Introduction
The minerals that play critical roles in human health are divided into two categories: major minerals and trace minerals. Major minerals have a daily requirement of 100 milligrams or more, while trace minerals have a daily requirement of less than 100 milligrams. Neither type can be synthesized by the body, so they must be ingested through the diet. With narrow ranges of safe intake, minerals can also be over-consumed.
This activity can be completed using the AnalyzeMyDiet tracker from within your LaunchPad course. Click on the AnalyzeMyDiet link found on your LaunchPad home screen.
To complete the activity using AnalyzeMyDiet:
- If you have not already completed the AnalyzeMyDiet Tutorial and tracked at least one day’s nutrition and activity, do so first.
- Within AnalyzeMyDiet, go to the Reports tab.
- Select “Bar Graph” on the left.
- Select the day(s) that are representative of your typical diet or as specified by your instructor.
- Click “Show Report” to download your report.
For more instructions and help using AnalyzeMyDiet, please visit the help page.
5.1 Build Your Grid
For this activity you will need the Bar Graph report. This report can be accessed individually or as part of the Combination Report in AnalyzeMyDiet.
Use the Bar Graph report to find your data and enter it into the grid below using only numerical values and decimal points.
Please Note: You can find your percent by referring to your report, or calculate by dividing your intake by your target. If hand-calculating, round to the nearest whole number.
| Minerals | Target | Intake | Percent (Completion of target consumption) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Calcium (mg) | A1 | A2 | A3 |
| Potassium (mg) | B1 | B2 | B3 |
| Sodium (mg) | C1 | C2 | C3 |
| Copper (mg) | D1 | D2 | D3 |
| Iron (mg) | E1 | E2 | E3 |
| Magnesium (mg) | F1 | F2 | F3 |
| Phosphorus (mg) | G1 | G2 | G3 |
| Selenium (μg) | H1 | H2 | H3 |
| Zinc (mg) | I1 | I2 | I3 |
| Water (L) | J1 | J2 | J3 |
