Which meal demonstrates understanding of a low-sodium diet?

• A. Skim milk, turkey salad, roll, vanilla ice cream
• B. Whole milk, chicken salad, roll, banana
• C. 2% milk, tuna salad, crackers, fruit cup
• D. Nonfat yogurt, turkey sandwich, breadstick, apple

Answer: (A)

Understanding a low-sodium approach means choosing foods with little added salt and relying on naturally lower-sodium items. Skim milk is naturally low in sodium, and vanilla ice cream also carries only modest sodium. If the turkey salad is prepared with low-sodium turkey and minimal added salt, this combination stays relatively light on sodium. The roll may add some salt, but it’s typically still lower in overall sodium than meals that depend on salty processed components.

Other options tend to include high-sodium staples like tuna or chicken salads with canned or heavily salted ingredients and salty crackers or breadsticks, which push the meal’s total sodium higher. So, this particular meal reflects careful choice toward lower-sodium foods while keeping a balanced plate.
