Diet Project Narrative

 NFSC 240:  Human Nutrition

Skill Area:  Diet Analysis

Assignment Title:  Diet Project Narrative

What I learned:  In this assignment I learned how to record a 24-hour dietary intake and also input information into dietary analysis and analyze results.  I learned a lot about how my schedule influenced what I ate and figured out ways to modify my diet.

Reflection to assignment:  It was interesting to examine my own diet and see exact nutrients that were in excess/low.  It also helped seeing what exact days I was eating less healthy because of time restrictions.

Relevance to the profession:  Performing diet recalls is a very helpful procedure that is used often in the nutrition profession to help identify specific problems in individual’s diets.  Doing your own diet recall helps you get experience so you can help others do their own.
