Food Intake Assessment

Through the Food Intake Assessment, we can find out whether our diet meets our body nutritional requirements and get additional messages on how to improve your diet. I was recommended to reduce my fats by exercising more and eating foods of lower fat content. I was also advised to reduce my sodium content through decreasing salt content in our foods. As an Indian, I usually eat more salt so this has increased my sodium content. Below is a table showing my diet compared to recommended daily diet.
