The purpose of this assignment is to learn how to analyze a 3-day diet and compare the intakes to the Dietary Reference Intakes (DRIs). Your paper should follow the following format: double spaces, 10 or 12 point standard type font (examples: Arial or Times New Roman), and 2 to 3 pages in length (excluding table).
Instructions
Choose ONE 3-day diet to analyze (Diet A 19-year-old male Download Diet A 19-year-old male, Diet B 21-year-old female Download Diet B 21-year-old female, Diet C 30-year-old male Download Diet C 30-year-old maleDownload Diet C 65-year-old male.pdf).

Enter the example person’s 3-day food intake into MindTap’s Diet & Wellness Plus+ (a diet analysis program–green apple icon on the right vertical toolbar in MindTap). Be sure to carefully enter each item and its serving size. Choose items that most closely match the items listed.

View the “Intake vs. Goals” report for each day AND the “3-Day Average” report. Use the information to complete this table: Diet Analysis Table (Word version) Download Diet Analysis Table (Word version) Download Diet Analysis Table.docxDiet Analysis Table (pdf version) Download Diet Analysis Table (pdf version)Download Diet Analysis Table.pdf Be sure to select the correct corresponding date ranges. Analyze the person’s 3-day intake by comparing their intake to their DRIs. Any percentage below 80 % is considered a nutrient deficiency; any percentage above 120 % is considered a nutrient excess. (Note: You may have to adjust your margins to a “narrow” setting of 0.5” on all sides to make the table fit.)

Discuss each nutrient deficiency and excess and identify specific foods (not dietary supplements) to improve intake. It is optional to discuss caffeine and/or alcohol–see textbook regarding recommendations. (You may find it helpful to use the “MyPlate Analysis” report in Diet & Wellness+).

Address whether or not their physical activity should increase, decrease, or remain the same (explain why). Provide at least 1 practical suggestion for improving or maintaining their physical activity.
