Introduction

Fats, or lipids, are a key component of any healthy diet, but it’s important to know if we’re getting too little healthful fat, too much harmful fat, or too much fat in general. In this exercise, you will evaluate your fat intake, break down the various types of fats you consume on an average day, and compare them with the current dietary recommendations.

In this activity, you will identify the sources of lipids in your diet and compare the amount you get 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. 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 a good representative of your typical diet or as specified by your instructor.
  • Click “Show Report” to download your report.
  • Within the report, you will see the value (average consumption per day), goal (daily target), and Percent (completion of target consumption) for each nutrient.
  • You will also need data from the “Calorie Assessment” report. Download this report to retrieve Intake (% Calories) data.
  • You will also need data from “Spreadsheet Report”. Download this report to retrieve food specific data.

2.1 Build Your Grid

Use the Bar Graph report to find your data and enter it into the three grids below using only numerical values and decimal points (if needed).

Please Note: Do not round calculations. For example, 69.99% should be entered as 69.99%.
