A client orders a restaurant pasta entrée with creamy sauce and a 20‑oz sugary soda. Using DGA strategies from the lesson, which practical plan best reduces excess calories, saturated fat, and added sugars while maintaining satisfaction?

• A. Order an additional side of garlic bread to increase satiety and keep the soda to maintain beverage enjoyment; avoid asking for any changes because restaurants cannot modify recipes.
• B. Consume the entire entrée and soda but skip dinner later in the day; this preserves enjoyment in the moment and balances calories over 24 hours.
• C. Ask for half the sauce or a tomato‑based sauce instead of cream, share the entrée or box half immediately, and swap the 20‑oz soda for water or unsweetened tea to markedly reduce added sugars and calories.
• D. Refuse any modifications and add extra butter to the pasta because increased fat will make the meal more filling and therefore healthier.

Answer: (C)
