1. Calculation of % diet calories that are fat from your spreadsheet (If this number is <10%, you have done something wrong): (5 points) There are 9 calories/1 gram fat.
Answer 4: 37% of diet calories that come from fat. 1. Total fat grams for the day x 9 = total fat calories for the day
Answer #1 under 4: 650.43

2. Total fat calories for the day (650.43) X100 = total fat % for the day
Total calories for the day (1749.88) from your spreadsheet
Answer #2 under 4: 37%
5. Diet Analysis (25 points)
Answer 5a & b:
Looking at my diet it showed some striking deficiencies. Vitamins A and Calcium were lacking. Iron and vitamin C were just shy of what’s recommended for my diet.
Looking at the numbers, there is a need for a major change in my diet such as:
Spinach and carrots for Vitamins A
Asparagus, lettuce, celery and some carrots for Vitamin A
Milk, yogurt, and salmon for Calcium
Eggs and dried fruit for Iron
Citrus fruits and strawberries for Vitamin C

Based on analysis of my normal day’s diet as noted in the spreadsheet, I have a very serious situation with a sodium level of 2843.41 g. It should be 1500 g, and this means that I need to reduce the amount of sodium that I eat with better choices. The Frito’s Munchie’s Chips were very high in sodium, so a better choice for a snack would be dried fruits to get much needed iron into my diet. Plus they are way lower in sodium. The ground beef was high in sodium but that was a major source of my protein. So I will keep that in my diet but cut out that high in sodium snacks.
In all honesty I am not really worried about my fat intake due to the fact I am trying to gain weight. But I will try to find healthier ways to gain weight but I am not worried about the fat content of my foods. But I really don’t have any high fat items in my diet other that the meats in my diet but I need to have meat in my diets.
Behavior Modification (10 points)
Answer 5: Behavior Modification
My diet is based on my schedule and money.
I have added yogurt with fresh strawberries to my breakfast to make sure I get more calcium and vitamin C in
