Analysis of Fat Intake Assignment

Complete the following assignment:

Create a journal of your fat intake over a two-day period.

Prepare a brief analysis of your fat intake. In your analysis, answer the following questions: 

  1. How many total grams of fat did I consume? 
  2. How much saturated, unsaturated, and trans-fats did I consume? 
  3. Was my fat intake during these two days in a healthy range? Too much? Too little? 
  4. Did I eat the wrong type of fat? 
  5. Can I do better? If so, how can I change my eating habits to improve?

Take the Fat Screener survey to help determine your typical fat consumption. Comment on the results of the survey and ways you can use the results to make better choices in the future.

Submit the journal and analysis as one file to the Analysis of Fat Intake Assignment dropbox.
