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 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 food intake 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.

Repeat the above steps for the “Calorie Assessment” report.

For more instructions and help using AnalyzeMyDiet, please visit the help page.

2.1 Build Your Grid

For this activity you will need two reports: Calorie Assessment and Bar Graph. These reports can be accessed individually or as part of the Combination Report in AnalyzeMyDiet.

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