INTRODUCTION 

My DAP is an opportunity to learn more about your own eating patterns and identify gaps in food groups, which can impact your nutritional health.This project requires you to use the information in the course, public access tools for measuring dietary intake, and other reliable sources of health information to create a personal assessment.

Dear Students,

You will be able to compare your intake to what the current recommendations are.

I am not expecting exact calculations on calories, and grams of all Macro and Micro nutrients.                                                          Please find the template of a food record, which you can fill in, under the ‘Diet Analysis Instructions’ 

You need to Follow the directions given for the DAP. 

The DAP is to be submitted in the format of a Power Point (minimum 10- maximun 20 slides), there is no additional paper due on this topic.
