THURSDAY'S DISH'IN NUTRITION- "Simply Testing Your Nutrition IQ."

Today...a simple, straight forward nutrition exam. How well have you been paying attention? There are 15 questions here in all. Because  ALL of the questions are done in a True or False format, I have a helpful little tip for you. These are just straight forward questions and answers that will give you a pretty good idea of your basic working knowledge of Nutrition. There are many "special exceptions to all rules".  I promise, I am not being tricky here. SO go with what is USUALLY the case, withstanding exceptions due to medical conditions and so on.The questions in this quiz have been covered in my posts so far, so let's see how well you've been paying attention...OH NO! You can only miss 4 and still pass!  I'd say good luck, but I don't believe in it....so instead, I'll say...ENJOY!

1)When it comes to loosing weight, whole grains, like whole wheat pasta are better than regular processed grains.  TRUE or FALSE?



2)Low Carbohydrate diets work better than diets containing more Carbs. TRUE or FALSE?


3)Protein has 4 Calories per gram. True or False


4)I know that if I just give up all sugars I’ll lose weight because every one knows that when you eat sugar it turns to fat.  TRUE or FALSE?

15 )When I lose weight I will gain it right back again. Most Everyone does becuase being heavy for many is actually a matter of genetics/ we have now learned through science. So when this is the case, for those people..they truly are powerless over their weight issues.
