Vegetarians should eat a variety of protein-rich foods, such as beans, lentils, peas, nuts, seeds, soy, eggs, and dairy products if included in their diet.

Explain the difference between the columns commonly found on nutrition labels called "As Packaged" and "As Prepared." Why do some products have both and others only have "As Packaged"?
“As Packaged” lists the nutrition in the product as it is sold. “As Prepared” lists the nutrition after the product is prepared according to the directions, including ingredients that are added. A product may have both columns when preparation changes its nutritional content. Products that are ready to eat or do not require added ingredients may only have an “As Packaged” column.
Explain why the myth that eating late at night causes weight gain is so popular and the steps a person can take to eat responsibly late at night.
The myth is popular because late-night eating is often associated with high-calorie snacks, eating out of boredom, and being less active afterward. However, weight gain is mainly related to overall calorie intake and expenditure, not simply the time someone eats. To eat responsibly late at night, a person can make sure they are genuinely hungry, choose a small nutritious snack, keep portions moderate, and avoid eating directly from large packages or choosing high-calorie foods.
