Diet Analysis
This is a 3 day dietary recall and nutrient analysis which will provide you with the opportunity to become aware of your eating habits and nutrients you consume. You will be graded on the quality of your work, NOT the nutritional quality of your diet. The purpose of this assignment is to help you make the connection between your diet and what you learn in class.
