Recipe Modification and Analysis: Nutrition and Dietary Changes

This assignment focuses on recipe modification and nutritional analysis. The student is tasked with finding a recipe with at least seven ingredients, entering the ingredients and directions, and then analyzing its nutritional content using a nutrition analysis program like Cronometer. The analysis includes calculating calories, macronutrients (fat, carbohydrates, protein), and micronutrients (vitamins and minerals). The assignment requires the student to compare the recipe's nutritional profile to recommended daily intakes and to suggest modifications to improve its nutritional value. The student must also calculate the percentage of the recipe's composition from fat, carbohydrates, protein, and alcohol and consider dietary exchanges based on provided guidelines. The provided solution includes a sample Cronometer diary entry demonstrating the nutritional analysis of a meal, including details on calorie breakdown, macronutrient targets, and vitamin/mineral intake.
