what your energy balance must be with reference to your fat percentage. (See Target
Weight below) Is your energy balance healthy? Are you taking in too many calories or
too few?
Are you burning enough calories each day? Are you exercising daily? Are you at a
healthy place in terms of your body composition? If not, what do you need to do to
change your energy balance, so you lose fat and gain muscle?

you can use this tool to estimate a target body composition and/or weight based on your
current nutritional and health status.

Report (hover over any nutrient and you can see what foods contributed to this
percentage) provide a list/table or chart with the specific food item(s) that contributed to
the excess and next to each one list the excess nutrient that resulted. For each specific
deficiency give examples of specific foods to add to correct the problem. Find these
examples from your text, or lecture notes.

provided in your text to help you “coach” yourself. For example: Using your Nutrition
Report describe your analysis of your intake of the following: Macronutrients and
Micronutrients.

Based on your findings, what would you modify, change, or keep the same regarding
your status in each of these categories? How might excesses and/or deficiencies in these
areas affect your health, energy level, and your ability to maintain an exercise program?
Remember this is not a self-reflection but rather “you” provide yourself with a plan.
