You have decided to lose a few pounds before the semester ends and are watching your diet. today you are considering using a particular food to make a sandwich. you check the food label and find that the serving size is 2 oz. that amount contains 50 calories, 1 gm of total fat (2% dv), 1 gm of total carbohydrate (2% dv), no saturated fat, trans fat, or polyunsaturated fat, 25 mg of cholesterol, and 11 g of protein (20% dv). it also contains several vitamins but is lacking in many as well. assuming a 1,500 calorie diet, is this something that would work for your diet? why or why not?

explanation:

two years ago, when picking flowers in the mountains back of yosemite valley, i found a book. it was blotted and storm-beaten; all of its outer pages were mealy and crumbly. the paper seemed to dissolve like the snow beneath which it had been buried, however; many of the inner pages were well preserved. and although all were more or less stained and torn, whole chapters were easily readable. this is the condition of the great open book of yosemite glaciers today; its granite pages have been torn and blurred by the same storms that wasted the castaway book.two years ago, when picking flowers in the mountains back of yosemite valley; i found a book. it was blotted and storm-beaten, all of its outer pages were mealy and crumbly. the paper seemed to dissolve like the snow beneath which it had been buried, however, many of the inner pages were well preserved. and although all were more or less stained and torn; whole chapters were easily readable. this is the condition of the great open book of yosemite glaciers today, its granite pages have been torn and blurred by the same storms that wasted the castaway book.
