Description

Diet Analysis Assignment The purpose of this assignment is for you to gain experience in keeping a 3-day food record, using a computer to analyze the nutrient content of your diet, interpreting the computer analysis data, and setting goals as to how to improve your diet. The assignment is divided into 3 sections (A, B and C). For the Diet Analysis assignment you will complete Parts A and B. The Written Report (Part C) will use the information from your analysis and will be submitted separately. Total Points: Diet Analysis Assignment (Part A and B) 50 points Directions: Part A:

Section 1: Recording your diet using a 3-day food record (15 points)

Use the Diet Record Forms to accurately record your food and beverage intake. You will need to write down everything you eat and drink for a 3-day period. These days do NOT have to be consecutive days. One day must be a weekend day (Saturday or Sunday) and all three days must be typical of the way you normally eat. Use one Diet Record Form per day. Include all condiments such as catsup, mayonnaise, etc. You do not need to record spices, water, or vitamin/mineral food/beverage as well as the amount you consumed (e.g. 8 oz of skim milk, 1 slice of whole wheat bread, 1 teaspoon of mustard, 3 oz fried chicken breast with skin etc). Points will be deducted if you do not give specific descriptions of your food items, such as brand names, preparation methods, etc. The computer database includes codes for mixed food items such as lasagna, beef stew etc., so there is no need to record these foods by individual components. The database also includes many foods from fast food restaurants. Recall the information from the “Food Portions” lecture. The more specific you make your entry, the more accurate your results will be. However, sometimes you will not be able to find an exact match for the food item. In that case, find an item that is most similar to the one you ate. The three most common errors are associated with bread, cake and juice. When selecting bread, make sure the extension is slice versus loaf. There is a big difference between 1 slice of bread versus 1 loaf of bread. The same is true for cakes, pies etc. If you type in apple juice, your choices will include frozen concentrate (fz-cnd). Make sure you don’t select juice with the extension “cnd.” There is a big difference between drinking a glass of fruit juice and a glass of fruit juice concentrate.

Many errors are made in selecting the wrong unit of measure. Incorrect food items and incorrect serving sizes will give you inaccurate results. Being careful now will save you the trouble of having to redo your work. Part A: Section 2: Analyzing your Diet using analysis software (15 points)

After recording your diet for 3 days, you are now ready to analyze your diet using a diet analysis program available via the Internet called Choose My Plate. This website was developed by the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Center for Nutrition Policy and Promotion. The first time you use this site, create your profile as a new user. Go to “Super Tracker” and either “Log in” or “Create a Profile.” Once you have done this you will be taken to “My Coach Center.” Select “Food Tracker” which is in the middle of the page. You will enter each day’s food intake from your food diary following the directions given. Make sure you enter/change the date of your food consumption on the left side of the screen. When you enter a food, make sure you choose the closest serving size to match the amount you consumed. This is a national database and it may not have the exact food that you consumed. Look over the choices and choose the closest match to your item. When you have completed entering day one’s intake, select “My Reports” and then select “Nutrient Reports.” This would be a good time to record the data obtained from the Nutrient Report into Table 1 of the Diet Analysis Assignment. Complete each day as a separate day. Review your data for accuracy. If you detect a problem, be sure to correct it (food items, portion sizes, etc.) and redo the procedure. Do not rely on the website to save your data. Record the nutrient information into Table 1 as you get your Nutrient Report. Part B: Section 3: Results of the Analysis - see page 7

Part B: Section 3 – Results of the Analysis

1. Use the information from your Nutrient Analysis Report to complete Table 1. The order of the nutrients presented in the analysis match the order in Table 1.

2. Record the Dietary Reference Intake (DRI) level set for your age and gender for all the nutrients listed in Table 1. The DRI tables are in the back of your textbook. They are the green charts. You will be using charts A-D only for Table 1. 3. Calculate and record your percent (%) DRI intake for each nutrient. An example how to calculate this is: Your 3-day average calcium intake was 600mg and the DRI for calcium is 1200mg then: 600mg/1200mg x 100 = 50 %. So you consumed 50% of the DRI for calcium. 4. Indicate if your intake of a specific nutrient was < 75% or > 300% of the DRI (e.g. highlight the nutrient) Where there are dashed lines, no data is required. You will also need the data from Table 1 to complete your Written Report. 5. Please leave the Rubric attached to this assignment. The only item that you will be turning in for a grade (uploading into Blackboard via Assignments) is this document. I do not need copies of the printouts from the website. 6. Please name your completed document as: lastname_firstinitial_dietanalysis Example: If I was turning in this document as a student for a grade then I would name it as: Wakeman_S_dietanalysis
