Introduction
Carbohydrates are a key energy source for the body, but some carbohydrate-containing foods are more healthful than others. With this exercise, you will evaluate dietary carbohydrate, fiber, and sugar intake and compare them with the current dietary recommendations.
In this activity, you will explore your carbohydrate intake and compare your values with the current dietary recommendations.
This activity can be completed using the AnalyzeMyDiet tool linked from your LaunchPad course or any dietary analysis software that provides the daily average amount of vitamins consumed.
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 a good representative of your typical diet.
- Click “Show Report” to download your Nutrition Report.
- Within the report, you will see the value (average eaten) and percent (completion of target consumption) for each nutrient.
- You will also need values from the “MyPlate” report.
