D. Determine how much fat is in all of his favorite foods in a food diary.

Answer 2

The easiest way for Nikko to reduce his saturated fat intake is to choose increase his consumption of fish and lean meat. Here option A is correct.

Fish, especially fatty fish like salmon, are rich in omega-3 fatty acids, which are heart-healthy fats. Lean meats, such as skinless poultry and lean cuts of beef or pork, contain less saturated fat compared to their fattier counterparts.

By incorporating these protein sources into his diet, Nikko can maintain a balanced and nutritious meal plan while minimizing saturated fat intake.

Option B, eliminating all beef, pork, chicken, and turkey, may be too restrictive and could lead to nutritional imbalances if not properly planned.

Option C suggests using butter and olive oil but avoiding partially hydrogenated fats, which is a step in the right direction, but increasing fish and lean meat consumption is a more direct approach to reducing saturated fat intake. Here option A is correct.
