This diet review will cover everything I ate from Sunday, February 7th to Saturday, February 13th. According to my Dietary Reference Intake (DRI), I was allowed 2191kcal for the week and consumed 1978kcal. I met 90.3% of what I was allowed, although it is at the higher end of the range, but it is still within. My calories from fat were 647 kcal and my maximum allowed is 767 kcal. Even though I didn't exceed the minimum allowed which was 438 kcal, I still exceeded the 209 kcal of fat that could have been avoided. Checking the fat content in my snacks and limiting myself could reduce my actual intake while still staying within limits. The same goes for my total fat intake. My maximum was 85g and I consumed 72g when the minimum could have been 49g. However, this is 23 g of fat consumed that I did not consume. Especially regarding trans fats, I consumed 3.2g when ideally it should be 0g. Eliminating trans fats entirely because they have no nutritional benefit would completely eliminate them from my diet. My omega 6 and omega 3 intake did not meet my DRI. I only consumed 3.9g of omega 6 when my DRI was 12g and I consumed 0.5g of omega 3 when my DRI was 1.1g. To increase my omega 6 intake, I might start using grapeseed oil instead of the cheapest one I can find, which might not be the healthiest. I already use purchased grapeseed oil for my hair, so getting another bottle to cook with would be easy. To increase my omega 3 intake, I could start consuming more beef and salmon in my diet, most of the meat I eat in my diet is chicken, so this step could add variety. My cholesterol DRI was maxed out at 300 mg and my intake was 267 mg. Still relatively high, so you might start consuming oatmeal for breakfast where it reduces low-density lipoprotein (LDL), the "bad" cholesterol. Also, I... middle of paper... wasn't aware of all the sodium in my food and the first thing I'm going to start doing is seriously reducing the number of processed foods in my diet. I may not be able to eliminate it all because unfortunately it is much cheaper to consume it, but I will reduce the amount I have. I can start buying fresh meat, instead of packaged. I can also start comparing various brands of the same food until I find the one with the lowest sodium content. When I buy packaged foods, I at least get the ones that say low sodium or no sodium. I can use more herbs in my cooking and switch to Mrs. Dash's salt-free seasonings. Finally, if I use canned foods, I can rinse them in water to remove at least some of the sodium. When it comes to consuming foods with little or no sodium, lots of fresh fruits and vegetables would work as they “essentially contain no sodium”.,"
