Based on the USDA Myplate food groups, which food group(s) you did not meet the minimum recommended amount intake? List specific foods and amounts of each foods you could have consume to meet your recommended intake. Did your diet provide an adequate variety of foods or were your choice monotonous? 2. Did you meet your recommended calorie goal for the day? If not, what could you have done to meet your goal. How many calories were you under or over? What would you expect to happen to your weight if you eat at the level of your dietary analysis? What problem areas could you see with your current energy intake? 3. What is your daily intake of cholesterol in mg? Is your daily intake of saturated fat greater than 10% of your total calories? If your intake is higher than 300mg of cholesterol or total saturated fat is higher than 10%. How can a person lower their intake of saturated fat and cholesterol? 4. What percentage of your total calorie intake is coming from carbohydrates, protein, and fat? Add the percentages of kcal from carbohydrate, protein, and fat together. Does the result add up to 100%? If your total is not 100%, and your calculation is off by more than 2%, recalculate the percentages of calories from carbohydrate, protein and fat. The percentages should be 100% or within a percent or two of 100%. Also if your food log include alcohol, this may also account for the discrepancy and you should indicate as such. 5. Did your intake of carbohydrate, protein and fat fall within Accepted Macronutrient Distribution range? If not, list the macronutrient that is below or above the recommended intake. 6. How many grams of fiber did you eat in one day? How many grams of fiber is recommended for you? Does your intake meet your recommended intake? If not list three specific foods that are high in fiber, the serving size and amount of fiber in each that you can add to your diet to meet your need for the day. 7. What is your sodium intake per day? Is your intake of sodium less than 2300mg per day? If your sodium is less than 2300mg per day and you consume the same or more calories than the recommended calorie goal, explain why your sodium level is low. If your sodium level is below 2300mg per day and your total calories is less than the recommended intake, explain what would happen to your sodium intake if you consume the recommended intake of calories, then list three foods that are low in sodium (less than 100mg per serving), the quantity and the amount of sodium in each food. If your sodium level is more than 2300mg per day, list three foods that are low in sodium (less than 100mg per serving) that you could have eaten. List quantity and amount of sodium in each of your low sodium list you would eat. 8. What is your total intake of potassium for the day? Does your daily intake of potassium fall within the normal limit of 4,700 mg per day? List at least three foods that are high in potassium, and the amount you would need to eat to meet your daily need for potassium for the day. List amount of potassium in each food. 9. What is the immediate health consequence of a diet that is high in sodium (salt) but low in potassium? Be thoughtful with your response. You should read more about it in the chapter that discusses these two minerals in your textbook. If you write death, or heart attack, you will be incorrect and get a zero. 10. How do you view your diet as a whole? Is there anything that you would change? Give 3 specific things you will change in your intake and activity as a result of doing this project. Do you believe that if you eat like this every day, you are practicing good nutrition health? If so, why? If not, why? Be specific with your response. What do you think were the most important findings in your Diet Analysis Project? The documents needed to complete this assignment are in the files attached.
