Answer;

-The food would be grouped on MyPlate based on key nutrients content in it. The kilocalories from added sugar and solid fat would count toward empty kilocalories.

Explanation;

-MyPlate is meant to provide very general guidelines. For each meal, divide the plate into approximately four quadrants and fill each with lean meats, beans or nuts, grains, fruits and vegetables.

-Added sugars are sugars and syrups that are added to foods or beverages when they are processed or prepared. To build a healthy eating style and stay within your calorie needs, choose foods and beverages with less added sugars.
