Answer 1

The answer is Option B) The patient should increase the amount of lean meats and decrease the amount of oils in his or her diet.

Considering the actual percentage of diet, the patient should decrease the intake of carbs and oil, while at the same time, increase the amount of lean meat in the diet.

Lean meat would be a source of lipids and protein to the body which clearly is missing from patient's diet.
