Question
Create an original, well-balanced menu for 1 day (breakfast, lunch, dinner, and snacks). Your menu should include at least 25 grams of fiber and less than 300 milligrams of cholesterol for the entire day. The menu must include:
Accurate portion sizes – For example, 1.5 cups of Cheerios -- do not say “1 bowl” or “1 serving”
Realistic amounts and types of foods – would someone actually eat what your menu recommends?
Balance and variety – make sure you include adequate amounts from all food groups: fruits, vegetables, grains, dairy and/or high calcium foods, protein foods (animal and/or vegetable proteins)
Identify how many grams of fiber and how many milligrams of cholesterol is in EACH food item. I suggest you do this in a chart form (see below example).
Provide the total grams of fiber and the total milligrams of cholesterol for your entire day’s menu.
Follow the “Guidelines for Assigments” for the format of your assignment. Be sure to provide the references you used as your source for the fiber and cholesterol contents of the foods. Note: If you used the nutrition information from the product package, indicate this with an asterisk (*).
