There is a slight difference between what eaTracker recommends and what the CFG suggests. The CFG is more lenient (7-8 and 6-7 for vegetables and Fruits, and Grain products, respectively) while eaTracker is more definitive for those values, 8 and 7 respectively. The values for milk and alternatives, and meat and alternatives is the same however, two for both. The difference might be due to the specific nature of eaTracker, it has my weight, height, specific age and gender, and my exercising habits, to gather data from while CFG only has my gender and age to narrow down recommendations from. Due to the difference in information eaTracker can be more specific as it is adjusted for me while CFG is made for the general public, relying on a lot of statistics to come to its conclusions (such as average height and weight of females in Canada).
c) Unfortunately, I have not met the recommended intake by eaTRackers standard for any of the food groups making my diet inadequate. For fruits and veggies I could have had one more in order to meet the standard, I could include a cup of raw zucchini to sprinkle with my salad. For the grain products, I can consume 2.15 cups of rice. I was close to the recommended servings for the diary and alternative if I add 0.5 cup of milk I would meet my standard. For the meat and alternatives I would need 1.2 servings to reach the standard, however as this is difficult to measure out I will go to 1.5 servings (I primarily get my protein from
Based on a 24 Hour Recall of my diet, results using NutriCalc Plus report that my food intake lacked a healthy balance of all food groups. My Grain intake reached only 60% of the My Plate daily recommendations. My Vegetable intake was a mere 50% of the recommended servings. Additionally, I consumed 84% of the daily recommendations for the Dairy Group. Nonetheless, I did exceed the recommendations for the Fruit Group and Protein Group with intakes of 155% and 107%, respectively.
Compared to the Table 2.7, I consumed foods from every food group this day. I didn’t have any groups missing, but I did consume less than the recommended value in milk, protein, grains, and oils. On the other hand, I ate approximately the recommended daily values of fruits and veggies. The quality of food

4) I cannot answer this question with the information presented, but it should be pretty straightforward to say which foods
Eating more healthy food is an important goal for me. It is because it helps myself healthier, and helps my body function right. Also, it helps me prevent a lot of diseases, and illness. From the food analysis journal I have early, I see that I need to balance on my eating. I need all five categories like grain, vegetable, fruit, dairy, and protein food. I am under eating on all of them. Since I am taking this class and realized how important of food to do our body, I will take an immediately action. I need to figure out what kind of food in each category I want to eat, and need to balance how much I can eat for each day.

After looking at the reports of my "Actual Intakes vs Recommended Intakes" and "Calorie Assessment", almost all the amount of nutrients I consumed did not reach 80 to 110 percent of the recommended level of nutrients intake. In this way, I need to set goals or change my diet to maintain health. For example, my intake of calories was 1,468.07, but the recommended intake of calories was 2,006.03 if I wanted to keep my current weight. According to my 3-day diet reports, I realized that I should eat more foods that contain healthy fats and more vitamins. Due to this, I should consume the food like meat, vegetables, and others. Also, I should be concerned about the macronutrients intake that are the primary nutrients to keep my body healthy.
Q6. Grains section: The daily average intake of grains depends on age, gender and if females are pregnant or not, a standard serve of grains is approximately 500kJ. A female that is aged between 14 and 20 years of age should consume an average daily portion of 5 serves of grain products. For women aged between 40 – 50 years of age should consume approximately 6 serves of grains daily. Males aged between 14 – 20 years old should consume approximately 7 serves of grains daily and males aged between 40 – 50 years should consume approximately 6 serves of grains per day. Both meals produced include an approximate 5 serves of grains, meal 1 includes; polenta, the spices (cinnamon, mustard powder etc.) and meal 2 includes; flour, cocoa powder and the baking agents.

This amount would more than supplement an individual for a month’s time until they could come back next month. As a short project, I am going to do my best to create a healthy monthly meal plan based on the ingredients I listed above. More fresh produce is also usually available, but it is on a take as you need basis, so I was sparing with the amount I place in the food
