Procedure
1. Create an account at www.fitday.com.
2. Log the foods and drinks that you recorded
in your food log. Do so for all of the days that you have recorded (or as many
as you can).
3. Click on “Total Nutrition” (next to “Food
Log”). Toggle between the Graph and Table options in order to visualize the
nutritional contents of the foods/drinks you consumed in meaningful ways.
4. Think about and answer the following:
a. What is your initial reaction to the
information supplied to you? For example, do you agree/disagree with its
accuracy?
b. What questions do you have about the
terminology/abbreviations used?
c. Do any of the values surprise you? Why or
why not?
d. What does the term RDA (or RDA %) mean to
you?
e. Are there any nutrients that you are
getting more than enough of? Why do you think that is?
f. Are there any nutrients that you are
getting less than enough of? Why do you think that is?
g. Why do you think you were tasked with
recording your diet over multiple days instead of just one?
h. What do you think is the value of using
websites like fitday.com to record and analyze one’s food intake?
