I used three days continues to recall and complete the first part of the Project. I chose three days continues because I wanted to know how well I ate and how active I was, so I can know what to do and what not to in order to stay active.

I consumed too much of Vitamin C, the recommended intake was 75.00mg, while I consumed 208.88mg, which means I consumed 133.88mg more than recommended, which was twice the recommended intake.

Furthermore, I consumed more fats as well, my fat intake was 56.37g while the recommended was 47.34g, saturated fat intake was 17.98g while the recommended was 15.22g, vitamin A was 703.73mcg while recommended was 700.00mcg, which was very close to the recommended intake. Vitamin B2 was 1.20mg and recommended intake was 1.10mg. Carbohydrates recommended intake was 209.22g while my actual intake was 238.25g.

My grain intake was 78%, which in amount was 3.9 oz equivalent, the recommended intake which was a 100% was equivalent to 5.0 oz. It was clear I needed to aim for at least 2.5 whole grains a day. My vegetables intake was 69%, which in amount was 1.4 cup equivalent, the recommended intake in amount was 2.0 cup
