Dietary Analysis r details

 Based on all the reports and worksheets you should be able to do a good analysis of your diet. This written analysis should be a minimum of 3 pages long and include the following details: 1. What influences your food choices? Give examples from the three days you recorded. Explain how these influences can be positive or negative. 2. How many ounces of fluids did you consume each day? This number you will need to add up yourself from your three-day diet diary. How does this number compare to the recommendations of 48-64 oz. per day? Are there changes you should make to your fluid choices? 3. My Plate Plan: How did your diet compare with the recommendations for you? Consider each food group and your intake from each – is it appropriate? List at least three foods you could add or change to improve your My Plate intake. 4. Calories Report: how did your calorie intake compare to the amount My Plate, cronometer or your calculations recommended for you? Consider weight loss or maintenance goals. Are you happy with your kcal intake and your activity level? What changes do you think need to be made? Give examples and be specific. 5. Macronutrient Report: How does your percentage of kcals compare to the targets/recommendations for you? (Cronometer report) List at least three foods you would add/change/delete to improve these percentages. Also look at your fiber intake. Does it meet the recommendations of 25-35 grams per day? How will you improve on that number? 6. Nutrition Report: how does your individual nutrient intake compare to the RDA standards? Focus on nutrients where your intake did not meet needs (<90% of RDA) and ones that you over- consumed (>110% of RDA). List at least three foods you would add/change/delete to improve these percentages. Use your text book to find food sources of each nutrient. 7. Summarize your analysis and list three measurable, attainable goals to improve your diet. For example: Fiber = 6.6grams/day this is WAY below the recommendations. Do not list your goal as “add more fiber to my diet. Do list specific foods that you would actually be willing to eat! “Add whole wheat bread to my breakfast at least 4 days a week” or “Add 1 cup of broccoli to my dinner at least once per week”.
