PERSONAL DIET ANALYSIS3

Computer’s DRI = 46.82 – 81.94 g

Actual fat intake = 163.515 g

AMDR = 20 – 35%

Actual intake = 199.555%

My actual fat intake is 163.515 g, which is way above the DRI value; hence, it is past the recommended amount. The number of calories that I consume from fat is 199.555% that falls outside the recommended range. My essential fat intake is 38.369 g of PFA 18:2, linoleic, higher than the DRI of 12 g, and 3.515 g of PFA 18:3, linolenic, and higher than the DRI of 1.1 g. Thus, my consumption of the essential fatty acids surpasses the DRI recommendation. Moreover, I consume 43.829 g of saturated fat, higher than the DRI requirement of <23.4 g. My saturated fat intake significantly exceeds the <10% of kilocalories since the actual consumption is 187.302%. My diet's significant liquid fat sources include salad and Caesar with dressing, nuts, and pistachio. The primary sources of solid fat in my diet are cream and cheese.

Q5. Water, Alcohol, and Caffeine

Actual water intake = 1902.419 g = 67 oz

Computer’s DRI = 2700 g = 95 oz

My water consumption is slightly lower than the recommended DRI value. I only take about 20 oz of water in a day, which is still below the recommended intake. I consume beverages that are sources of caffeine, including tea (1 cup per day) and coffee (14 oz per day)—this is approximately 166 mg of caffeine, and it falls below the limit of 400 mg per day.

I did not consume any alcohol during my 3-day tracking, and it is not always part of my routine to consume alcohol. However, I must be conscious of the limit; a drink per day for women.
