My Diet Analysis Jacob A. Krueger SPHE295 Foundations of Nutrition Instructor: Professor Jennifer Moxley 12 May 2022 1
My Diet Analysis My Diet Analysis During my diet analysis, I discovered that I did not meet the daily food group recommendations for grains, fruits, dairy, and vegetables. I fell short of these dietary intakes on both of my weekday recordings. I only achieved the recommended amounts of protein intake for both days. My weekend diet analysis I did not meet the daily food group recommendations for only grains and dairy.

I normally eat an apple and banana for breakfast and sometimes a banana for a snack before bed, but this week we did not have as much fruit in the house.

I do not drink milk because I save it for my children to drink. I could replace my water at dinner with a glass of milk to help increase my daily intake or add milk to my protein shakes instead of water. Lastly, I fell short of vegetables 2 out of the 3 days. I was a little surprised by this because I normally eat a protein and a vegetable for lunch and dinner and that is it. For the 2
