For a three-day period, consisting of Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, I logged my food intake for each meal in a program called Mydietanalysis.com. This way, I could compare what the program said about my nutritional food consumption with what my assumptions were. My hypotheses which I will delve into in my essay on the data I collected are: that I ate too many calories so my energy would be low enough, the food groups I got enough of from MyPlate were dairy and grains and that vegetables would be low, and minerals I got enough of were calcium, potassium and iron, however, too much calcium and too little iodine. Looking at the MyPlate analytics report, my findings covered what I thought in a few areas. My results against MyPlate recommendations were off. In most categories I needed to consume more. The only category where I came close to consuming the recommended amount was dairy. My intake was 2.5 ounces and the recommended amount was 3 ounces. The other categories I didn't do very well in were grains, vegetables, fruits and proteins. My grain intake was 7.4 ounces and the recommended amount was 9 ounces. Fruit consumption was 0.5 cup and the recommended amount was 2 cups. Protein intake was 4.8 ounces and the recommended amount was 6.5 ounces. Vegetables were the worst, I consumed 1.4 cups but the recommended amount was 3.5 cups. As for my hypothesis I was right about a couple of things. I consume more daily than other food groups. I was also right that I don't eat as many vegetables as I should. To consume more vegetables I will add peppers, mushrooms, pumpkin, etc. In my eggs. I fit more veggies into my lunches and dinners by planning ahead to get 3.5 cups of veggies and more. For… middle of the paper… the first is to increase my vegetable intake by 4 servings and fruit by 2 servings, which will also increase my dietary fiber. To do this I'll put my fruit and vegetables in a bag, so all I have to do is grab and go. I will decrease my protein intake slightly by looking at where the protein comes from. For example, the grilled cheese shows 25.8 coming from the sandwich and that seems very high for something that isn't healthy. Same thing with Papa John's pizza, said 2 slices of pepperoni and protein cheese are 29.4. Already. I will consume more dietary fiber by eating. I will reduce my sodium intake by 2000 mg per week. To make sure all these changes happen, I will continue to monitor my food to physically see how much I eat from each food group and set a goal to eat all the recommended portions I should eat.
