The Diet Analysis

Provides students with experience in the estimation and analysis of dietary patterns and practices. This unique assessment tool allows students track their food and serving size intake for up to seven days, and to create a personalized dietary profile based on height, weight, age, gender, and activity level. Diet Analysis Plus calculates Recommended Nutrient Intakes and Allowances (RDAs/DRIs), goal percent-ages, and actual percentages of essential nutrients, vitamins, and minerals. Comprehensive dietary data is displayed in attractive, easy-to-read reports that enhance learning. Students may view data as a bar graph or spreadsheet, in Food Pyramid form, or as a Nutrition Fact Panel Report. They can then identify dietary habits, correct nutritional deficiencies, and truly appreciate the impact of nutrient dense foods. (Macintosh version does not include the Food Pyramid Report and Nutrient Fact Panel Report, and limits dietary input to five days.)
