Your Task:
Highlight and determine which nutrients you have consumed in that meal. Use the internet to help you find which nutrients each food contains.
Note: for each ingredient, you should try to highlight the most dominant nutrient present. For micronutrients (vitamins and minerals), try to include them where possible, as these numbers will be smaller and most likely never have a high value in any of the ingredients.
Here is an example:
Food Description
Macronutrients
Micronutrients
Proteins
Fats

- Do you think your meal was nutritious? Why or why not? Please explain using evidence from your findings and chart results.
What are macronutrients and micronutrients and what is the difference between the needs of these nutrients?
