Certified Dietary Manager (CDM) Practice Exam

When conducting a diet history, which question would be most appropriate to ask?

1. What is your favorite color?

2. How tall are you?

3. When do you usually eat?

4. Do you like to read?

The correct answer is: When do you usually eat?

Asking about a person's eating habits would provide the most useful information when conducting a diet history. Options A and D have no relevance to a diet history. Option B may provide some information, but not directly related to dietary habits. Option C, asking about when a person usually eats, would give insight into their meal times and frequency, which are important factors to consider when creating a diet plan.
