Introduction
In this assignment we were asked to keep a food journal for 1 day to test if we were
getting the proper amount of nutrition in an average day. After turning in the food journal we
were given back a complete paper with our data including our total calories, protein,
carbohydrates, fat, saturated fat, calcium, Iron, Sodium, vitamin D, vitamin C, and Folate levels.
Then we were asked to calculate the recommended daily amount against the intake we had in
the day we kept the food journal to test if we met the recommended daily amounts for us.

which did not meet the recommended daily amount. The recommended daily amount of
saturated fat is less than 10% and my intake was 14.5%, which did not meet the recommended
daily amount. The recommended daily amount of carbohydrates is more than 55% and my

amount. The recommended daily amount for fiber is 30 grams and my intake was 16.4 grams,
which did not meet the recommended daily amount. The recommended daily amount of

amount for vitamin D is 600 milligrams and my intake was 1.313 milligrams which did not meet
the recommended daily amount. The recommended daily amount for calcium is 1,000-1,200
milligrams, my intake was 944.2 milligrams which did not meet the recommended daily
