Three Day Diet Analysis | 2

When comparing my diet to the recommendations that I received from the Food Guide

Pyramid, I found that there is quite a bit that I could work on to maintain a healthier diet. In the

milk category I averaged 0.4 cups, which is much lower than the recommended 3.0 cup

equivalent. I had virtually no fruit intake, and my vegetable intake was only 0.8 cup equivalent.

My meat and beans group average was a bit closer at a 6.5 ounces equivalent, which is not bad

when considering the recommendation is 9.1 ounces equivalent. In the remaining group,

however, I seem to have no problem falling short of the recommended intake. My grain intake

averaged 9.2 ounces equivalent, which is just above the recommended intake of 9 ounces

equivalent.

To modify my diet to accommodate the recommended servings, I will need to begin

consuming more fruits, vegetables, and milk. I have a very bad habit when it comes to eating. I

usually skip breakfast, at lunch I have a piece of bread or something small to hold me until

dinner, and finally I have a huge dinner with dessert. After dinner I snack constantly until I go to

bed around midnight. I could start my change in diet by eating a morning breakfast, perhaps a

bowl of cereal with a serving of fruit followed by a glass of milk, protein shake, or juice. I could

also start eating lunch regularly. A proper lunch, like a sandwich with chips and a glass of milk

or water, is definitely needed. As far as dinner goes, I typically get a good portion of every food

group except fruit; however, eating some fruit with breakfast, and throughout the day, would

solve that. I also agree that I should eat more vegetables with my dinner rather than eating

mostly grain and meat.
