NUR1120 Assessment 2: Food and Beverage Diary with Dietary Analysis

This assignment, for the NUR1120 course, requires students to maintain a detailed 3-day food and beverage diary, recording the time, type, and amount of all consumed items. The assignment includes the completed diary for Sunday, Saturday and Friday. The core task involves comparing the recorded dietary intake against the Australian Dietary Guidelines, specifically identifying the recommended daily intake of fruits and vegetables. Students must reflect on their own dietary habits in relation to these guidelines, providing analysis and insights based on the provided diary and referencing relevant academic articles. The assignment emphasizes the application of nutritional knowledge to personal dietary practices and the importance of aligning food choices with established health recommendations.
