This is because if you look at my statistics among all the vitamins that are listed there, I have only attained the target for two minerals that are sodium and riboflavin and for the rest of the others there is none o have made it to the target meaning that I need to improve the amounts of minerals and vitamins that I consume.

    1. When I compare with the energy report balance, I should be losing weight. This is because the recommended is 3125kcal, I took 1500kcal and used 2726kcal which means that I lost 1226kcal.

    1. According to my grain pie chart and the graphs of what I took for the tree days they do not compare at all. I am doing it opposite of what it should have been done, example I should take a bigger portion of vegetables and I took just a small piece of then, I took no fruits but according to my plate report, there should be fruits that are included in my diet. For the proteins I performed well and also for the grains my performance was relatively good although not what was expected.
