What is the AMDR for fat in the adult diet?

Has your perception of dietary fat changed, and if so how?

Below is a sample one-day menu for Mrs. Smith. Her doctor just told her she is at risk for developing heart disease since her cholesterol is a little high.

The doctor has asked her to meet with a registered dietitian to learn more about heart-healthy fats to include and which unhealthy fats to limit. She hopes to meet with a dietitian next week, but in the meantime, she needs help making these changes.

List five suggestions for Mrs. Smith’s diet. Provide only changes that address the goals with her meal planning as mentioned above. Tell her which food she should omit/change and with what you would replace it. You may also change portion sizes. Highlight (yellow only please) or bold the item you are changing and then write the change next to that.

You must also include what the change addresses (i.e. increasing/including heart-healthy fats, decreasing unhealthy fats, or increasing fiber)
