The Nutrition Group: Recipe and Nutritional Analysis

"You are what you eat!" our mothers admonished us when we were teens filling up on fast food fries and hamburgers. They knew high-fat fries and burgers offered poor nutrition. However, it isn't always so easy to determine how "good" or "bad" food is for us. How do you really know that what you're eating contains the right nutrients for you? Your typical diet may not be as nutritious, or as non-nutritious, as you think.

That is the reason our Registered Dietitians perform computer analyses of diets. Simply keep track of what you eat and drink for at least three typical days, (including a Saturday or Sunday.) Bring this food diary* to us, and we will evaluate your diet, examining both macro-nutrients and micro-nutrients. We will analyze your diet for amounts of:

• Fat

• Sodium
• Calories
• Cholesterol
• Carbohydrates
• Vitamins

• Minerals

• Sugar

• Protein

We then will give you a comprehensive report containing our findings and our recommendations for improving your diet. Our recommendations will be based upon your medical condition(s), age, lifestyle, and other needs. For example, we may suggest you eat certain foods to increase your iron level or to decrease your sodium intake. After following our reasonable recommendations, you will be able to manage your health condition(s), increase your energy levels, and/or enhance your athletic performance.
