Is the hint wrong?

For the sentence " and limit sugary treats " the hint is " and [I'm going to] limit..." so the answer I used was "et j'aller à limite les friandses." but the answer was wrong and the 'correct' answer was "et limiter les friandises." which if I'm right in thinking should mean "and [to] limit sugary treats" not "and [I'm going to] limit sugary treats."

Bonjour Nick,

I have checked, and the hint is correct.

It means that 'limit' refers back to the previous segment, which said 'I'm going to eat ..." so it should be the infinitive in French-

Je vais manger ... et (je vais) limiter

 If you are not familiar with the grammar rule, please take a look at the following lesson -

Conjugate verbs in the near future in French using aller + infinitive (Le Futur Proche)

Bonne Continuation !
