Activity 19.3.5 – Analyze your diet
How balanced is your diet? Record the quantities of all foods you eat in a typical day. Enter these values into an Internet-based nutritional analysis service such as the Nutritional Analysis Tool [sciencesourcebook.com, nat.crgq.com; or search "nutritional analysis tool"]. Analyze your diet with respect to the USDA recommended daily allowances (RDA).
(1) Generate a graph or table of your diet (figure 19.8) and write a brief analysis, highlighting areas where your diet deviates significantly from the USDA’s recommended daily allowances.
(2) What can be done to improve your nutrition?
