Nutrition Analysis and Recipe Modification Project - Fall 2024

This assignment involves a detailed analysis of a recipe using a nutrition analysis program, likely Cronometer, to assess its nutritional content, including macronutrients, micronutrients, and dietary exchanges. The student is required to input the recipe's ingredients and directions, and then analyze the nutritional data generated by the program. The analysis includes the evaluation of calories, fats, carbohydrates, protein, and various vitamins and minerals. Furthermore, the assignment requires the student to compare the recipe's nutritional profile with recommended daily intakes and dietary exchange guidelines. The student must also calculate the percentage of the recipe's composition from fat, carbohydrates, protein, and alcohol, and then propose modifications to improve the recipe's nutritional value. The aim is to understand the nutritional composition of a recipe and make informed changes to promote healthier eating habits. The data presented includes detailed breakdowns of the recipe's nutritional content, nutrient targets, and comparison to recommended values.
