Question 1 20 total marks A dietitian provides a video lecture for nursing students focusing on the philosophy of nutrition and the practical application of the 80/20 rule. In the lecture, the dietitian contrasts the concepts of "eating to live" versus "living to eat." She emphasizes that the majority of caloric intake should consist of high-quality, nutrient-dense foods like chicken, steak, yogurt, and sandwiches, while limiting empty calories. One student, Courtney, reflects on her habits, estimating that her intake of empty calories (primarily snacks and sweets) ranges between 15% and 20% daily. She notes that consuming these empty calories often results in specific physiological and cognitive outcomes, such as feeling exhausted and losing focus shortly after consumption. A Based on the dietitian's lecture, what is the specific percentage ratio recommended for balancing healthy meals with occasional indulgences? A 50/50 ratio B 70/30 ratio C 90/10 ratio D 80/20 ratio
