a. Using Appendix H of your text, determine how much vitamin A you took in. Show your work to
include DA+ code numbers. If your menu item is not listed in Appendix H, use the entry closest
to what you ate.
Answer:
According to the Appendix H, the amount of vitamin A I have taken in daily is equal to
approximated 66,000 IU, as shown in the following calculation that includes the DA+ code
numbers:
Food
Vitamin
A (IU)
DRI/DV
Beef Liver
14363
> 100%
Carrots
21384
> 100%
Sweet
potato
18443
> 100%
Kale
6693
> 100%
Spinach

Apricots

13%
Broccoli
567
11%
Butter
355
7%
Eggs
302
6%
TOTAL
65594
Total amount of vitamin A = 14363 + 21384 + 18443 + 6693 + 2813 + 674 + 567 + 355 + 302
= 65594 IU
b. Using the DRI table (page B) what is your daily requirement for vitamin A and have you met it?
Why or why not? Should you be overly concerned? Why or why not?
Answer:
According to the DRI table, my daily requirement for vitamin A is approximately 500% and I have
met the requirement, as shown in the following calculation:
Daily value (DV) > 100% + 100% + 100% + 100% + 56% + 13% + 11% + 7% + 6%
> 496%
Hence, I should be overly concerned because the amount of vitamin A I took daily is far
exceeded the regular requirement for daily value.
c. What food groups are considered to be good sources of vitamin A in the American diet?
