In the post-assessment, you will record your eating and physical activity habits for two consecutive days. Then, you must complete 1 NEW “food intake” form and one NEW”physical activity” form. In other words, you will repeat what you did during the baseline assessment. If your health status hasn’t changed (e.g., you become pregnant or have a new health problem), you don’t need a new “MyPlate Plan” from the www.choosemyplage.gov website. Once you have recorded and analyzed your food intake and physical activity, you must write a post-assessment analysis comparing your baseline assessment results (1st journal) with the post-assessment (2nd journal). In addition, you will refer to your plan on the baseline assessment write-up from part 1 and see if you followed it. Finally, you update the professor on your progress, including your “action plan” from the food journal part 1 results. If you didn’t have an action plan at your baseline assessment in Part 1, write it now and include it with your post-assessment (part 2) in two separate documents. Once you have compared your food intake in Part 1 with your food intake in Part 2, you are ready to write the post-assessment write-up paper. It must include the following:
Discuss the difference between your baseline (part 1) and post-assessment (part 2) results. In other words, have you improved or regressed from your “action plan”? How?
What changes did you make (or not) in your eating habits since you started recording what you eat? Be specific and explain.
Discuss your BMI and if there is any change. Do you want to change your current weight? Why?
Are you following your eating and exercise plan/goals? If not, what are the barriers that you are still facing? How can you try to overcome these barriers?

In this module’s activity, you are going to complete a detailed 3-Day Food Record using the directions below. This 3-Day Food Record will not only give you an opportunity to practice mindful eating, but it will also provide the data you’ll be entering into the DWP computer dietary analysis program later in the course for your Personal Dietary Analysis Project.

Be VERY specific about WHAT you eat/drink, HOW MUCH you eat/drink (in ounces, cups, tablespoons), and at which meal time (breakfast, lunch, dinner, or snack) you eat/drink it.

If you’re not sure about your portions and don’t have access to measuring cups/spoons, use this food portion guide Download food portion guideto help you estimate your portions.

Choose an average day and record your food intake. Utilizing the MindTap software Track Diet tool, enter all food and drink consumed during that average day. When you have finished recording, use the Reports link at the top of the page to evaluate your nutrition intake. 
Plan a day for food intake that will meet all your Dietary Reference Intake (DRI) recommendations, then live this day; be sure to write down everything you consume, including drinks and snacks. Try to include items you love to eat. Enter your intake in the MindTap Track Diet tool and analyze. 
Plan regular physical activity for a week, attempting to meet recommendations for all types of fitness. Follow your plan and record your physical activity in the MindTap Track Activity tool and evaluate. Try to include activities you love, and also note sleeping patterns, personal feelings, thoughts, and additional stresses that might occur. 
Your report should discuss and include the following:
Compare and contrast your food record and analysis from the two days recorded (average and planned days.)
Did you like your food intake for the day’s record? How could you improve your diet, and how can you introduce variety?
