Homework: Biology- Anatomy Food Log

I've already completed the food log and ran the reports, which I'll attach here so you can use that data. Further directions for the homework:

Once you've recorded your 10 days worth of food and drink, you will analyze your results and type out a 3 to 4 pages summary of your findings. In your summary please discuss the following:

For each of these macro and micronutrients (calories, carbohydrates, sugar, fiber, protein, sodium and fats and 2 vitamins and minerals), compare and contrast your intake to the recommendations (compare your graph to the recommended amount). Are they similar? Why or why not? What specific changes could you make to your diet to improve this (use specific examples of foods to increase or decrease in your diet)?

I. Calories

II. Carbohydrates

III. Sugars: Unfortunately, MyFitnessPal does not differentiate between naturally occurring sugars and added sugars.

IV. Protein: The protein recommendation given by My FitnessPal is generally inaccurate (too high). Compare this to your personal protein needs, as completed when we covered protein. (Mine was 85.9 and fitness pal puts me at 40, so it's actually less than I need, not more)

V. Fiber

VI. Sodium

VII. Fat

VIII. Choose 1 additional vitamins or minerals from the drop down menu.

i. If you choose a vitamin or mineral that displays as a %RDA, this means 100 (the red line) = 100% = the RDA for this nutrient. Look up and list the actual RDA for this micronutrient, being sure to include its unit value (mg or mcg).

IX. After looking at these things, how do you feel about your overall diet? Do you feel that any changes should be made? Why or why not? How would specific changes affect your health?
