Diet Analysis : Deficiencies, Excesses, and Recommendations for Improvement

  In part 1, food/beverage intake and activity for one weekend day and two week days were collected. In Part 2 of this assignment, you will need to analyze your nutrition and activity. Use the 2020 Dietary Guidelines for Americans (Links to an external site.) and any additional evidence-based research to compare your results. This will be in presentation format, using PowerPoint or similar program. Be sure to cover the following information in your self-reflection: Adequacy of macronutrient intake: What was your daily caloric intake? Carbs? Protein? Fat? How many "empty calories" did you consume? Did you exceed your recommended caloric intake? (Tip: consider updating the "Wellness Profile" and view the Intake vs. Goals Report to see your comparison) Did you exceed recommended cholesterol intake? Adequacy of micronutrient intake: Were you deficient in any micronutrients? Exceeding recommended intake? How was your intake of sodium, calcium, Vitamin C? Food groups: Did you consume the recommended number of servings of each food group? Specifically fruits and vegetables? Does your current diet omit any food groups? Physical activity: How many minutes of physical activity did you complete over the 3 days? Was it adequate according to recommended exercise goals? Overall assessment: How would you say your health measures up to the Dietary Guidelines? Were you surprised by anything in your assessment?Recommended changes: Are there any changes to diet or activity you would like to make? Which changes and why?
