Part A

Your job is to create a menu for one day that includes three meals and one snack. Your menu should add up to 2,000 kcal/day. (Use Figure 1.11 on page 19 in your textbook as a guide.) Your menu should include recommended amounts of foods from each of the MyPlate food groups.

Part A is worth 50 points. The format you use is up to you, but your work should be free of errors in spelling and grammar. Part A will be graded with this rubric:

· List of foods for breakfast, noting serving sizes and macronutrients, vitamins, and minerals contained in each food. (10 points possible)

· List of foods for lunch, noting serving sizes and macronutrients, vitamins, and minerals contained in each food. (10 points possible)

· List of foods for dinner/supper, noting serving sizes and macronutrients, vitamins, and minerals contained in each food. (10 points possible)

· Food for snack, noting serving size and macronutrients, vitamins, and minerals contained in food. (5 points possible)

· Servings should follow recommendations in Figure 1.11 in your textbook. (10 points possible)

· Presentation is free of errors in spelling and grammar, and is easy to understand. (5 points possible)
