minerals and water should help you along the journey.
 Comment on the food recall activity and the nutrient analysis that
you will perform with the aid of the Food Focus 3.4 program, as well
as the various assignment work and overall diet analysis.
 Outline any challenges you faced along the way and how you
overcame them.

your course work.

9. Reflective Journal - sample
Your entries are about you… and what you learned in the unit.
Your opinions are also important. It’s a REFLECTION… so reflect on
what you learned, what surprised you, how it relates to you.

20. Final Thoughts
 This project is important
 You cannot get this done in a few days or a
week
 So, try to manage your time well
 Take this seriously… you can do it.
 Focus on your own data and nutrient
requirements – this is about YOU
 Show (with charts/graphs) exactly which
nutrients you are getting enough of, and
not enough of.
