Explain the importance of variety. Include in your answer an understanding of the role of micronutrients in a healthy diet. While recording my food diary, I tried to eat as healthy as possible by processed foods. It is important to have variety in your diet to insure that you can have a well-balanced diet. Carbohydrates are also essential in your diet because they are your bodys main source of fuel. Without carbohydrates, we would have low/no energy and weak muscles and organs. 2) In what food group did you have the most difficulty meeting the recommended servings?

I had the most difficulty with meeting the recommended amount in dairy and alternatives and meat and alternatives. I think this is I just dont like the taste of milk and dairy products. The only good source I get the dairy intake form I yogurt. I also struggled to meet the recommended amount in grains and alternatives. This is because gluten tends to make me feel sick so I eat gluten-free breads and pastas instead.
3) Did your food consumption meet you energy needs for daily activities? Refer to the energy equation and your understanding of calories to explain your energy needs. Yes, my food consumption met the energy needs. I was not active while recording my food because of my concussion so I did not need to eat as much as I usually would if I were doing my regular activities.
