Kasey Goins · Accepted Answer

Final Answer : D, Explanation :  While the candy bar might have fewer calories, it is not a nutritious breakfast option and will not keep Gary satiated for very long. The complex carbohydrates in the cereal would have provided more sustained energy and kept him full for a longer period of time. Choosing low-calorie options is important for weight loss, but it is also important to make sure that those options are nutritious and will keep you full and energized.
