The more specific you are in completing your Food Record, the more accurate the results of your choosemyplate analysis. Dear class: The Government of the USA canceled the use of “supertraker”, for that reason I am suggestingthe use of “myfitnesspal” tool instead, to complete your HUN1201 project. Nonetheless, if you have used any other onesoftware of you preference it is OK with me. Read carefully about the requirements needed to accomplish to complitethe HUN 1201 project Review the food groups on www.choosemyplate.gov (previously the Food Guide Pyramid). Explore the food groups and portions listed under each of the food groups. Explore oils and empty calories as well. There are pictures which provide a visual image of the portion size of some foods, assisting you in portion estimation for this project.4. Enter all physical activity that you participated over the 3 days into the Physical Activity Tracker.5. Once you have completed entering foods and physical activity.You will download the following Three day average reports: (remember to select the date ranges to include all 3 days).1. Food Groups and Calories2. Nutrients3. Physical Activity6. Save each 3 day average in an MS Word document format. At this point, combine all three reports into ONE MS word document.7. You will then use the reports to complete your written summary portion of this assignment.NOTE: Only one document will be graded. The last document uploaded, will be graded. Therefore you MUST combine all reports and the nutrient anaylsis written analysis as ONE document.Step 3: Written Analysis of Nutrient Intake ReportsYou will write an analysis of your dietary intake answering the questions stated below using all of your three days average data reports, your textbook, slides, and choose my plate.gov website. Do not use other websites to validate your conclusions. Use only the course provided resources andChoose My Plate website.See examples for analysis for each of the reports below.What is an analysis? Remember, an analysis is using the data (your reports) to make conclusions and validating your conclusions using references such above resources.1. Food Groups and Calories Report (10 pts possible)• Review your Food Groups and Calories Report and use the data to write a detailed analysis describing your intake from each of the food groups.• For each of the food groups, discuss the reasons your intake either exceeds, meets or is below the your Target : Grains, Vegetables, Fruits, Dairy, Protein Foods and include Oils, Total empty calories.• For each of the food groups make suggestions where changes could be made to meet your Target amounts by including examples of foods you could increase or decrease your intake to better meet your target.Example: My intake of fruits exceeded my target goals. I ate a serving of strawberries, an apple and 16 ounces of fruit juice which, according to Choosemyplate.gov, Fruit groups, put me over by 2 servings of fruit. I will reduce the portion of fruit juice by 8 ounces to decrease my servings from the fruit group.2. Nutrients Report (10 pts possible)Review your three day average Nutrients report and write an analysis of your Intake for all Macro and Micronutrients compared to your Target for each of them.Use the textbook chapters and course content materials on Carbohydrates, Lipds, Protein, Vitamins and Minerals and cite references from the text to back up your analysis. In your analysis, use examples of foods you ate or did not eat that contributed to the deficiency, helped you meet your target, or contributed to excess intake.• Provide SPECIFIC foods, not just food groups and State what the possible health risks are that are associated with your results.• Use your text and course content to analyze your intake of ALL nutrients. See APA referencing format.Example: I was deficient in my calcium intake. I ate only 60% of my Target for calcium. I did not consume enough high calcium foods such as almond milk (Understanding nutrition pg. 403) or vegetables such as broccoli into my meals to increase the amount of calcium. If I do not consume enough calcium I could lose calcium from my bones causing osteoporosis in the future (Understanding Nutrition, pg. 404). I am lactose intolerant so it’s difficult for me to get in enough calcium but, I could use soy and lactose free cheese since those are high calcium foods (Choosemy plate.gov, Dairy) I like to eat.3. Physical Activity Report (10 pts possible)Use citations from your textbook to validate your responses. Include the following in your analysis.• Summarize and assess the MIE data from your report. Be specific.• What is the impact your current level of physical activity may have on your health over both the short term and long term?• State how you could improve your activity level if you are under. If you meet or are over your MIE, state the long term benefits you will gain from your current activity.• State future fitness goals.• Include references to support your statements.Example: My current activity based on my Physical Activity Report shows that my MIE is 60 MIEs. My goal is 150 MIEs. I need to include more moderate intensity activity to meet my goal of 150 MIEs per week. I also did not do any Muscle-Strengthing activities. I have been walking three times a week for 80 minutes but at a low intensity. I can increase my intensity by walking faster and including at least one more day a week into my activity schedule. I can include more muscle strengthening activities two days a week by lifting light weights for 15 minutes or gardening for 1 hour.Increasing my intensity of walking will include aerobic activity. Aerobic activity can improve cardiorespiratory endurance (Understanding Nutrition, pg.442.) Muscle strengthening activity can improve bone mass. (Understanding Nutrition, pg 443.CHECKLIST:1.
