DIET ANALYSIS
Enter the information from your log into the “Intakes” section of NutritionCalc Plus. Once your food intake record is complete, click on the “Reports” section to assess your diet and identify areas where you do and do not meet the recommendations. Use these reports as part of your portfolio to see where you are meeting your goals and to identify diet areas that need improvement. You can also use NutritionCalc Plus to track your diet over time and follow any changes.
