Assignment 5 Part A

-

Recording Food Intake

Record food intake for 3 days

Write down everything you eat and drink for 3 days. (These should be 2 weekdays and 1 weekend day

-

they don't have to be consecutive. 'Weekends' are the days when you don't work, which may be not

Satu

rday or Sunday.) The more typical the days are for you, the more helpful it is for assessing nutrient

intakes and food patterns. It is a good idea to take a piece of paper with you throughout the

day……don’t try to remember everything you ate at the end of

the day. It is very easy to forget things

like sugar in coffee or chewing gum, etc.

Use Daily Food Record form (attached below). See Sample Daily Food Record as an example (also

attached).

List the food and its type and/or preparation. For example, fo

r milk, be sure to list the type of milk

--

whole milk, 2%, or skim milk. For chicken, be sure to list baked or fried, leg or thigh, with skin or

skinless, etc.

List the amount you consumed, using common household measurements like cups, ounces, slices,

t

ablespoons, teaspoons, etc. DO NOT use the words “bowl,” “serving,” or “glass.” Estimate your

portion sizes as accurately as you can. Use the Judging Portion Size guide (attached below). It is a good

idea to measure foods if you are not sure (i.e. measur

e breakfast cereal using a cup, or measure olive oil

using a tablespoon). List all of the ingredients separately in combination foods such as a salad or a sub

sandwich (see the Sample Daily Food Record).

Be sure to include any coffee, sugar, creamer, bu

tter, salad dressing, added salt, chewing gum, etc.

DO

NOT include any vitamin/mineral supplements you take but do include protein shakes. It is important

to assess your food intake on its own merits. Include plain water in your record.

Please proofread the work do not

submit with spelling & grammar errors.
