This activity focuses on your diet and requires that you complete a daily food plan for three days and analyze your diet based on the current American Dietary Guidelines 2020-2025. These Guidelines are updated every five years and provide the basis for nutrition policies. These Guidelines should also guide our nutrition education practices.
Part One: (Module 6)
Go to the “Choose My Plate” web site [http://www.choosemyplate.gov/index.html] and follow links to learn about this resource and also become familiar with the new guidelines.

This is a 164 page document and has a lot of useful information, but for the purposes of this assignment you can focus on Chapter 4, pages 91- 105.
