The student will:
• Demonstrate knowledge of the dietary goals and guidelines set for Americans, by evaluating nutritional adequacy of diets using the USDA My Plate.
• Use quantitative analytical skills to evaluate and analyze nutrient analysis data using computer and emerging technologies effectively.
• Synthesize information learned from previous course content to assess and analyze their dietary intake.
On the Food Intake Record form, you will record everything you eat for 3 days. Choose 3 consecutive days, one being a weekend or holiday. Next, generate a meal plan check list using the Choose My Plate tool, and analyze your meal plan.
You will then, in essay form, write a summary and analysis of your diet intake identifying the areas of strength and areas of weakness. And what you could do to improve your intake to make a more complete and nutritionally balanced meal plan.
