Read the following passage and circle the letter A, B, C or D to indicate the correct answer to each of the
questions from 31-35.
Sweet potatoes are favored by many as a morning food because they are considered a superfood, rich in
protein, vitamins, and fiber. These qualities make them an excellent option for weight loss and even a viable
replacement for main meals. While consuming sweet potatoes in the morning is generally acceptable, it's
crucial to assess if the consumption method is appropriate.
For instance, it is calculated that a 200-gram sweet potato provides about 240 calories, but a breakfast should
ideally offer at least 300 calories to fulfill the energy needs of active workers. Therefore, a medium-sized 2002

gram sweet potato may suffice as a breakfast for office workers who engage in minimal physical activity, but
not for those involved in strenuous physical labor.
Moreover, relying solely on sweet potatoes for many months is not advised as it could lead to nutritional
deficiencies and an insufficient caloric intake. Although a bowl of noodle soup may contain fewer green
vegetables, it offers a more varied diet and supplies a broader range of nutrients than sweet potatoes. Noodle
soup includes carbohydrates, protein, and fat, providing a more balanced nutritional profile compared to sweet
potatoes, which primarily offer fiber and protein.
Overall, it is permissible to eat sweet potatoes in the morning. However, they should not be the sole dietary
staple over a prolonged period. Diversifying one's diet is essential to maintain a balanced and healthy
nutritional intake.
(Adapted from Vnexpress International by Dr. Tu Ngu)

A. Protein
