Write down everything you eat and drink for one day. Include breakfast, lunch, dinner, and snacks. You do not need to write down water as it has no calories.

If you need help, click on the help tab and refer to the user’s manual. You are also welcome to join me during my office hours!
Once you have finished adding all of your foods, scroll through the Nutrient Target Summaries.
By default, Cronometer set each nutrient to the recommended values as set by the DRI nutrition standards. The basic idea for these targets is to get at least 100% of the minimum value each day to have good nutrition. For nutrients that have a maximum, it is recommended to not exceed the maximum value.
Bars colored in yellow mean you have not yet reached your minimum target
Bars colored in green mean you have met the minimum target and not yet exceeded your maximum target.
Bars colored in red mean you have exceeded your maximum target.
You can mouse over a bar to see the top contributors from your diary on that day to meet this specific target.
Answer the following questions and submit them along with your saved Cronometer food analysis.
How many calories did you consume? (4 Points) You must enter a minimum of 1500 calories for this assignment.
What percentage of Carbohydrates, Lipids (fats), and Proteins did you consume? (12 Points)
Referring back to the foods you consumed the day of the analysis, what are two changes you can make to improve your nutritional intake? Please talk specifically about your foods. For example, if you are consuming too much fat, discuss the specific foods you ate that are high in fat and give me alternative foods to decrease your fat intake. (9 Points)

Evidence is important in understanding and making decisions regarding public health. Empirical articles serve as credible sources of support because they provide or describe evidence based on research. Empirical articles describe original research or the results of a study.
Begin by researching major causes and trends in morbidity and mortality in the United States. Once you have completed your research, identify one health issue related to morbidity and mortality. Locate three empirical articles from the GALE Library related to primary, secondary, and tertiary prevention, one for each level of prevention, including health promotion and screening related to the health issue you have identified in your research. Utilize the Levels of Prevention Matrix” in order to evaluate your chosen articles.
Your selected articles must have been published within the last 5 years, and the information discussed in your matrix must be paraphrased/summarized.
