Record your food and drink intake for 3 days. Try to be as accurate as possible in recording portion sizes.

Choose a diet analysis program to set up an account and record your intake. Suggestions include and . The program must provide an analysis report of all vitamins and minerals (micronutrients) as well as carbohydrates, fats, and proteins (macronutrients).

Write a 2-page report (in APA format) comparing your current intake to your DRIs and food group recommendations. Discuss where you are deficient in both micro- and macronutrients and what steps you can take to correct these deficiencies by providing examples of foods you can include in or remove from your diet, or other changes you can make (for example, packing your lunch). Be sure to reference the program used and include a screenshot of the analysis of your intake.
