Which term refers to the practice of changing eating habits for health or preference?

• A. Diets
• B. Dietetics
• C. Dietitians
• D. Eating Habits

Answer: (B)

The idea here is recognizing the term that names the field and practice of planning and supervising food choices for health or personal preference. Dietetics is the science and professional practice of nutrition, including assessing needs, designing appropriate meals, and guiding people to make healthier or suited-to-preference eating choices. That makes it the best fit for describing the act of changing eating habits in a structured way. In contrast, a diet is a specific eating plan, dieting is the act of following such a plan, dietitians are the professionals who apply dietetics, and eating habits refer to typical patterns rather than the formal practice.
