Introduction

Background

This tool was created to help with diabetes management through lifestyle modifications of dietary intake. Based on a sample of dietary intake information, we completed a daily nutritent analysis focusing on protein, fibre and carbohydrate. This tool provided information on food groups to consumed daily and total daily protein, fibre and carbohydrate intake.

Methods

Standardized food group servings and completed nutrient analysis for protein, carbohydrates and fibre content.

Results

Fruit and dairy food group were lacking in daily intake. Total fibre intake is below the recommendations of 25-50g per day. Grains and starches soley contributed to daily carbohydrate intake. Daily vegetables intake is inadequate. Protein intake from the meat and alternative food group is adequate.

Discussion

Based on nutrient analysis, tailored nutrition recommendations can be provided. To obtain a balanced intake, inincreasing fibre intake from whole grains and vegetables and including fruit and dairy products is recommended.
