Which food combination provides 60 grams of carbohydrates?

The combination of 1 English muffin, 1 cup of skim milk, and 1/2 cup of apple juice provides the correct amount of carbohydrates needed for this question. To break it down:

• An English muffin typically contains about 25-30 grams of carbohydrates.

• A cup of skim milk offers around 12 grams of carbohydrates from lactose.

• A 1/2 cup of apple juice provides approximately 15 grams of carbohydrates.

When you add these together, the total comes to about 52-57 grams of carbohydrates, which is close to the target of 60 grams, adjusting slightly based on the size and brand of the products used.

This food combination emphasizes items that are standard sources of carbohydrates, such as the English muffin and apple juice, while still incorporating other nutrients from the milk, making it a balanced option.

The other combinations either provide less carbohydrate content or do not align closely with the target:

• The first option includes a banana and yogurt, which might not add up to 60 grams when calculated with typical serving sizes.

• Two cups of cooked rice usually provides a higher carbohydrate content, typically around 90-100 grams combined, exceeding the target.

• Four ounces of pasta, combined with sauce, may deliver
