Demonstrate an understanding of the Dietary Reference IntakesProject Guidelines:1. Find one person who is in a life stage different than your own who you can interview regarding their food intake (can interview the parent of a young child; no infants for this assignment due to minimal diversity in diet).o Due to the Corona virus and current social distancing/hunkering down mandate, use one of the following options: Interview a family member whom you live with, providing they don’t have the Corona virus. If they do have the Corona virus, please interview someone else. Interview someone over the phone Interview someone via FaceTime, Skype, Zoom, and so forth.o Please DO NOT put yourself in any unnecessary risk of getting Coronavirus for this assignment.2.

You need to make sure to do this so it compares their intake with recommendations for them, not for you.Assignment #3: Diet Analysis/Nutrient Intake 75 points Under Settings – Target Set tracking carbohydrates as – Total Carbs Set macro targets using – Macro Ratios Under Macronutrient Ratios, set the macronutrients (protein,carbohydrates and fat) within the percentages we discussed in class. The total percent for these should equal 100%.o For instance, protein = 25%, carbs = 55%, fat = 20% Updated 4/2/20202Assignment #3: Diet Analysis/Nutrient Intake 75 points If desired, there is a user manual under the Help tab on how to use program. Cronometer will not automatically divide up meals into breakfast, lunch, dinner, and snacks unless you subscribe/purchase Gold or Pro version (which is not free and you are not required to purchase this).
