DIET ANALYSIS PART 1 GUIDELINES
Objective:
To record foods and beverages eaten over 3 days. This will be analyzed for intake of specific macro and micronutrients.
You will be entering your daily food intake into Diet & Wellness Plus. It is up to you if you enter the food you eat as you go throughout the day, or record food intake by hand and enter everything at the end of the day/3 days.
See below for instructions on using Diet & Wellness Plus.
1. Choose 2 weekdays and 1 weekend day to record your foods.
2. Choose from a variety of foods and make sure to have recorded at least 15 food or beverage items PER day. Do not regularly repeat the same foods. (Tea, water, and spices do not count towards these 15 items.)
3. Be as specific as possible when listing/describing food choices. Make sure to describe type of food, and how it was cooked
Example: Correct-white meat chicken, broiled, without skin
Incorrect- chicken
Correct- steamed broccoli crowns
Incorrect- “cooked” broccoli
Notice the method of preparation, AND food item
4. ALL foods must be broken down into their individual units to receive full credit.
Example: Incorrect-hamburger sandwich
Correct: Bun
Hamburger meat
Condiment...
Each ingredient will then have its own measure in the “weight/amount” column of your form You must breakdown foods like burritos, McDonald's cheeseburgers, or Burger King's fish sandwich, any sandwiches, mixed fruit salads, salads, etc!!
5. Use the following units of measure when entering the weight or amount:
Ounces- use for meats, cheese, fish, bread, cookies, granola bars, candy bars, bagels (note: 1 typical bagel is 5 oz, 1 typical slice of pizza is 7 oz… refer to book)
OK to use cups (volume measures) for vegetables, fruit salad, sauces (spaghetti sauce), rice, pasta, beans, yogurt, ice cream
Tablespoons/teaspoons- use for condiments (ketchup, mustard, etc.), soy sauce, sugar, butter, margarine, jams or jellies, salad dressings, and sauces (béarnaise, etc.).
Cups OR oz.- drinks, snacks (such as potato chips, pretzels, etc.), and cereals
NOTE: 8 fl oz = 1 cup (THIS ONLY APPLIES FOR LIQUID MEASURES.) THIS DOES NOT APPLY FOR SOLIDS
DO NOT RECORD ANY FOOD AMOUNTS IN GRAMS!!
Conversion: 28 grams=1 ounce
DO NOT USE ITEM/SLICE/BAR/EACH WHEN RECORDING FOODS!
Everything should be recorded in ounces, cups, tbsp, etc. You can do each (small or large) for individual fruit or vegetable items.
6. Do not include/list any supplements on diet analysis forms.

*Note: search for your food items with some detail (ex: search for “grilled chicken breast”); a list of choices will appear, choose the most appropriate food item based on what you consumed. You may have to play around with the search term to find the most accurate food item.
4. Once the three-day food input is complete, click on the Reports tab on the menu bar. Scroll down to Advanced Reports and click on Combination Report. Select the appropriate three-day date range. Select:
1. Macronutrient Ranges
2. Intake vs. Goals

Once selected, you can preview combination report; when you’re ready to print, select print PDF. You must turn in a hard copy of these spreadsheets.
5. Finally, you will calculate your average intake of carbohydrates, protein, and fat using the information on the Macronutrient Ranges spreadsheet. First you will calculate the grams of each of the macronutrients, and then use this information to calculate the percent of calories coming from each macronutrient. Please show all of your work on the separate spreadsheet entitled
Average Daily Intake Form.
DIET ANALYSIS FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
When can I use “pieces” or “items”?
You can use “piece” or “item” when describing a fruit or vegetable you ate by itself (IE 1 apple, 1 banana). Otherwise, cups or ounces should be used as appropriate.
I had a slice of bread, can that be entered as “slices”?
Grain items such as breads, muffins, donuts and pastries should be entered using ounces. Do your best to estimate the amount that you consumed and consult Dr. Young’s book for tips on how to do so.
What if I do not eat 15 foods per day?
For this assignment, students must have 15 recorded foods per day. If it is impossible for you to eat 15 foods per day, you can interview a friend and use their record for 1-2 of the days. At least one day should be your own record. It is also ok to have 10 items one day, and 20 items on the next.
Note--it is not difficult to get 15 items.
Cereal with milk and a banana would count for 3 items.
Pasta with tomato sauce, vegetables, and parmesan cheese counts as 4 items.
We will discuss further in class.
Do I need to break down food items into their individual ingredients?
You only need to break foods down when they are in a mixed dish. For example, if you eat spaghetti and meatballs, you need to enter spaghetti, meatballs and tomato sauce separately. Entering “spaghetti with meatballs” would result in points off. However, you do not need to break the meatballs or tomato sauce recipes down into their individual components.
Mindtap does not have the exact brand/ food item that I ate. What should I do?
Please select the option that best represents what you consumed.
Do coffee, tea and espresso count as foods?
Black coffee, tea and espresso do not count as food as they do not contribute calories. However, if you consumed these items with milk or creamer, those can count as a food. They should be broken down and entered as separate foods, though the coffee will not count towards your 15 for the day. For example “coffee, black” followed by “milk, 1%” would be correct, while “coffee with milk” would not.
What about salt?
Salt and other seasonings do not count as foods.
Where can I find the Average Daily Intake form?
The Average Daily Intake Form can be found in NYU Classes. You must submit this form with your assignment to receive credit.
