Nutrition and Dietary Considerations Practice Test

In the MyPlate pattern, fiber comes from plant-based foods, especially fruits, vegetables, and whole grains, because these foods supply the indigestible carbohydrates that fiber is. Calcium, meanwhile, is provided mainly by dairy products and by fortified non-dairy alternatives like fortified plant-based milks, which are typically how people meet calcium needs in this pattern. This pairing reflects typical dietary sources: plant foods for fiber, dairy or fortified beverages for calcium. The other ideas don’t fit because meats don’t offer meaningful fiber, grains aren’t the main calcium source, and dairy isn’t a fiber source while fats or beverages aren’t the primary calcium sources.
