Dietary Analysis Compared to Recomendations from MyPlate

Coursework Instructions:

Instructions: I have attached my PDF version of my (My Plate) worksheet. You will need these results in order to complete the write up.
Step 3
It is possible that although your Part 2: Diet Analysis Cronometer Nutrition report showed your diet was adequate in nutrients, met calorie goals, and balanced in terms of nutrients, your diet is lacking variety and not showing moderation in terms of the food groups (one is too high or too low, resulting in too much or too little of another food group). This portion of the diet analysis project will focus on your critical analysis of your intake for one day as compared to recommendations from MyPlate for variety and moderation in the food groups.
You will provide this analysis as a written paper. The paper should include an introduction paragraph, one paragraph for each of the 5 food groups, one paragraph on the “limits” (sodium and saturated fat), and a conclusion--Eight (8) paragraphs in total.
Introduction: This should tell the reader what they will expect to read about in your paper. The main focus here is that you are introducing a review of your diet in terms of variety, moderation, and how well it matches up to recommendations about food groups.
Body of the paper: Aim for one complete paragraph (3-5 sentences is a good goal to aim for) addressing each food group and the limits. This means you will have six (6) paragraphs in total for the body of the paper.
For each food group support the determination you made (Y or N) in column 3 of your worksheet- Did you reach your target? Clearly state if you believe you did/did NOT meet the recommendation and how you came to this conclusion. Which foods did you classify in this food group and how did you come up with the total number of servings? Do this for each of the 5 food groups.
Once you have this for all food groups, write an analysis for the limits. If you exceeded sodium and/or saturated fat, identify which foods in your diet for the day resulted in being over the limit(s). If you were under for one or both, comment on how you made choices to keep those to a minimum. In the event no decisions were made specifically with awareness of sodium and saturated fat content, that is fine, however you will want to comment on this still and not skip over a critical analysis of your intake impacting those values.
Conclusion: This is the last paragraph (#8) of the paper. Here is where you present your final argument using the preceding evidence presented in the body of the paper to support whether or not your diet for that one-day was varied and exhibited moderation. The key aspects to address here are specifically variety and moderation as presented in An Introduction to Nutrition chapter 2 using MyPlate as your set of guidelines.

Dietary Analysis 3
A dietary analysis helps assess an individual’s nutrient intake and compare it with their daily recommended amounts. Although one may meet their calorie and nutrients needs, it is important to consume food from all the food groups. Considering all the foods groups helps ensure we take a diverse and moderate diet that does not exceed or deprive the body of certain nutrients.
I did not reach my target for fruits because I consumed ½ cup of raw pineapples, whereas the recommended amount is two cups of fruit, one cup of dried fruit, or two cups of pure fruit juice. I considered fruits under the fruit food group and took one serving of raw pineapples. One serving of fruits is equal to ½ cup raw fruits, ½ cup pure fruit juice, or ¼ cup of dried fruit. In my case, I took one serving of fruits which did not meet my daily target of four servings (2 cups of fruit).
In addition, I did not achieve my daily recommended intake of vegetables because I had two cups of cooked vegetables instead of the recommended 3 ½ cups. Under the vegetable food group, I took asparagus and broccoli, one cup each, cooked. To meet my recommended daily quantity, I should have taken 3 ½ cups of raw or cooked vegetables, 6 ½ cups of green salad, or 3 ½ cups of pure vegetable juice.
I met my grain target because I consumed ten servings against the recommended amount of nine servings. I achieved my target by consuming two ounces of cream of wheat, four ounces of cooked rice, and four ounces...
