Food Diary Analysis

Maintaining your diary:

You will use the MyFitnessPal food diary app to record everything that goes into your digestive system over the course of three days. Record everything you eat and drink and record the name and dosage of any medications that you take, including vitamins, minerals, and herbal supplements.

It is preferable to record your food intake for at least one non-school day or one non-weekday (for example, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, or Sunday, Monday, Tuesday). This way, you will see how you are eating habits change with your schedule.

It is important that you take time each day to record your food, drink, and drug intake rather than relying on your memory. An honest, detailed diary will help you gain a better understanding of yourself personally and professionally.

Take screenshots of your MyFitnessPal food diary for the three days to include in your analysis paper.

2. Find your Recommended Dietary Allowance for each of the macro and micronutrients identified in the guidelines.

3. Write a nutritional self-assessment paper in APA format. In your paper, you will analyze nutrient intake for each macro and micronutrient, develop an evidence-based diet plan and goals to improve your diet.
