Food Recall And Analysis Nutrition Spring 2003 Food Recall and Analysis Completing a three day recall of all the food a person eats can be time consuming, eye opening and even a little fun. I wrote down everything I ate for 3 days, entered the information into the computer and was in for quite a shock. You must first have a little history about my current eating habits. I am enrolled in a weight loss program called Weight Watchers. Therefore, I already write down everything I eat. Then I assign the foods point values based on WW calculations. I can eat as much or as little as I want, as long as I remain in the points range. I also figured my that my BMI is 23, and I should receive 1500 to 2000 calories per day to maintain a healthy weight. After completing this assignment I truly had a better understanding of what I was eating, not just how many ‘points’ it was worth. I also quickly decided that even though I was losing weight I needed to make some changes. The first thing that I noticed was the amount of calories I was eating per day.
