“Tused to have dinner in the campus dining hall, but not anymore. It’s too tempting to see everyone eating all that fattening food and then topping it off with a big dessert. My weight would balloon up in a week ifi ate like that! So instead, I stay in my dorm room and have a bowl of cereal with nonfat milk. The cereal box says it provides a full day’s supply of all the vitamins and minerals, so I know it’s nutritious. And when I eat cereal for dinner, it doesn’t matter if I didn’t eat all the right things earlier in the day!” What do you think of Liz’s “cereal suppers”? if the cereal provides 100% of the ori for all vitamins and minerals, then is Liz correct that it doesn’t matter what else she eats during the day? If not, why not? What factors besides the percentage of DRI does Liz need to consider?
