Nutrition Assessment

The Nutrition assessment is a personal 3-day food diary. The diary will determine the client’s daily caloric intake and break down his/her food consumption into numerous categories to determine daily intakes, such as vitamin, mineral, protein and fat intakes. In addition, the report will include nutritional values of the foods and a “recommendation” list based on your nutritional goals.
