Question

Dairy: The MyPlate tells us that we should include low fat dairy sources in our diet. Review Your MyPlate percentage and discuss if your intake is adequate and what this means in relation to your health. Identify at least 3 dairy sources from your Spread Sheet Report and report indicate if they are low fat or whole fat. If your intake met the recommendation discuss what you do to have an adequate dairy consumption. If your percentage is below 85% state the foods that you can incorporate into your diet to improve your dairy intake. Discuss when and how you will improve your percentage in order for you to meet your daily recommendation. *Dairy--If you are lactose intolerant or avoid dairy, develop a detailed plan as to how you can obtain calcium in your diet.

Answer 1

To begin with I am a lactose intolerant person. So I hardly consume any type of dairy product

So since iam 22 years old i would need 1000mg of calcium per day.Mximum is 2500mg

Calcium Source	mg
5 Almonds	14.9
2 figs	65
16 ounces of Almond milk with my coffee	680
8 ounces of orange juice	300
Total	1059.9

.Looking at the data i seem to have enough amount of calcium needed everyday.

Since I'm lactose intoleran, I keep it in mind to drink alot of almond milk to keep up with my calcium intake on a day to day basisi.
