Name: DAP Part 5: Evaluation of your Micronutrient Intake To get started, run the following MyDietAnalysis reports: Actual Intakes –vs– Recommended Intakes—This should be 1 report that includes both days of your 2-day diet log. You may use the same 2-day diet log as you did in Part 1 of this project, or you may record a new 2-day diet for this specific part of the project. Single Nutrient Report for Sodium - Select “Sodium” from the dropdown menu. Run 1 report that includes both days in your 2-day diet log. Single Nutrient Report for Potassium - Select “Potassium” from the dropdown menu. Run 1 report that includes both days in your 2-day diet log. Complete, save (PDF is preferable), and submit to Canvas all 3 of the reports listed above. Objective: To become aware of the micronutrient intake in your diet and how your intake compares to the Dietary Guidelines for Americans. Excerpt from 2015-2020 Dietary Guidelines for Americans (from: https://health.gov/dietaryguidelines/2015/guidelines/) ● Consume a variety of nutrient-dense foods and beverages within and among the basic food groups while choosing foods that limit the intake of saturated and trans fats, cholesterol, added sugars, salt, and alcohol. ● Choose foods that provide more potassium, calcium, and vitamin D, which are nutrients of concern in American diets. ● Reduce daily sodium intake to less than 2,300 mg. Micronutrient Evaluation Part 1: Complete the table below using the Actual Intakes –vs– Recommended Intakes Report. Please read the footnotes below to fill in this table properly. Note: mcg and g = micrograms, mg=milligrams. Nutrient Vitamin D (ug) Calcium (mg) Iron (mg) a. b. Targeta Use 5 mcgd Your 2-day Average Eaten Statusb 2 additional foods you would eat to meet the DRIc ● ● ● ● ● ● Target: Use the Recommendation (Rec.) column of the report to fill in this column. Status: Use the Actual column of the report to fill in this column. You should answer: Under, Over, or OK. c. d. List 2 additional foods you would eat to meet the Target. These should be 2 foods good or high in each specific nutrient (vitamin D, calcium or iron). Even if you met the goal, list two foods you did not eat during the 2 days but would be willing to eat in the future. The DRI for vitamin D is 15mcg, which includes sun exposure. We are assuming you need to consume ~5 mcg from food for this assignment. Reflect on Your Micronutrient Intake 1. Are you currently taking a vitamin/mineral supplement? If so, what type? YES NO 2. Nutrition experts state that most healthy people can meet their nutrient requirements from food alone. Looking at your Actual Intakes –vs– Recommended Intakes and the micronutrients you would need to change in order to meet all your needs, could you change what you are eating to meet your entire micronutrient needs from food? Discuss why or why not you think this might be possible and how you would begin to meet this goal. For full credit, write at least 1 paragraph. 3. Are you meeting the recommended intake for calcium, iron, and vitamin D? Briefly discuss why Americans (particularly females) are encouraged to aim for the recommended levels of calcium, vitamin D, and iron in their diets in relation to disease prevention and/or preventing deficiency. For full credit, write at least 1 paragraph. Micronutrient Evaluation Part 2: Complete the tables below for sodium and potassium intake using the Single Nutrient Report for Sodium and Single Nutrient Report for Potassium. Nutrient Average Eaten Status: Over, Under or OK Sodium (mg) (goal: < 2300 mg)* Potassium (mg) (goal: >4700 mg) * This goal is used for persons not at risk for hypertension. If you have high blood pressure or at risk for hypertension, use 1,500 mg/day as your goal. List the top 2 sources of sodium in your diet. Hint: On the report, foods are listed in order of highest to lowest. High sodium food sources % Contribution of sodium to intake mg of sodium Suggest a lower sodium substitute for this food* mg sodium per serving * An appropriate substitution is one that contains at least 25% less sodium than your original choice and is in the same food group or contains roughly the same nutritional quality. You can use the Diet Tracker to search other foods; click on a listed food to examine the nutritional content. Sodium is listed under “Minerals”. Select substitutes that would appropriately replace a high-sodium food in your diet. For example, a pork chop would be an appropriate substitute for ham; 2 slices of toast would not be an appropriate substitution as it is not in the same food group and provides a different nutrient profile to our diet. Remember to consider the serving size! Comparing 2 cups of regular soup to 1 cup of low-sodium soup is not a fair comparison. 4. Using the Actual Intakes –vs– Recommended Intakes report, are you meeting the recommended intake for potassium? Yes No If yes, answer question “a” below. If no, answer question “b”. a. You answered “yes”. Identify 3 food sources you are consuming that are rich in potassium. Report to use: Single Nutrient Report for Potassium b. You answered “no”. List 2 foods (or 1 food and 1 beverage) that you will try to consume to improve your potassium intake. 5. Briefly discuss why Americans are encouraged to aim for the recommended levels of sodium and potassium in their diets in relation to disease prevention. Again for full credit write 1-2 paragraphs equal to 100-300 words. You will need to refer to your lecture notes and book chapters to answer this essay question Submit all of the following to Canvas for grading: This document, completed.

a) No I am not taking mineral/vitamin supplement
b) From the meals that I have been taking, the daily intake for vitamin D and iron is low
while that for calcium is normal. For vitamin D, major sources come from the diet and
sun exposure since the vitamin is synthesi...
