Instructions

In this Assignment, you will be creating a meal plan for the case study individual you created in your Unit 2 Assignment.

Part 1:

Start with the nutrient requirements for your case study individual

First, you need to calculate the calorie requirements for your case study

Next, you need to determine which dietary guidelines you want to follow to determine nutrient needs (Example: Joslin Diabetes Guidelines, DASH, American Heart Association – see Updated Dietary Guidelines in Course Documents)

After you determine the dietary guidelines, calculate and discuss the recommended nutrients (carbohydrate, fat, protein, micronutrients, etc.) based on those guidelines

Part 2:

Create a one day recommended meal plan indicating what you as the Nutritionist would recommend to your case study individual.

This meal plan needs to meet the nutrient requirements you calculated in Part 1 of the assignment.

Make sure to include the serving sizes for the foods, and ensure the types of foods are appropriate for your case study.

Part 3:

Include a nutritional breakdown of the meal plan you created to show the meal plan meets the nutritional requirements of your case study individual.

Include a complete nutritional analysis of the meal plan you created. This should include calories, protein, fat, carbohydrates, vitamins, and minerals (calcium, iron, thiamin, riboflavin, niacin, sodium, potassium, etc.). You should show the actual intake from your meal plan vs. the recommended nutrient requirements for your case study.

Part 4:

Assess and write up how your meal plan meets your case study’s recommended nutrient breakdown (macronutrient distribution) as well as the vitamin/mineral requirement (micronutrient intake) from your nutritional analysis.
