Compose and post your answers to the questions below (total word count ~250-300 words).Personal Case Study: Carbohydrate Consumption.
1. Check your Nutrition Facts Report and Macronutrient Distribution Report you have generated with NutritionCalc Plus in CONNECT and submitted during week 3 and answer the following question:

a) How does your total carbohydrate intake compares with the general recommendation that 45-65% of the calories we consume each day should be from carbohydrates?

2) Using your food intake data you have recorded with Nutrition Calc Plus in CONNECT during week 3, generate a new report: Single Nutrient Report for carbohydrates (for all three days combined). Answer the following questions:

a) What foods are you getting most of your total carbohydrate from (focus on the top 5-10 food items)?

b) Does your carbohydrate consumption fit into a healthy dietary pattern? Explain.

a) Which food groups represent nutrient-dense sources of carbohydrates?

b) How does your intake for those food groups compare to the recommendations?

4) Using you food intake data you have recorded with NutritionCalc Plus on CONNECT during week 3, generate a new report: Single Nutrient Report for fiber (for all three days combined) and review the information in your Nutrition Facts Report you have generated during week 3. Answer the following questions:

a) How does your dietary fiber intake compare to the recommended for your age and gender?

b) What foods are you getting most of your dietary fiber from?
