Personal Food Diary (graded, 25 points)

In Units 1, 3, 5, and 7, you will be posting a 24-hour food and activity diary. The purpose of this discussion is to help explore your own dietary habits and assess eating behaviors. Using MyPlate.gov, you will be able to observe a snapshot of your personal behaviors. Each unit will have a different focus on specific nutritional concepts. In addition to your initial post of the food and activity diary, you will examine one other student’s diary from a nursing perspective and offer feedback on ways to promote healthy living.

In this unit, we will explore supplements and antioxidants in your diet. How did you stack up against the RDA determined back in Unit 1? Thinking back over the units, how have you done in comparison to the unit requirements? What could you change?
