Dietary Analysis Personalized Diet Plan

Step 1: Submission of Dietary Analysis Results

• Write out what you plan to eat for three consecutive days incorporating the guidelines you have learned over the semester in regard to what constitutes a balanced diet. You can use your MyPlate dietary analysis as a guide to help you plan menus that meet your DRI recommendations.

• Go to the Diet & Wellness Plus program, click on Track Diet and enter your menus selecting three consecutive dates for them.

• Once your three day food intake is entered, click on the Reports Tab.

• Click on the “not started” button for the assignment: Personalized Diet Plan.

• Select the start and end dates for the 3 days you entered for your personalized diet plan under Track Diet.

• Review the information in this report and verify the accuracy of the Dates and Food Logs, make any corrections if needed.

• Evaluate the results based on the criteria listed in the table below that will be used for grading this assignment. For each nutrient, the results must fall within the target percentage to earn the point assigned to it. Therefore, you may have to go back and forth a few times until you achieve an acceptable intake for all the nutrients. Hint: Looking at the Source Analysis report may help you determine how to modify your menu either to increase or decrease the amount of a nutrient. For example, if you use fortified foods and supplements including nutrition bars and drinks, they may be adding too much of some nutrients to your diet and you may want to limit or eliminate them. On the other hand, if your menus are low in a nutrient, you may want to increase your intake of a food you like that is a good source of the nutrient.

• When you are satisfied everything is accurate, click on the SUBMIT button. By clicking the Submit button the report will be available for review by your instructor.
