Food Journal

 Step 1: Pull out your food journal (Assignment 2.1)

Using your own diet analysis,  set up a dietary consultation as if you were with a client. The client may be fictional or yourself

• Create a clear goal for your "client".  Weight loss or weight gain.  It can be a made up goal or one that you have for yourself. 


• Analyze your diet by looking at the food entries in the and exercise over the duration of your journal (Are there too many carbs? Too few calories? Too much junk food? ) . Where is your client now and how can you optimize their health SPECIFICALLY! I need the details. 

Some things to include:

• Determine any dietary suggestions to get your client to their goal. What are the changes you suggest to get them to their ideal weight. 


• Does the client (or you) eat more or less over the weekend?
  
  


• Does the client (or you) eat more or less during the week?
  
  


• Do your exercise patterns change during the week compared to the weekend?
  
  


• Does the macronutrient content (Fat, Protein, and Carbohydrates Percentages) work towards the overall goal for yourself or your "client"? If yes, Explain why.  If no, How can you improve to meet the nutritional goal?
  
  


• Based on your Food log, clients body composition, and overall health goal- determine if the goal was realistic to achieve.  If yes, explain why.  If not, how would you help them to create a realistic goal. 
  
  


• When might you check or reassess your client to see if your plan is working?
