Examine the carbohydrate content from the reports. Compare your actual intake to the recommended intake. Compare your findings with the recommendations in your textbook. Note areas in which your carbohydrate consumption is adequate and deficient.

Select each nutrient separately and show a different report for each nutrient. You may (but don’t have to) look at these reports if that helps you to get a better overall visual.

Examine the carbohydrate content from the reports. Compare your actual intake to the recommended intake. Compare your findings with the recommendations in your textbook. Note areas in which your carbohydrate consumption is adequate and deficient.

Once you examine the reports, complete the Personal Diet Analysis: Carbohydrates Template.

In addition to submitting the Personal Diet Analysis: Carbohydrates Template, use the following bolded headings to guide your answers to the questions below:

1. Explain how the foods you consume are contributing positively or negatively to your diet and health, highlighting at least 2 specific examples. Demonstrate your understanding of the connection between your chosen food and resulting health consequences.

2. Discuss the likelihood and ease of actually making the suggested changes noted in the above table. Explain your answer. If you don’t need to make changes because you met the requirements, be sure you completely filled out the table above and discuss here what you are doing right to meet your nutritional needs.

As you complete this assignment, consider fiber, sugar, complex carbohydrates, nutrient density, and calories in your discussion. This is your opportunity to demonstrate your mastery of the subject matter.

General broad answers do not earn as many points as specific examples. Multiple, specific, and applicable suggestions for improvement help demonstrate your mastery of the material and your understanding of how to manipulate a diet.

Be sure to use one of the textbooks and at least one other scholarly journal to support your answers. (Be sure to use a total of two references.) In addition to the assigned reading, you may use any of the Appendices in the back of the textbook for ideas.

All citations must be in current AMA format.
