Part I: 3 Day Food Log (Due Sunday 11:59 pm ET Week 4) – 15 pts

Complete a 3 Day Food Diary. Choose three days, including two weekdays and one weekend day as close together as possible, and write down everything that you eat and drink and the quantity in common household measurements. Try to eat as normal as possible these days. (You will not be graded on how healthy your diet is.) Be sure to include everything such as condiments, sauces, beverages, etc. Try to write what you’ve eaten or drank immediately after you have consumed it. It can be difficult to accurately recall what you have consumed and how much from days previous or at the end of the day.

Food logs should be typed and submitted into the proper Assignments folder for part 1. A food chart has been provided for you to use for each day. You must include the date for each day you record, and they should be consecutive. You will receive no credit (0 for the assignment) if the dates do not fall within the dates for this course session.
