Computerized Menu Analysis
With the purchase of this service, you will be asked to keep a detailed food diary of everything you eat and drink for three days. It is important to include both weekdays and weekend days, as most people tend to eat differently on the weekends than they do during the week.
Data from your food records will be analyzed using state-of-the art nutrition analysis software. You will receive a detailed Nutrition Analysis Report, which will include:
- Average number of calories consumed, compared to how many calories your body really needs.
- The percentage of your calories from protein, carbohydrate and fat.
- A breakdown of the fat in your diet into saturated fat (eat less of this fat), polyunsaturated fat (a better fat) and monounsaturated fat (the best choice).
- Average intake of cholesterol (did you know that cholesterol is only found in animal products and its by-products!).
- Content of dietary fiber in your diet (important for heart health and optimal gastrointestinal functioning).
- Your average intake of dozens of vitamins, including the antioxidant vitamins C, E, and beta-carotene, and the B vitamins, including Folic Acid, B6 and B12.
- Your average intake of minerals such as calcium, iron, zinc and many more.
- Content of sodium, sugar, caffeine and alcohol in your diet.
Your dietary intake will be compared to the Dietary Reference Intakes (DRIs) and Food Guide Pyramid to see how your intake compares to the guidelines for healthy eating.
Your Nutrition Analysis Report will include graphs and charts for easing viewing and will list those nutrients you are deficient in with recommendations on what foods to increase to prevent such deficiencies. Nutrients in excess will also be listed with recommendations for foods to decrease to prevent possible health complications from excessive consumption.
