Which statement about junk food calories is accurate?

Junk food accounts for 18% of daily calories Junk food accounts for 61% of daily calories Junk food accounts for 90% Junk food is unrelated to calories

Correct Answer:

Junk food accounts for 61% of daily calories

Explanation:

The main idea being tested is that junk foods can contribute a large share of the daily calories you consume because they’re usually very energy-dense, with a lot of calories packed into relatively small portions due to added fats and sugars. That makes the statement about junk food accounting for about 61% of daily calories the most accurate reflection of how these foods often fit into a typical diet. A figure like 18% would understate how much of the daily energy intake comes from junk foods, 90% would overstate it, and saying junk food has no relation to calories is simply incorrect since every calorie comes from the foods you eat.
