Your Task
PERSONAL DIET SELF-EVALUATION
For this assignment you will be tracking your eating and activity habits for three “regular”
days of your week. To do so you will need to fill out three of the Eating and Activity Log
sheets, as well as finding the labels from the different food groups that you eat. Once
you’ve collected that information you will then analyze it, answer questions based on your
findings, and type out a one-page response/reflection based on your findings.
NOTE
It is important for you to be honest in this process. You are being evaluated on your
ability to ANALYZE and REFLECT on your eating habits, not on how healthy or unhealthy
your diet is. For this to be useful to you, you need to be as accurate as possible. Don’t
bother trying to make your diet ‘look good’, because that part is not marked.
*Use one of the online estimating tools to figure out how to record combination
foods (Foods like pizza, subs, pastas, etc.)
Looking at the three days you have logged, choose the day that is most typical for you (you want to look
at what you eat on a regular basis). Once you have chosen a day, answer the Self-Analysis question sheet
contained in this package.
