Discussion Post: Nutrition
In what categories did your patient meet their targets and where did they fall short?
What culturally appropriate supplemental food recommendations would help increase fruit and vegetable consumption for your patient? Use 1 resource.
Take one meal that your patient consumed and swap it out for a more nutrient-dense version of that food. (I.e. turkey burger vs beef burger that is 70%/30% fat) Compare the nutrient density using the equation we discussed in class (see previous page in this document). You only have to look at one nutrient, i.e fat, salt, sugar, vitamin D etc. You can use Myfitnesspal.com to search for your food to identify nutrient content or you can look at a food label for that item if you have one. Use 1 resource to explain why that nutrient is important.
The response must include a reference list. Using one-inch margins, double-space, Times New Roman 12 pnt font and APA style of writing and citations.
