A completed final report will consist of:

I. Title page
Must include, at a minimum, your name, the date of turn-in and the title of the project. You may add appropriate decoration.

II. Body of the Report

A. Procedure - one page
Explain, in detail, what you have done to investigate your diet and its nutritional value. Why are you doing it? What different things did you analyze? Tell about the energy sources you investigated. Describe the places you looked for data. Did you do any classwork activities that helped you? Name them. Describe them.
B. Data - two pages
These two pages will be your two food diary data tables. Put "day 1" first and "day 2" second.
C. Conversions - one page
Show all the conversion calculations to change your total gram weights for fat, protein and carbohydrates into calories for both days. This means you'll have six conversion calcs. Use your Calorie Conversion Reference Sheet for help.
D. Triple Bar Graph and Data Spreadsheet - one page
Show how your calorie intake in each energy source category compares to the recommended daily amounts found on your food pyramid. One set of bars will show the recommended, day 1 and day 2 amounts for fat; another set will show protein; the third set will show carbohydrates. You will get a mini-lesson on how to make the spreadsheet and graph in the lab.
E. Comparison of Your Diet to Recommended - one page
Compare your diet to what is recommended. You must discuss servings, meaning, look at the food pyramid and your list of foods and discuss how you compare. You must discuss your calorie intake of fats, proteins and carbohydrates compared to what is recommended. Refer to your graph. You must also discuss how the amount you exercise affects your calorie intake in each category.
F. Conclusions and Recommendations
Discuss your discoveries, reactions, further questions, etc. What do you recommend about your eating habits? How could you change your eating habits so you are more healthy?

Your grade will be based on the following:

1. Organization.
2. Completeness.
3. Meeting the deadlines.
4. Thoughtfulness and clarity of writing.
5. Additional research that you do to understand the different topics in nutrition that we have been studying.
6. Carbohydrate analysis - did you get that part done?

Note: In order to get a 10, which means you exceeded the standard, you must do the carbohydrate analysis. If you don't do it, but you do get the rest of the required work done, you'll get an 8. An 8 means you met the standard and have indeed done a good job.

Go for the top!
Good luck, and good eating!
