Food that could be removed to reduce the intake of the nutrient that I had an excess of are rice, sauces,
ramen, and possibly sodas. I had too many carbs and fats in this log due to the excess intake of rice, fried
chicken nuggets from Chick-fil-a; fries, and other bad food intakes which I believe can be improved.

improve your intake of this nutrient.
Foods that I need to take and implement in my diet to improve my deficient nutrients that were listed are
green vegetables, yogurt, fish, fresh fruits, and red pepper as it improves levels of fiber, calcium,
magnesium, and in Vitamin A, B, D, E, K.

Conclusion:
Based on your findings, describe, and explain at least three dietary goals you will adopt
Based on what I found out during the 3 days of logging what I eat in a day to see my intake of all
nutrients necessary for the body. For instance, something that I took notice of is that on all of the days, I
had an excess intake of carbohydrates which I would like to reduce. After reflecting on the 3 days, I have
stetted the goals that I would like to adopt to keep doing the first thing I would like to do is to maintain a
good and stable intake of carbohydrates and fats as I feel that I tend to always have an excess of those
nutrients. Secondly to embed vegetables in my diet as well as fruit to help keep my vitamins, fiber,
calcium, and magnesium up to what is necessary daily. Third is to be able to set a standard meat intake
every day as I feel that I lack completing this, I would like to have set a good percentage of protein in my
body daily.
