Nutrition Assignment:
____________________
For this assignment, you will maintain a food diary for three days using MyFitnessPal after which you will then write a nutritional self-assessment paper. In your paper, you will analyze your eating habits, food patterns, and nutrition intake.
______________________
It is preferable to record your food intake for at least one non-school day or one non-weekday (for example, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, or Sunday, Monday, Tuesday).
________________________
It is important that you take time each day to record your food, drink, and drug intake rather than relying on your memory. An honest, detailed diary will help you gain a better understanding of yourself personally and professionally.
_______________
Take screenshots of your MyFitnessPal food diary to include in your analysis paper. At the end of the three days, print the final report in MyFitnessPal to include with your written paper.
__________________
Your paper should be 58 pages in length including the screenshots.
Attach a copy of your final report from MyFitnessPal along with your completed nutrient spreadsheet with your paper.
