Note: for this project, do not link your
Cronometer account with any fitness tracking devices as it may alter the
accuracy of your results for this project.
Step 2: Using the Food Database
1. To begin entering your foods for
Day 1, ensure you are under the Diary tab at the top of the screen.
https://learn.umuc.edu/content/enforced/323898-M_006326-01-2185/2.jpg
2. Select the appropriate calendar
date. It is highly recommended that you enter all
three food diaries at once, using consecutive days on the Cronometer calendar
(even if your log days were not consecutive), and use dates closest to today’s
actual date. Because we are using the free version of the
site, reports can only be done for the last 7 days so you will be unable to get
a report for the days you enter if they are more than 7 days away.

3. Click on Add Food at the top of
the screen. Type the first food from your food log into the search bar and
click Search. Select the food item that best matches the food you ate in
the Search Results.

4. Choose the amount that you consumed
at the bottom of the search box. Use the drop menu to select the most
appropriate serving measurement and enter the number of servings. If less
than 1 serving, use a decimal to indicate the percentage of one serving
consumed. Click on Add Serving.

Note: Do not include any
supplements into your food diary as you are doing an assessment of your dietary
intake only.
5. If you need to delete a food item from
your diary, simply right click on the food item and select Delete Selected
Items.
https://learn.umuc.edu/content/enforced/323898-M_006326-01-2185/6.jpg
6. Continue
Steps 1-3 for all food items for your Day 1 Food Diary.

and drink items for the first day, click on the gear found at the top right of
the screen. Select “Mark Day Complete”.
https://learn.umuc.edu/content/enforced/323898-M_006326-01-2185/7.jpg
8. Repeat for Days 2 and 3 by
changing the date in the calendar. Again, ensure dates are consecutive in the
Cronometer calendar; are within a 7-day window; and are as close to today’s
date as possible.
Step 3: Obtaining Your
Nutrition Report
1. Once you have entered all of your foods
into the Diary for all three days and marked all three days as complete, you
need to create your nutrition report to analyze your average intake of
nutrients over the three days. Click on the Trends tab at the top of the
screen. Select Nutrition Report.
https://learn.umuc.edu/content/enforced/323898-M_006326-01-2185/8.jpg
2.
At the top, select the parameters for your search [see screenshot below].
Ensure your 3 days are included in the last 7 days as the free version of this
site only allows for averages from the last 7 days.
·
Select include today only if one of your three days
was entered on today’s date in the Cronometer calendar.
·
From the drop down menu, select “Completed Days”
instead of the default “All Days”. This will ensure your report is
accurate and includes values for only days in which food was entered.
·
Do not include supplements in this report.

3. After your report is generated,
take a screen shot of your Nutrition Report to show all nutrient values from
Nutrition Report dates at the top down to Zinc You will likely need to take two
screen shots in order to include the required data. [See sample screenshot
below]. This step must be done as it is a requirement that you turn
this in with the analysis.

4. Open this file to complete
the rest of the assignment. Using the Nutrition Report above, fill in the
Average Eaten columns of Tables 1 and 2 of the file
you just opened. To fill in Table 1, Energy and Macronutrients (percent
of calories), use the top of the report as shown below. You will need to
hover over each macronutrient name to see percent of calories from each.
Do NOT use information from the sections that are crossed out on the image
below.
https://learn.umuc.edu/content/enforced/323898-M_006326-01-2185/11.jpg
For remaining
macronutrient components and the micronutrients, use the Nutrition Report
tables to obtain the information to fill remaining average intakes for Tables
1 and 2.
Using the
screenshot below as an example (vitamins in this case), you will use the 1st column values rather than the
red/yellow/green bar values in the 2nd column.
https://learn.umuc.edu/content/enforced/323898-M_006326-01-2185/12.jpg
5. Finish Tables 1 and 2 in the
document you downloaded by using the following resources for Target or RDA/AI
Nutrient values.
Macronutrients: Use the AMDRs
that you learned about in your text for Target values. These can be found
in their respective chapters in the text (Chapters 4, 5, and 6).
Micronutrients: Use the link
below for RDA/AI values for all vitamins and minerals except Vitamins A and D.
For Vitamins A and D, the units from Cronometer do not match the RDA/AI units
found in the link below. While this is the most recent publication for
RDA/AIs, presently IUs are the preferable measurement for vitamins A and D. As
a result, Cronometer provides their results in IUs for these two vitamins. Use
the following guidance:
Vitamin A – RDA 3000 IU for males
RDA 2,333 IU for females
Vitamin D – RDA 600 IU for males and females
Recommended
Dietary Allowance and Adequate Intakes
Step 4: Analysis Questions
1. Answer
Questions 1- 9 in the file you downloaded above based on your results in Tables
1 and 2. Use
complete sentences and ensure proper grammar and spelling.
Step 5: Submission
The following should be submitted as
attachments when you have completed this part of your project:
1. Nutrition Report screen shots (as .doc
or .pdf file)
2. Completed
Analysis to include tables and answers to diet analysis
questions (found here)
