minerals, fiber, protein, etc.) you consume that fall less than your goals. List food sources for each of those nutrients. Do you have any concerns about the low levels of these nutrients in your diet? Why or why not? - The nutrients that ended up falling short for me were carbohydrates (and the specific carbohydrate- dietary fiber), water, certain vitamins such as Thiamin and Niacin, calcium, Vitamin D, and the essential fatty acids Linoleic and Linolenic acid. I do have concerns about the low levels of these nutrients in my diet because I want to make sure I am getting all the necessary averages. However, I know even if I am not meeting all the goals for nutrients I know I eat well. The food sources for carbohydrates would be the pesto pasta and the penne pasta meal I had for dinner on 4/29. For certain vitamins such as thiamin and niacin the food sources would be meat products like pork chops, fish such as salmon, brown rice, all of which I did not include in those 3 days of eating and usually don't. Essential fatty acids like Linoleic and Linolenic are certain oils like vegetable oils or poultry products. Calcium would be plant sources such as broccoli or cucumber, milk, cheese, bread, boiled eggs, or nuts such as almonds. Vitamin D would be eggs, fatty fish, or milk. 5. List the nutrients you consume in excess of/over your goals. State whether your excess consumption is of any health concern, i.e. does it exceed the tolerable upper intake level or other nutritional guidelines and/or contribute to your risk of disease? List the major food sources in your diet for these nutrients. - The nutrients that I consumed excess of was protein, fat (total), saturated fat, vitamin C, Vitamin K, and Sodium. Yes, the fat and saturated fat is a concern for me when looking at health concerns just because I know how dangerous excess fat can be over time. So, yes it does contribute to the risk of certain diseases and exceeds the tolerable upper intake level. However, I am not seriously concerned as I know other people go even higher than I did during those 3 days I recorded. The major food sources in my diet
