i will start out by saying i am an athlete and eat a lot and train a lot, so that can help with the analysis. Record and analyze your food intake for three 24 hour periods. Computer analysis must be done and www.cronometer.com can be utilized. Analyze the intake for the three days. Compare your results with the DRI’s. Write yourself a diet prescription explaining how you could improve your dietary intakes of nutrients by eating different foods, different eating patterns, etc. (Usually 4-6 pages are sufficient). There are two goals for this project: 1) learn the analysis process, and 2) gain some personal insight about yourself and your food intake. So, as usual, the more diet analysis information available the better in terms of drawing conclusions. Be sure to suggest specific dietary changes you can make to improve your health and longevity. Suggestions should be given for any dietary components that were found to be deficient or in excess. Tables and graphs are good communication tools but don’t have to be exhaustive. DO NOT TURN IN YOUR FOOD INTAKE LISTS – we don’t grade what foods you eat – just your nutrient analysis. Two example analyses are given for you to see. It’s always interesting, especially if you are involved in some active “health/exercise” program. So, do the “process” but then personalize the results – you will gain benefit from that activity. i have attached a sample of another students work to give you an idea. Also, attached to the same document, a questionnaire to aid your intake information and writing the paper.
