Personal Case Study: Carbohydrate Consumption 1. Check your Macronutrient Distribution Report: How does your total carbohydrate intake compares with the general recommendation that 45-65% of the calories we consume each day should be from carbohydrates? 2. Check your Bar Graph Report and Single Nutrient Report for carbohydrates: What foods are you getting most of your total carbohydrate from (focus on the top 5-10 food items)? Does your carbohydrate consumption fit into a healthy dietary pattern? Explain. 3. Check your MyPlate Report: Which food groups represent nutrient-dense sources of carbohydrates? How does your intake for those food groups compare to the recommendations? 4. Check your Bar Graph Report and Single Nutrient Report for fiber (for all three days combined) and review the information in your Nutrition Facts Report: How does your dietary fiber intake compare to the recommended for your age and gender? What foods are you getting most of your dietary fiber from? 5. Provide specific (and realistic) dietary recommendations to yourself based on the analysis of your total carbohydrate and fiber consumption you conducted for questions 1 through 4.
