With dietary analysis you can easily find
out your daily intakes of nutrients. The
purpose is to compare your intakes with the
RDA (recommended daily allowances).
Here are very useful sources of dietary analysis
that you can access:
Web-Based:
The web-based diet analysis we recommend
is the NAT (nutrition analysis
tool) program
that can be used free by following
our link
below. Before using the program
it is recommended
that you download and print out
our free
dietary sheet. To get the best
from the analysis
we recommend that you use the
diet sheet
to record all food and drink
consumed during
a one-day (24 hr) period. You
can then access
the NAT program by coming back
to our site
and inputting the data. Alternatively
you
may use the recall method by
which you input
all food and drink consumed the
previous
day as accurately as you can
recall. This
is a very easy and powerful analysis
program
that is research quality (located
at the
Food and Nutrition Institute).
It will give
you details of your nutrient
intakes according
to the types of nutrients. Help
and more
details are provided on the site.
