I only need step 2 and step 3 complete. Please read the instructions thoroughly.
STEP 1: Complete three full days (24 hours each) of food journaling. (COMPLETE)
- Use the guidelines in the Unit 2 assignment for food journaling plus consider the grading feedback for the Unit 2 assignment: Food Journaling & Carbohydrates and Unit 3 Assignment: Analyzing Lipid Profile. Use the previous assignments and feedback to ensure you include all the information you’ll need to enter your data into the nutrient analysis software, Cronometer.
- You are expected to use your previously submitted food journals after completing your edits. Make sure to correct any errors or omissions based on grading feedback you received on the the previous two assignments.
- Make sure to submit one document that includes all intakes for each of the three days clearly separated by dates.
- Please include three separate dates within this course's timeframe.
- Special Note: If you are concerned about your food journaling skills and wish for a review before submission, reach out to your instructor via email at least 72 hours before this assignment due date for a possible opportunity to have your journals reviewed (ungraded) before moving on to Steps 2 and 3. Your instructor will aim to accommodate all requests for reviews but will alert you if they are unable to do so.
STEP 2: Enter data into Cronometer (Cronometer.com), the nutrient analysis software. You must use this specific software to complete the project. Other free analysis software may not contain all the required information needed for this project. Note: If you have an accommodation that does not work with Cronometer, please alert your instructor immediately.
- Download the Unit 4 Assignment Step 2 Instructions which includes images to help you complete this step.
- You must include images of the entire Nutrition Report that you obtain from Cronometer starting from the date range of the report to the end of the micronutrients (both columns).
- Your images of the Nutrition Report can be in one document or multiple image files, depending on how you copy the report. You may submit as a PDF, Word document, or image files, but the file(s) must be able to be opened or you will not receive credit for this assignment. If no images of the Nutrition Report are submitted, you will receive a “0” and your instructor will reach out to discuss next steps.
STEP 3: Three nutrient tables (MS Word Document) must be filled out completely with both your intake and your recommended intake.
- Your intake information will come from the Cronometer report. Remember that the Cronometer results are an average of your daily intake over the three days of food journaling. For example, if the report shows you’ve consumed an average of 60 grams of protein per day, it means you consume that amount per day on average.
- There are three tables. One each for calories, macronutrients, and micronutrients. All must be completed for this assignment.
- NOTE: To assist with completing Table 3 Micronutrients, you can use the linked PDF for the Reference Tables for RDA/AI and UL
