Consider
- Do I mostly eat carbs from the ‘Eat Most’, ‘Eat Some’ or ‘Eat Least’ list? How can I adjust my diet to eat more carbs from the ‘Eat Most’ list and less carbs from the ‘Eat Least’ list?
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
- Do I mostly eat fats from the ‘Eat Most’, ‘Eat Some’ or ‘Eat Least’ list? How can I adjust my diet to eat more fats from the ‘Eat Most’ list and less fats from the ‘Eat Least’ list?
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
- Do I mostly eat protein from the ‘Eat Most’, ‘Eat Some’ or ‘Eat Least’ list? How can I adjust my diet to eat more protein from the ‘Eat Most’ list and less protein from the ‘Eat Least’ list?
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
- Add up the number of grams of protein I eat on the average day (using the list or Google the number of grams of protein in different foods). Compare this to the RDI for my weight. Am I above or below the RDI? How much? If I am below, add high-protein foods in and take low-protein foods out until I achieve the RDI.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
- Do I currently eat many functional foods in my daily diet? How can I include more functional foods into my diet?
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
- What supplements do I routinely take? Are they naturally or synthetically derived (if they do not state a natural source, it may be assumed they are synthetic)? How can I obtain these nutrients from natural sources? e. real food, superfoods or functional foods
