Health analysing tools

These are the food analysing tools that I used to access my diet. The Healthy Food Pyramid and the Food Intake Assessment images have been taken from the Health Promotion Board website while my personal Recommended Daily Allowance was counted by http://www.consumer.org.nz/reports/rdi-calcualtor/rdi-calculator.

1. The healthy diet pyramid helps me to gauge what I should be eating to have a well-balanced diet. The table below the pyramid shows me examples of a serving of each type of food I should eat in a day from the various food groups, allowing me to moderate my diet accordingly.

2. This is my Recommended Daily Allowance (RDA) and it has been calculated based on my age, height, weight and amount of exercise. It allows me to modify my diet to meet the limitations of the RDA and try to achieve a healthy diet.




3. This interactive health tool allows me to record my meals and achieve an analysis of different components of nutrients in what I have eaten. I can then cut down or increase on certain nutrients or foods to obtain a healthier diet.
