WRITING THE DIET ANALYSIS PAPER

You will now need to review all the forms above and any other data you choose on the NutriCalc Plus reports to summarize your diet in a 2 ½ - 3 page paper. Please use space and ½ between lines. Do not use a font size greater than 12. An example analysis is in the Nutritional Analysis Assignment in Canvas. Here are some of the things you should consider in your written analysis:

1. Summarize the recommendations for intake of nutrients briefly.

(Use the NutriCalc Plus Recommendation Report to find these recommendations.)

1. Discuss and compare your energy recommendations and your intake. You might find some variance between your calculations of energy needs and the recommendation from NutriCalc Plus. Why do you think that is? For example, was the physical activity questionnaire not accurate? Were the activity levels suggested in the NutriCalc Plus inadequate?

(Use the Physical Activity Questionnaire and the Energy Needs Form; also use the Nutrient Report and the Activity Report from NutriCalc Plus.)

1. Discuss your ideal body weight and BMI. Are these realistic? What might account for your differences from ideal and recommended? Do you think that the risk assessment from these calculations is not accurate? Why or why not?

(Use the Health Based on % IBW Form you completed.)

1. Analyze the findings of the NutriCalc Plus analysis. Use the food group/My Plate questionnaire to highlight important changes needed and how you will accomplish that, if relevant.

(Use the MyPlate report in NutriCalc Plus for your average of 3 days).

1. Discuss the macronutrient analysis. How close were your calculations to the reports from NutriCalc Plus Should you change anything here and if so, how would you do that?

(Use the Macronutrient Analysis form you completed and the Macronutrient Information from NutriCalc Plus)

1. For each micronutrient that is LESS THAN the recommended intake (80% or less of recommended), explain why that might put you at nutritional risk. Include how that nutrient is used in the body and what foods you could consume to increase your intake of those individual micronutrients.

(You will need to use the vitamin and mineral forms in Phase 2 to find these numbers by calculating the recommended versus actual intake numbers from NutriCalc Plus in percentages.)

1. Include any discussion you want about differences in your assessment versus the NutriCalc Plus or form analyses. Why do you think that those differences matter? For example, perhaps your reports and analysis show a very high intake of fat, but this fat comes primarily from fish and/or nuts. this would really make a difference because the fats in fish and nuts are very healthy for you. Or perhaps your BMI is high, but your body composition shows a favorable fat to lean body ratio.
