Micronutrient Intake Activity

Use the data from your profile created in Week 4 regarding your micronutrient and fast-food intake. Be sure that your food intake included a day that you consumed fast food. If you did not consume any fast food, create a fast-food menu for one of the meals. 

Consider and discuss the following: 

• Please you must use the food intake file I have uploaded for this assignment

• How does your recorded micronutrient intake compare with the recommendations of the dietary reference intake?
• Was there an excess or lack of micronutrients from your fast-food intake?
• What diseases are you at risk of developing from ingesting too many or too little micronutrients?
• What modifications might you make to replace choices in your fast-food menu from the same eatery for a healthier alternative? What makes it a healthier alternative?
• What is the role of water in promoting health? What are some health issues a person can develop from chronic dehydration?
• What is the long-term outlook for individuals on a fast-food diet in terms of longevity and quality of life? Why are micronutrients necessary for longevity and quality of life?
