Objectives
The purpose of the Nutrition Analysis Project activity is to:
Demonstrate understanding of macronutrients, vitamins and minerals and how to determine deficiencies and toxicity (CO 2)
Examine specific examples of cultural aspects of the diet (CO3)
Identify dietary habits that need to be changed to healthier habits to maintain a healthy lifestyle (CO 2 and CO 4)
Guidelines
Students are required to complete a Nutritional Analysis Project activity. The student will conduct an analysis of a 24-hour period to include macronutrients, vitamins, and minerals. Information will be organized in a table format to include: food list for 24 hours, total nutritional value of each item, and recommended daily allowance, risks of deficiency, and recommended changes. Students will then need to write a paper reflecting on their intake of foods including cultural influences and plans to improve and or maintain good nutrition.
NB) USE MYFITNESSPAL OR CHROMO METER
The paper must be typed with 1” margins, double spacing and a 12-point Times Roman font. The paper should also include a reference list. The American Psychological Association format must also be utilized for the paper. The paper should be between three and five pages in length (not including cover page, abstract, references, exhibits, etc.).
