Diet Analysis ProjectPART IDue Tuesday, September 17th Activity 1: Keeping a Two-Day Diet Intake Record*YOU WILL NEED A 3 PRONG FOLDER TO TURN IN THIS PROJECT. BACKGROUND INFORMATION:You will be listing everything you eat and drink for 2 days (one weekend day and one weekday). Choose days that are representative of your typical food intake. Your original, handwritten food intake record forms, with your name on them, must be completed prior to the computer portion of this project and must accompany each part of this project.Please try to eat what you usually eat. Knowing you have to record the food eaten will undoubtedly make some differences in your choices, but try to keep this effect to a minimum. You will not be graded on what or how much you eat. The analysis you will receive from the computer printouts will only be as accurate as the information you provide, so BE HONEST and specific. Record all food and beverages (including water) as soon as possible after consuming them to ensure the greatest accuracy. Don?t trust your memory!INSTRUCTIONS:1. Record the time and place (e.g. dorm room, restaurant, friend?s house, etc.) that the food or beverage is consumed.2. Record every item consumed. Please be as specific as possible to aid you with computer entry and food substitutions if necessary. This means including all snacks, beverages, and any condiments added to food before, during, or after preparation such as mustard, ketchup, mayonnaise, butter, margarine, salt, oils added in cooking, dressings on salads, jam, jelly, cream, and sugar. Do not include spices.CLICK HERE FOR MORE INFORMATION ON THIS PAPER? PRICE?..ú Record all beverages consumed, including water. Be sure to note if beverages such as coffee, tea and soda pop are caffeinated or not. ú Record all amounts/types of alcoholic beverages if consumed as well. Also, record the amount of juice/mixers used along with the alcoholic portion (e.g. one screwdriver may consist of 6 fluid ounces of orange juice and 1.5 fluid ounces of vodka).ú Record vitamin and/or mineral supplements taken, noting the nutrient content. However, do not enter these supplements into the computer. You will analyze your diet based on the nutrient contribution of food only. All calculations in the project should be based on your vitamin and mineral intake from food only. But you should enter protein shakes, energy bars and any other product that contributes calories.3. Record the amount of each item consumed. It is important to record the amounts as accurately as possible, in household measurements. In order to be consistent, please only use teaspoons, tablespoons, cups, ounces (only for grains and meats/beans), fluid ounces for liquids or number of items. Do not use servings; indicate actual amounts. You may find the information on food labels helpful for converting amounts consumed to estimated measurement (i.e. a slice of bread is approximately one ounce). Do not simply record the amount listed as one serving on your food record; instead, record the actual amount you consumed. Use these sites or similar tools to estimate portion sizes:http://www.myfooddiary.com/Resources/estimating_serving_sizes.asp http://education.wichita.edu/caduceus/examples/servings/visual_estimates.htm4. For complex mixture foods (e.g. casserole, salad), record each ingredient separately.5. Record additional information, such as the method of food preparation: e.g. if you had eggs, write down whether they were fried, hard boiled, or poached. This is to aid you in selecting items in ChooseMyPlate. Also, include brand names, type, variety and anything else specific to the item. The information contained in the original records will be considered your actual food intake, which the rest of the project should be based on. Do not change any of this information at a later time. You may only add detail. Use the Diet Record Forms provided on the following pages. If you cannot fit your foods for each day on one form, photocopy the form or get an additional copy from the web site and continue your list. Diet Record Example ?

If pages are missing from your project at the time of submission, they cannot be added at a later time. What you turn in is what will be graded. Proofread your printouts for data entry errors. 5 points will be subtracted from your score each class day this project is late. It is important to have Part I graded even if it is late! Calculations for Parts II rely on accurate information from Part I. It is essential to do well on Part I in order to accurately complete Part II. Arrange the various sections of your project in the following order:? Typed cover sheet: o Name, date of project submission, course number, course title.?
