Dietary Analysis

Hello I am in a programme to prepare me for nursing next year one of my assignment is in food and nutrition which I have to keep a dietary dairy for 3 days recorded and than work from there. corificeing a Dietary nurtrient table. My question is can some please suggest a site where I can find a sample of this table for I cannot start answering the question without the table with the dietary consumption of my diet I will start recording this weekend. My assignment is due on September but I would like to start on it early. Any suggestion is most appreciated.

Thank you in advance

    Man I hate when they ask all of this highly personal information -- it is none of their business.

    You can track this stuff nicely at Calorie Counter, Diet Tracking, Food Journal, Nutrition Facts at The Daily Plate

    It is free to use it and it tracks the major classes. Another one is Calorie Counter Database - Free Online Diet Program

    Good luck. This is just the beginning of the invasive questions. We had to report on our CAD risks including BMI, if we had diabetes, our exercise profile and lipids. Unreal.

    I did that for my nutrition class as well. The program they are going to make you use is a bit different than what dolce gave you, but it will be easy enough to fill in when you have the right info. You need your serving size, and calories per serving type thing. It's real easy. I also had to answer a series of questions from that information that the teacher gave us. It turned into maybe a 3-5 page report where you analysed the vitamins and nutrients of what you ate. But the program gives you all that based off your serving size of the item. But yeah, use any of those sites or another is sparkpeople.com.

    They gave you a specific program to do this?

    They all work from amount consumed so I am not seeing a difference -- unless you are tracking vitamins and minerals too.

    Why if you are looking something that includes micronutrient tracking, wouldn't you use USDA - CNPP - MyPyramid Tracker ?

    Thank you choColate and Dolvce Vita for those sites and yes this assignment is about 7 pages and all the answers to the Question will be based from that table I am so so so stress about it once again thank you.

    Yeah, we could have bought the program or used it at our library which I did. It's a template that you just enter the amount and name and the program fills in all the vitamins and minerals. We had to print that report out then the teacher gave us questions to answer. But we had to record our three days on our own on just a sheet of plain paper. But I was a member (free) at sparkpeople at the time so just tracked my three days there then inputted into the program assigned. Our questions would be like "How much vitamin C did you average? Was it high/low, what would too high/ too low cause" type stuff. I took it 2 years ago so I don't fully recall but it was easy enough to do.

    I would use the mypyramid one that Dolce/Viking gave out for ease of use.

    If you want to get fancy you can use FitDay - Free Weight Loss and Diet Journal . They have all these fancy looking pie charts that you can print out.

    I'm taking nutrition over summer and we had to use FitDay. It's pretty comprehensive, but finding foods with the right nutritional values was kind of tricky. Most of them were pretty close, though.
