What is the AMDR for fat in the diet

What is the AMDR for fat in the diet?

What was your perception of dietary fat before reading this week’s resources?

How has your perception changed? Why or why not? Explain your answer.

Below is a sample one-day menu for Mrs. Smith. Her doctor just told her she is at risk for developing heart disease since her cholesterol is a little high. The doctor has asked her to meet with a registered dietitian to learn more about which heart-healthy fats to include and which unhealthy fats to avoid. She hopes to meet with a dietitian next week, but in the meantime, she needs help making these changes.

List five different suggestions for Mrs. Smith’s diet. Provide only changes that address the goals with her meal planning as mentioned above. Tell her which food(s) you would have her change and how you would replace these items. Highlight (yellow) or bold the item you are changing. Then write the change next to that. Explain how each change specifically decreases unhealthy fats (identify the unhealthy fats) and/or how it specifically increases heart-healthy fats (identify the heart-healthy fats).

Do not simply replace a menu item with water. Do not simply reduce the portion sizes.

Do only five different suggestions to his menu.

Write complete sentences for each suggestion and include: Describe the suggestion. Will it decrease unhealthy fats (identify the unhealthy fats) and/or will it increase heart healthy fats (identify the heart-healthy fats)? How?
