I was short by 4.5 servings of grain products and 2 servings of milk & alternatives. I was over by about 1.2 servings of meat & alternatives. I was within range for fruit & vegetables and unsaturated fat.
2. This reflects my typical eating habits for a day where I do minimal activity in terms of quantity of food consumed. Generally I eat something high in protein at least three times a day and the vegetables and fruit I consume will vary. I usually eat either eggs, ham, or tuna for breakfast with a piece of fruit and a piece of toast, a protein bar with a couple pieces of fruit for lunch, and chicken, beef, or fish for supper with potatoes, yam, sweet potato, rice, etc. For carbohydrates and often broccoli or a mixed salad for …show more content…
a. Dark green and orange vegetables:
- Yam
- Baby carrots
- Mixed vegetables
I consumed more than one serving of orange vegetables, however my intake of green vegetables would be less than one full serving as only the mixed vegetables contained any green vegetables.
b. Vegetables and fruits with little or no added fat, sugar, or salt:
- Oranges (2 medium)
- Mixed vegetables
- Baby carrots
The yam had salt added to them so they have been excluded. I consumed more servings of whole fruit and vegetables than juice as I did not consume any juice.
c. Whole grains:
- Whole wheat bread
- Whole wheat tortilla
- Triscuits
d. Grain products low in fat, sugar, or salt
The tortilla was high in salt (358.4mg), the whole wheat bread was moderately high in salt (145.8mg per slice), and the half serving of Triscuits consumed was relatively high in sodium (83.3mg for 4 crackers), thus I did not consume any grains that were low in sodium.
e. Low-fat milk & alternatives and lean meats & alternatives prepared with little or no added fat or salt:
- Chunk light tuna (salt content is natural, not added)
- Peanut butter
- Chicken
