Hello, I need help with nutrients. Can you please do the document? Please read the paper and answer them please.

Diet Analysis Project

Purpose: To assess the nutritional adequacy of the foods you eat and to help you plan a dietary change that could benefit your overall health and wellbeing.

Due: February 20Th, 2022 By 11:59 P.M.

Total: 60 Points

Overview:

You will be using online food trackers for this assignment. These Trackers will assess your food choices and provide personalized feedback on your total intake of energy (calories) and nutrients.

A person’s dietary intake varies from day to day, therefore dietary assessment results are more reflective of typical intake when at least several days of dietary intake are included in your analysis. For this assignment, you will record your food intake for three days, one of which should be a weekend day.

Results of dietary assessments are only as accurate as the information recorded and entered. The more accurate the input, the more accurate the results of the dietary assessment. Food intake over the 3 days should be carefully and completely recorded and amounts of foods consumed should be estimated as accurately as possible.

Instructions:

1. Record Your Food Intake:

Record your dietary intake for at least 1 weekend day and 2 weekdays. You can use paper, a journal, or any of the many online food trackers. This must be submitted as part of the assignment.

Tips For Success:

• Have a small notepad, journal, or smartphone app with you during the days that you will be recording your food intake.

• Try to record your food intake right after each meal or snack. If you wait until the end of the day and try to remember what you ate, you will likely forget to write something down and it will be difficult to capture the detail that you need.

• Write down foods, beverages, and ingredients in mixed dishes and the amount of each you consumed on the form.

• Fully describe each food item to the best of your ability (e.g., 2% milk, whole wheat bread, medium egg, lean ground beef). The more detail that you give, the easier it will be to conduct the dietary assessment online.

• Review your dietary intake record for completeness.

4. Referring to choosemyplate.gov, how do you fair as far as serving sizes? Are your servings generally in line with the recommendations? If so, what strategies do you use to maintain a proper proportion on your plate? If not, what are some ideas you can implement in your daily eating habits to decrease portion sizes? Which food group is your strongest as far as following portion sizes and which food group is the weakest?
