Part 2: Minerals and Water
a. Did you meet the target recommendations for the major minerals? If not, what minerals fall below the target numbers?
I did not meet the target recommendations for the major minerals. The minerals fall below the target numbers were calcium, potassium, magnesium, and phosphorous.
b. For each major mineral target that you missed, list one food that you could consume to increase your intake of that mineral.
Calcium: Kale, milk products, or broccoli. Potassium: Apricots or raisins. Magnesium: Spinach or kale. Phosphorous: Seafood, nuts, or seeds.
c. Were you above the targets for any of the major minerals? If so, which ones? Are any of these numbers above the toxicity level for that mineral?

Evaluate your intake of potassium. Did you meet the target intake for this day? If not, what foods could you include in your diet to increase your intake of this mineral?
I did not meet the target intake for this day of potassium. I could eat whole grain and fresh
Fruit.
f. Evaluate your intake of water. Did you meet the recommendations? If not, what dietary modifications could you make?
I did meet the recommendations. I normally drink three to five bottles of water a day.
g. Evaluate your risk for osteoporosis. Did you meet the target amounts for calcium and vitamin D and K? Do you think you need to take supplements for these nutrients? How might you alter food choices to meet your needs? Explain your answer.
I was under the target amounts for calcium and vitamin D and K. I am currently taking a daily supplement. I could eat broccoli, mustard greens, dairy products, kale, tuna, and beef liver.
h. Did you meet the target recommendations for the trace minerals (iron, iodine, chromium, fluoride, copper, zinc, selenium, molybdenum, and manages) for the day you selected? If not, what minerals fall below the target numbers?
I did not meet the target recommendations for the trace minerals. I fall below the
