YOUR CHART SHOULD LOOK SOMETHING LIKE THIS FOR YOUR LEAST HEALTHY AND THEN YOUR MOST
HEALTHY DAY
DIVIDE EVERTHING IN OTHER WORDS IF IT IS A BURGER SEPARATE OUT THE BUN; LETTUCE; MAYO; ETC
TOTAL EACH DAY AND COMPARE EACH DAY TO RDA’S USING A PARAGRAPH OR TWO FOR YOUR
COMPARISON
DECIDE WHICH OF THE TWO DAYS WOULD BE EASIER TO COMPLY WITH THE RDA’S

HAVE TO USE THE GRAMS/CALORIES TO CALCULATE YOUR OWN RDA’S
YOU WILL HAVE TO ALSO LOOK UP THE AMOUNT OF CALORIES NEEDED FOR YOUR AGE GROUP AND
ACTIVITY LEVEL
