Answer is B. Carefully select the food s rich in nutrients but low in calories.

Explanation:

Myplate is a kind of chart showing the amount of food to put in plate in order to stay healthy.

In Margaret situation, the best thing for her is to start selecting food items that are low in calories, and at the same time rich in nutrients. Because if she does not put the nutrients level in consideration, her health will be severely affected.

Some of the examples of foods that are low in calories and rich in nutrients are fish, egg, oats, cabbage, popcorns, brocolli and fruits like apple and berries.
