Diet Analysis
1. How does your actual intake of fiber compare to the recommendation?
The recommended amount is 14.25 and my actual is 12.50, so I am only off by 1.75g of fiber. I am at 88% of the DRI.
2. How does your actual intake of water compare to the recommendation? (Convert using 1gm water = 1ml)
I’m only at 58% of the DRI. The recommended is 2,700mL and I only have 1,500.16mL. I am working on drinking more water. I don’t get many water breaks while I am in the OR so I need to figure out a way to get more water in without drinking a lot at lunch and then having to go to the bathroom soon after.
3. If your fiber intake is below the recommendation, what foods would you be likely to add to your diet to increase your daily fiber?
I would eat more fruits. I would drink more water. I would eat more whole grains. I wouldn’t eat too much more because I’m very close to the recommendation.
4. Or, what foods would you recommend to a patient who needs to increase their daily fiber intake?
If they eat breakfast cereal, ensure that it has 2-3g of fiber in each serving. Eat the daily recommended amount of fruits and vegetables. Drink plenty of water. Eat whole grain foods rather the enriched grains.
