Thursday, October 17th, 2013 According to the food choices I made on October 17th, eatracker analyzed that my intake for the vegetable and fruits, milk and alternatives and meat and alternatives should be changed. My intake of fruit and vegetables was four servings for the day, when it should have been eight. This could be increased by me eating more fruits and vegetables in-between meals as snacks. My grain and milk severings should be increased both by 0.5 each. These can be miscalculation do to un accuracy of proportion, therefore change is not necessary. Meat and alternatives intake should be decreased by eating a smaller portion at dinner or less peanut butter at breakfast.
