-I have low fat and carbohydrates intake and high protein intake.

The following is a list of suggestion of improvement:

· Increase my fat intake as from the food log my fat intake is very low.

· Decrease my fiber intake; this is because, from the chart, the intake amount is above that of the recommended amount.

· Decrease my sugar intake

· Increase my fluid intake to ease the digestion and egestion process. Water is the best option as it has no additional nutrients.

To ensure that I fully follow this menu, I will avoid skipping meals. I will not allow any office work deny me an opportunity to take lunch. I will also take small vegetable and fruit snack oftenly to ensure that my meals have the right nutrients content. Finally, I will ensure that financial strains no longer dictate my consumption behavior. I will dwell more on eating affordable and balanced meals. With all these as my priority, I hope to successfully eat right at all times.
