Five Day Nutritional Assessment Project –
The Food Nutritional Assessment will consist of a 5-day intake/nutrient assessment log, a percent distribution analysis of your 5-day intake. Please be as accurate and honest as you can; this food log is a little more detailed so please review. The five-day intake should include at least one weekend day. Once completed, compare and analyze your diet to your dietary reference intakes. You can find these numbers at the very back of your book or online by using the www.choosemyplate.gov. Another option is to use a food tracking app such as Cronometer or MyFitnessPal or the following website http://nutritiondata.self.com/. Please be aware of what each resource provides in the form of nutritional information. The 5-Day assessment has columns for B-Vitamins and Folate which is not found on food labels. You will have to do some research to find these numbers.
In addition to turning in the spreadsheet of your food log, write a 1-2 typed page summary of your diet/activity level by answering these questions. How well does it fit into what your food intake should be, do you have a positive or negative caloric balance, what are your strength and weaknesses when it comes to your diet/activity level, and what steps you are going to take to improve your dietary plan (if needed)? To access the 5-day food log, click on the link below.
Included will be all documents needed to complete your Personal Nutritional Assessment.

Hello, I attached the pdf instructions here please read carefully and follow exactly what it says. please let me know if you need to add more pages or even a chart.
You will be surveying dairy, dairy substitutes, and juice products found in the supermarket and compare the calcium, vitamin D, and phosphorus content in at least four (4) products. One product must be dairy milk. Other items could be almond milk, orange juice, fortified orange juice, soy milk, coconut milk, Sunny D, or any other juice.
After selecting the products, use the following questions to assess your supplement, then write a 1 page paper summarizing what you found. Include the nutrition facts labels of each of the 4 products with your paper.
Which item would you choose if you wanted to get the most micronutrient nutrition (calcium, vitamin D, phosphorus)?
Which has the least?
How many servings of the product you chose would you need to consume to meet the RDA for calcium (list the RDA in your answer)?
Do you think you are meeting your needs for calcium?
What could you do to increase your calcium intake?
