According to the three-day nutrition report, my RDA intake does not correspond to a desirable diet; I have both micronutrient and macronutrient deficiencies. To understand this process, I decided to break it all down by discussing all the nutrients that fall below 80%. The goal is to recognize the factors that influence desirable nutrition and identify food groups that will improve my nutritional health. Note: DRI values are changed in my diet due to trying to lose weight. The usual calorie intake for a person like me would be 2200 kcal per day, but the recommended calorie intake to lose 1 kg per week would be 1669.73 calories per day. To get started with the three day breakdown, I'll start with macronutrient intake; I fall below the recommended calorie intake. The assumed value for calories was 1,263.83 and the DRI target is 1,669.73 -76%, calories from fat value 172.86 The DRI target is 467.36 -37%, calories from saturated fat value 41 ,23 The DRI target is 150.22 -27%. As a result, these results indicate that I am not eating the right amount of calories per day. In an attempt to lose weight, I have been eating a bad diet, so I will have to eat a little more. Macronutrients [Carbohydrates ✓ fat ✗ protein ✓] Fat value 19.21 The DRI target is 51.93 -37% This intake is less to 80%; therefore, I don't get the right amount of "good" fats like avocado, olive oil, nuts and fish; However, my cholesterol intake shows a value of 390.05 when the DRI target is 300.00- -130%, over 80%, this may be due to the fact that I am consuming a large amount of animal products (red meats to be more specific). I need to decrease the amount of animal fats and focus on acquiring my unsaturated... half of paper......, yogurt, cheese and ricotta. Iron72% To correct this deficiency I will have to add more of these foods: red meat, egg yolk, dark leafy vegetables, liver and dried fruit. Magnesium 66% to correct this deficiency I will have to add more of these foods: fish, beans, lentils, dark chocolate. Potassium 47% to correct this deficiency I will have to add more of these foods: white beans, baked potatoes, fish, pumpkin, bananas, mushrooms and avocado. In conclusion, to obtain desirable nutrition and be healthy, I will have to consume more of the foods previously mentioned in each category/group or by adding a nutritional supplement to my diet. Calorie intake is also important, so by adding more fruits and vegetables to my diet, I am confident, I will achieve my desired weight and a healthier life.
