Note: If needed, please review the project Overview in Week 3. comprises public domain material from the USDA. Next you will be correcting the menu so that it will meet the recommendations. You will need to make changes to foods. To do so, simply enter your corrected menu on a in Supertracker. That way you can access both the original analysis (Part II) and this re-analysis (Part III) as you prepare your final project. Youll also be able to review both menus and charts/graphs seamlessly using this approach. Please ask questions in the Ask the Professor area, as they arise. To create the corrected menu, check your original menu first for problems. If, for example, the original menu did not have 3 distinct meals and 2-3 distinct snacks, be sure to include those missed items in the corrected menu. You want the corrected menu to meet with current nutrition recommendations for frequency of food consumption. It is not necessary that the corrected menu include items enjoyed by your subject or be realistic with respect to the preferences and lifestyle of your subject. It is more important that you can demonstrate how to improve upon problem areas in a diet and identify foods that are higher or lower in certain nutrients. Once you have corrected the menu with the changes you think will make this meet the guidelines for your person (based on their height, weight, age), you are ready to reanalyze. Make sure you are analyzing the intake for a new day and not averaging this with the original intake analyzed back in Part II (Week 4). If any nutrient is still not meeting needs, you will need to work on making corrections so that your menu meets the criteria listed before. If changes are made, you will need to run this information again. Look and see which nutrients are too high or too low. Think about which foods on the menu are contributing these nutrients and start with changes there. Just a reminder, if you do need to make changes to the corrected menu, a new profile, nor date, does not need to be created. Just EDIT the information for the same day you already entered. This will save you a lot of time and will eliminate getting an average of two menus. To be considered a corrected menu, the following should be true: from Pixabay comprises public domain material. * If the person you are creating a menu for has very high calorie needs, you will likely need to exceed 200% for many of the vitamins and minerals because you will need a higher amount of total food provided to meet the calorie needs. Just make sure that the macro-nutrients are still within range, even at the higher calorie level. If you have a menu where the calorie needs are 2800+ you will be graded based on 300% instead of 200% for the high end of the range. Please refer back to your Nutrient Intake Report. *This plan is based on a 2200 Calorie allowance.
