Part   B

Here   is a sample one-day menu for Mr. Brown. His doctor just told him to cut   down on added sugars in addition to increasing his fiber intake.   He hopes to meet with a dietitian next week, but in the meantime needs some   help making these changes. List five suggestions for Mr. Brown’s diet. Make   sure to provide only changes that address the meal planning goals mentioned   above. Tell him which food(s) you would have him omit and how you would   replace these items. You may also change portion sizes. Highlight (yellow   only, please) or bold the item you are changing. Then write the change next   to that. You may make more than five changes, but if you do so, you will only   receive full credit when all changes correctly match the assigned directions.
