Your Assignment, Part I
In this exercise, you will evaluate your physical fitness and diet using interactive resources available at www.choosemyplate.org. First you
will need to find the SuperTracker resource on the website and create a profile. The following information will be required for you to get
started:
Age
Physical activity level
Profile name (not your full legal name)
Username
Password
Password hint and security question
None of the profile information you provide can be used to identify you. An email address is not required. Make a note of your username
and password; you will need them each time you log in to use the SuperTracker resources.
1. Keep a detailed food journal for one day and record it in the table. Include portion information for each item. Next, enter this information
in Food Tracker, a SuperTracker resource that will help you analyze your daily diet
2. Review the charts and other data in Food Tracker for the food you entered. Then answer these questions.
What was your target for daily Calorie consumption? How many Calories did you actually consume?
3. Think about your physical activity during a recent one-week period.
4. Think about your rest and sleep patterns during a recent one-week period. Estimate how much sleep/rest you got on a nightly basis.

Your Assignment, Part III
Now it's time for you to develop a fitness plan for yourself. Your plan should be realistic, but it must also push you toward the ultimate
achievement of your goals.
1. Revisit your diet and nutrient data from part 1. Name three steps you could take to meet, or make progress toward meeting, the food
group and nutrient targets. Explain how taking each step could help you meet a target.
Step 1: I will eat more protein by eating avocados, poultry, and chicken
Step 2: I will have more physical activity in my daily life. For example, jogging, running, and stretching.
Step 3: I will eat more cheese, milk, and yogurt , because I don’t eat enough dairy.
2. In an ideal situation, we have access to all the food options we desire. However, this is often not the case in real-world situations. For
each of your proposed steps in answer 1, provide an alternative dietary strategy that will also achieve your target, but in a different way.
Explain your thinking.
