What should the CDM recommend to a client about to go home whose food preferences are fast foods?

  1. Switch to a liquid diet

  2. Help the client choose healthy foods from a fast food menu

  3. Have the client avoid all fast food restaurants

  4. Provide high-calorie snacks only

The correct answer is: Help the client choose healthy foods from a fast food menu

As a Certified Dietary Manager (CDM), recommending the client to choose healthy foods from a fast food menu would be the most appropriate option in this scenario. Completely avoiding fast food restaurants may not be a realistic or sustainable solution for the client, especially if they have a strong preference for fast foods. By helping the client make healthier choices from a fast food menu, you can work with them to find options that align with their preferences while still promoting a balanced and nutritious diet. This approach encourages moderation and empowers the client to make healthier choices even when dining out.
