Kilocalories and EER (from the Actual intakes vs. Recommended intakes report) Review and compare the EER and your caloric intake. List your actual intake and the recommended intake. Was your caloric intake above or below the recommendation. How does your caloric intake relate to the EER? Referencing this information, should you increase, decrease or keep your caloric intake the same, and why? Refer to the MyPlate Report- Grains How many servings of grains are recommended and how many servings did the diet contain? Did the diet contain sufficient whole grains? If any grains were lacking, identify (the number of servings lacking in the diet) excellent sources of grains. Refer to the MyPlate report -fruits How many servings of fruits are recommended and how many servings did the diet contain? Did the diet contain sufficient whole fruits (fruit juice lacks fiber and fruit drinks are mostly sugar)? If any fruits were lacking, identify (the number of servings lacking in the diet) excellent sources of fruits (not already in the diet) Refer to the MyPlate report- vegetables How many servings of vegetables are recommended and how many servings did the diet contain? Did the diet contain a sufficient number and variety of vegetables? If any vegetables were lacking, identify (the number of servings lacking in the diet) excellent sources of vegetables with an emphasis on variety (leafy greens, reds and oranges, starchy vegetables, beans, etc…). Refer to the MyPlate report-milk and dairy How many servings of milk are recommended and how many servings did the diet contain? Did the diet contain a sufficient number of servings of milk and dairy? If any servings of milk were lacking, identify (the number of servings lacking in the diet) excellent sources of dairy. remember this is an assignment, so while you may not consume dairy for whatever reason, the purpose of the assignment is to identify nutrient dense selections within the food group. Refer to the MyPlate report- proteins How many servings of proteins are recommended and how many servings did the diet contain? Did the diet contain a sufficient number of servings of protein from a variety of sources (meats, poultry, seafoodh, legumes, nuts,soy, and eggs)? If any servings of proteins were lacking, or the variety was lacking, identify (the number of servings lacking in the diet) and suggest excellent sources of protein. Acceptable Macronutrient Density Range- Protein- refer to calories and fat sources report percentage of the recommended amount of protein did you consume on average per day over the 3 days? (Refer to the Calories and fat sources Report.) Compare the percentage of protein in the diet to the AMDR.  note that while high protein or high fat diets may be very popular, the assignment will be graded based on the current recommendations. Again, you may eat whatever you wish to eat, but if you wish to optimize the point value of the assignment, the answers will be based on the current recommendation. Acceptable Macronutrient Density Range- Fat -refer to calories and fat sources report percentage of the recommended amount of fat did you consume on average per day over the 3 days? (Refer to the Calories and fat sources Report.) Compare the percentage of protein in the diet to the AMDR. Acceptable Macronutrient Density Range Carbohydrates- refer to calories and fat sources report percentage of the recommended amount of carbohydrate did you consume on average per day over the 3 days? (Refer to the Calories and fat sources Report.) Compare the percentage of carbohydrate in the diet to the AMDR. Fiber- Refer to the Actual Intakes vs. Recommended Intakes Report percentage of the recommended intake of dietary fiber did you consume on average per day? Saturated fat- Refer to the Source of Fat table in the Calorie and Fat Sources Report. Did saturated fat make up more than 10% of your total calorie intake on average? ( final thoughts In browsing through the reports, was there anything that surprised you about your nutrient intake? Discuss below why you were or why you were surprised by what you have read about your nutrient intake in the MyDietAnalysis reports. If you feel your diet is already balanced, describe how you accomplish your balanced intake and when you began eating this way. (Discussion should be about 300 words)
