally, the meals are designed to incorporate a number of foods to meet each of the nutrient requirements while also being appealing and varied.
This meal provides more than one-half of the Dietary Guidelines’s daily recommended protein for a man.: True
This meal provides more than one-third of the Dietary Guidelines’s daily recommended calories for a woman but fewer than one-third of the daily recommended calories for a man.: True
This meal fits the food bank’s definition of a major meal for either a man or a woman.: False

Question #1.
1. The meal we're considering is: white fish, baked potato, butter, mixed salad with dressing, whole wheat bread, and raw apple.
2. This meal provides more than one-half of the Dietary Guidelines’s daily recommended protein for a man. The meal has 26 + 4 + 0 + 2 + 7 + 0 = 39 grams of protein. Half of what men are recommended is \(\frac{1}{2} * 56 = 28\) grams. 39 > 28. So, this statement is true.
3. This meal provides more than one-third of the Dietary Guidelines’s daily recommended calories for a woman but fewer than one-third of the daily recommended calories for a man. The meal has 120 + 160 + 100 + 70 + 140 + 70 = 660 calories. A third of what women and men are recommended is \(\frac{1}{3} * 1900 \approx 633.3\) grams and \(\frac{1}{3} * 2300 = 766.7\) grams, respectively. 633.3 < 660 < 766.7. So, this statement is true.
4. This meal fits the food bank’s definition of a major meal for either a man or a woman. As shown earlier, this meal does not have enough calories to match the one-third guideline for men. So, this statement is false.
Question #2.
1. Let's calculate the total amount of dietary fiber in each of these meals:
- Lean meat, whole wheat pasta, mixed salad with dressing, orange. 0 + 6 + 2 + 3 = 11 grams.
- Lean meat, baked potato, butter, mixed vegetables, orange. 0 + 4 + 0 + 8 + 3= 15 grams.
- Lean poultry, baked potato, margarine, cooked peas, whole wheat bread, apple. 0 + 4 + 0 + 9 + 3 + 3 = 19 grams.
- Tilapia fish, baked potato, butter, mixed vegetables, whole wheat bread, apple. 0 + 4 + 0 + 8 + 3 + 3 = 18 grams.
- White fish, whole wheat pasta, mixed salad with dressing, whole wheat bread, orange. 0 + 6 + 2 + 3 + 3 = 14 grams.
2. This means that the third meal had the most dietary fiber: lean poultry, baked potato, margarine, cooked peas, whole wheat bread, apple.
Question #3.
1. The meal we're considering is: lean meat, whole wheat pasta, and mixed vegetables.
2. More than half of the meal’s total calories come from whole wheat pasta. The percentage of calories that come from whole wheat pasta is equal to \(\frac{255}{180 + 255 + 120} * 100\% \approx 45.9\% < 50\%\). So, this statement is false.
3. Adding a standard portion of boiled eggs would increase the total protein content of the meal by more than 20%. This would cause a change in percent equivalent to \(\frac{12}{32 + 10 + 6} * 100\% = 25\% > 20\%\). So, this statement is true.
4. If the whole wheat pasta were removed and replaced with one standard portion each of whole wheat bread and potatoes, the total carbohydrate content of the meal would be increased. Here we would have to compare the carbohydrate amounts in whole wheat pasta with whole wheat bread and potatoes. That is the same as comparing 56 with 24 + 36, or 56 < 60. So, this statement is true.
1. The meal we're considering is: white fish, baked potato, butter, mixed salad with dressing, whole wheat bread, and raw apple.
2. This meal provides more than one-half of the Dietary Guidelines’s daily recommended protein for a man. The meal has 26 + 4 + 0 + 2 + 7 + 0 = 39 grams of protein. Half of what men are recommended is \(\frac{1}{2} * 56 = 28\) grams. 39 > 28. So, this statement is true.

For 3.2 in adding eggs to the meal, wouldnt the denominator also change i.e., 12/ 32+10+6+12 = 12/60 =20%
And therefore false
And therefore false
