Personal Diet Analysis

Introduction

Nutrition is the basis of human survival. It sustains human beings by ensuring they are endlessly supplied with energy and nutrients necessary for growth and development. For instance, one needs to take body-building food such as proteins for tissues to mature and develop. However, nutrition needs to be good to ensure the above benefits. Poor nutrition, including lack of adequate food and an unbalanced diet, causes disease outbreaks and other body failures. From the explanation, it is evident that nutrition is essential for human survival. People's well-being and conduct are greatly influenced by the foods they eat. That is as well important for dental health.

Food Group Serving Amounts

From vegetable class, I take at least a plate of vegetable salad each day with an additional cup of low-fat milk, especially after breakfast, from the dairy group. Additionally, I take chicken twice a week during midday meals from the meat group. Unfortunately, I do not take fruits frequently. That calls for the alert to start consuming them at least once daily. However, I take reasonable amounts of water daily. White rice never misses in my meals, at least once a day. Despite that, my intake of seafood, especially salmon fillet, is recommendable. Based on MyPlate result, I still need to include grains, fruits, and vegetables in my meals.

Scoring the Sweets

I have made amendments to reduce the intake of cariogenic meals. For instance, I decided to consume chocolate not more than twice a week. I never consume high amounts of fat and sugar food, such as full-sugar soft drinks and biscuits. I am determined to avoid them for my good.

Modifying Diet

I am used to taking white meat. I feel that I should change by replacing chicken with red beef. I plan to switch from white rice to brown rice three times a week. Also, I need to eat fruits, at least once a day, to ensure I gain the necessary vitamins for my body. I also need to add more meals, including vegetables.
