DIET ANALYSIS PROJECT (DAP) PART 3

QUESTION 10

Summary Statement.

(a)
• A yearly occasion I must celebrate is the Chinese New Year.
• I will celebrate this occasion with my family.
• This celebration would always occur in my house because my parents would like to
prepare on their own or buy some foods that we only eat occasionally.
• I will participate in the food shopping and possibly buy a dessert or make our own.
Numerous signature foods must be part of this celebration, such as Cantonese-style
braised whole chicken, steamed fish with soy sauce added or steamed shrimp with chives-
garlic and soy sauce, and sauteed rice noodles with vegetables.
• When I have my own household, signature foods in the celebration will play a crucial role
in teaching and passing on this unique culture to my future children. Also, it can create a
great memory and interaction with them.
• N/A.

(a)
• The 3-day food record reflects my typical food choices and eating behaviors since the onset
of COVID-19 because I have been more aware of handling foods, especially when eating
outside.
• During the school days, I will choose something convenient and fast such as a burger or
pizza, to reduce mealtime and thus increase more study time. However, sometimes I am
not in a rush; I prefer a complete diet such as sauteed meat over rice with a salad aside.
• The most surprising part of my 3-Day Average report was that I had fulfilled most of the
vitamin and mineral intake. However, the report had brought my attention to increase the
intake of some essential micronutrients.
• A personal benefit that I gained in doing this project was understanding the DRI range of
the nutrients based on my BMI. Also, this project had brought me to pay attention to my
micronutrient intake.
