Food Journal
Step 1: Pull out your food journal (Assignment 2.1)
Using your own diet analysis, set up a dietary consultation as if you were with a client. The client may be fictional or yourself
Create a clear goal for your “client”. Weight loss or weight gain. It can be a made up goal or one that you have for yourself.
Analyze your diet by looking at the food entries in the and exercise over the duration of your journal (Are there too many carbs? Too few calories? Too much junk food? ) . Where is your client now and how can you optimize their health SPECIFICALLY! I need the details.
Some things to include:
Determine any dietary suggestions to get your client to their goal. What are the changes you suggest to get them to their ideal weight.
Does the client (or you) eat more or less over the weekend?
Does the client (or you) eat more or less during the week?
Do your exercise patterns change during the week compared to the weekend?
Does the macronutrient content (Fat, Protein, and Carbohydrates Percentages) work towards the overall goal for yourself or your “client”? If yes, Explain why. If no, How can you improve to meet the nutritional goal?
Based on your Food log, clients body composition, and overall health goal- determine if the goal was realistic to achieve. If yes, explain why. If not, how would you help them to create a realistic goal.
When might you check or reassess your client to see if your plan is working?
Your food/life changes recommendations paper should be a minimum of 2-3 pages in length total, APA formatted, properly cited reference page, 12 point font
Step 2: Create a Food Journal Portfolio
Include:
Title page
Personal Food Journal
Food Journal Analysis
Food Recommendations for a fictional client or yourself
Reference Page
All components to your portfolio must be presented in essay style APA format, include properly cited reference page, title page, and 12 point font

From the journal, it can be observed that, I had high intake of calories and proteins. I consumed significantly small amount of fiber. Most of the diets did not have water which is necessary for good health. Over the week I did not take enough fluids such as water. I can say that I have bad diet habits considering the kind of diets I had over the week. Most of my meals had high amounts of proteins and calories, but they lacked or had insufficiency of some other nutrients which are important for good health and proper functioning of the body. I need to improve on my budget and make sure I include all the nutrients in my meals because taking balanced diet is necessary for good health. There is need for improvement on my diet habits. I should include by checking the quantities of the elements of the foods in all my meals and ensuring proper and sufficient intake of all the necessary nutrient content.
