a. If you were above or below the recommended amount list 3 foods that would
help you meet your recommendations.
Since carbohydrate intake was generally below recommended value and protein
and fat were concurrently over recommended value, a carbohydrate such as brown
rice, whole wheat pasta, oatmeal, or banana would help adjust consumption to meet
all goals.
6. List the micronutrients that you were below the recommended amounts, from each of
the websites/programs.
a. Chose 3 micronutrients that were below the recommendation; list 3 foods that
would help increase EACH of these micronutrients (3 micronutrients x 3 foods =
9 foods!).

The Body Mass Index formula assumes that adult height is stable and that any increase in
scale weight is a result of an increase in body fat.
Metric BMI Formula:
BMI = Weight (kilograms) / Height2 (meters)
BMI = 59.0 / (1.6)2
BMI = 59.0 / 2.56
BMI = 23.0
What category (normal weight, overweight, etc.) does your BMI put you in?
Overweight for adults is defined as a body mass index (BMI) between 25 and 29.9 and
obesity is defined as a BMI > 30. Therefore, according to the BMI calculation, I am
considered normal in weight.
Do you feel BMI accurately reflects your health and body weight? Why or Why not?
BMI is body weight assessed relative to body height, and is a screening tool for the
general population that helps individuals determine a healthy weight range. The BMI
formula assumes that adult height is stable and that any increase in scale weight is a result of
an increase in body fat. However, it is inappropriate to use BMI with pregnant females
(whose increase in weight is due to more muscle, ft, blood, and fluid, as well as the
developing fetus), people who have decreased in height because of osteoporosis, or trained
athletes. Its inappropriate for trained athletes typically have more skeletal muscle and less
body fat than sedentary adults.
I feel that BMI fairly accurately reflects my health and body weight because I fit into the
general population. However, even though Im not a trained athlete, I am an active person
with good cardiovascular fitness and muscle mass.
9. Conclusion:
Based on what you learned from your analysis of your 3-day food record, what are 3
change(s) would you make to your diet?
Before this analysis I was unaware that I was generally below the RDA for some
important micronutrients such as vitamins A, D, C, iron, and calcium. I had some idea that I
would be below recommended fiber and water intake. I would incorporate more whole
grains into my diet along with more nutrient dense foods like sweet potatoes, salmon, whole
fruits, and dark green vegetables. Additionally, I would make it a daily goal to consume
eight glasses of water, especially on high active days. I think that the recommendation for
daily calorie intake is higher than it should be for me. In my personal experience, if I
consume more than about 1,500 calories a day, my body weight begins to rise. I think that
my current weight is healthy and gaining any weight is not recommended to improve my
health.
How do you plan on implementing the change(s)?
The best way to implement real change is to first understand the goal or deficiency. I
believe keeping track of my food intake on a daily basis is the best way to begin implementing
4
more nutrients into my diet. Also, I think that reading labels and measuring portions is a good
way to keep calorie intake optimal. Id also like to have a test done to determine my resting
metabolic rate (RMR) so that I can properly maintain my weight. Also, Id like to set a daily
goal to consume more water by carrying a 32 oz container with me to work.
gives you the option of creating your own foods, which can personally be verified for
accuracy.
4. Would you recommend these websites/programs? To whom? Why or Why not?
I would recommend all three to anybody who was looking to lose weight or increase
overall health. Just keeping track of the food you eat helps motivate and educate people to
make good nutritional choices. No one website is perfect or has every tool, but I think that
having a simple and convenient way to keep track of food consumption is the best way to
make positive changes in diet and exercise habits.
