NFSC 240-Human Nutrition
Skill Area: Human Nutrition
Assignment Title: Nutrition Assessment
What I learned: In this assignment I learned how to examine my first case study. It was basic and I learned to calculate energy and protein needs, and determine if she was meeting her recommendation. I also evaluated her micronutrient intake according to her dietary recall and using diet analysis software. The assignment including comparing her diet to the recommendations that the food pyramid gives and coming up with PES statements.
Reflection to assignment: This assignment was a new look at nutrition for me. Before taking this course I knew only very basic information about nutrition. The project took me a long time but gave me a good idea of Mypyramid guidelines and ways to improve the clients diet.
Relevance to the profession: Calculating nutrient needs in part being a counseling nutritionist and giving diet recommendations is also part of the job. This project was a good introduction before taking Advanced Human Nutrition and Medical Nutrition Therapy which relates directly to a dietitians job title.
