How might you modify your diet to best use the six classes of nutrients and the recommended servings for each food group? What are some nutrient-rich foods you could add to your daily diet?
Document what you eat during a 3-day period by using the free food tracker tool located on https://www.choosemyplate.gov/SuperTracker/default.aspx.
Set up an account with the SuperTracker by using the registration instructions in Appendix B.
Watch the “Estimating Portion Size” animated video at Ch. 1 of WileyPlus® located on the student website. This will assist you in relating your own portion sizes to the standard serving size.

· Describe your current eating habits.
· How does your diet compare to the recommendations you received from the Food Guide Pyramid? How many servings from each food group did you consume?
