The purpose of this assignment is to learn about food awareness and realistic goal setting. You will start out by logging what you eat each day and how much physical activity you participate in. Then you will move on to answering some questions regarding your intake. Please listen to the audio of me explaining this assignment.

Step 1 Journaling
Please start out by journaling what you ate for three days out of the week. Be specific about the food you eat; for example, don’t just write bagel if there was something on it. Instead you should write bagel with cream cheese.

4. If you are over on calories, sugars, carbs, protein, fat, and sodium, please discuss what you could do to meet the goals that are suggested by my fitness pal. For example, what could you do to decrease sugar or fat if you are over on the recommended amount? Do this for sodium, fat and protein as well. You may be under on protein which is important so what could you do to increase it. If your food intake is really good, discuss what you would tell a client who is over on calories, sugars, carbs, fat and sodium and under on protein.

5. Please go back and click on the reports tab and scroll down to fiber, iron and calcium separately and see what your intake is for the three days you entered. Are you meeting your goal for these minerals? If not, what could you add to your diet that could get you closer to meeting your goals. Discuss for all three days. (no print screen needed)
