| 1. You are at a salad bar, and you are faced with salad dressing choices. What would be the heart healthy dressing choice? |
| |
|
| Correct answer: [D] The olive oil is a monounsaturated fat and does not contribute to heart disease. Thousand Island and ranch generally are made with saturated fats, and anything with the word-“creamy” may also contain saturated fat. |
|
| |
| 2. What cut of meat would you choose at the butcher counter that is lower in saturated fat? |
| |
|
| Correct answer: [C] The sirloin is the leanest cut. The “loin” is the working muscle of the animal and contains the least amount of fat. The chicken would be lean if it were skinless. The saturated fat is contained in the skin. |

| 3. The office has catered a buffet breakfast and you want to make a balanced meal that is also heart healthy. What would you put on your plate? |
| |
|
| Correct answer: [B] This plate contains 3 different food groups and is the only plate that contains an excellent source of protein (egg). Even though eggs have gotten a bad wrap for being full of cholesterol, the American Heart Association allows for 3-4 yolks per week. The other choices are all carbohydrate and the croissant is approximately 90% saturated fat. |
