The day’s diets have a very large deviation from the recommended Australian dietary standards. The dietary guidelines assist people to make healthy choices regarding the food they eat. The main aim of the guidelines is to ensure that the general population takes a diet that promotes a healthy lifestyle and which can minimize the risks of developing diet-related disorders (Ahrens, and Pigeot 1032). Comparison of the Day’s Diet to the Recommended Standards Most of the day’s diets do not conform to the standards recommended by the Australian government. The energy and the total calories are far much less than the recommended standards for the two nutrients. The RDI value for the energy and the total calories are 13,064.50 kJ and 3,121.10 kcal respectively. On the other hand, the day’s intakes are 7,136.50 kJ and 1,705.60 kcal in that order. However, the daily protein intake surpasses the recommended standard which is the utmost 39 percent. On the other hand, these people consume larger amounts of protein than what is fit for their bodies. Like the daily protein and energy intakes, the day’s vitamin intakes also exhibit the same trend when compared to the recommended standards. Some of the basic minerals are taken in less quantity while others are taken in larger quantities than the RDIs. People take calcium, potassium, magnesium, and zinc in lower quantities than the RDI. Potassium is the least taken and the intake is about 52 percent less than the RDI. The day’s intake of phosphorous, sodium, and iron exceed the RDI amounts by 16, 19, and 51 percent respectively. It appears that people do not understand or have assumed the importance of the correct amounts of mineral intake. The correct amounts of minerals assist the human body to accomplish its major functions, which include repair and maintenance of bones and tissues, oxygen transportation within the body, growth stimulation and the normalizing of the nervous system (National Health & Medical Research Council 87). The day’s intake of the vitamins also suffers the same problems as that for energy, protein, and minerals. The five most important vitamins, which include thiamine, riboflavin, vitamin C, Niacin, Retinol, have a big variation when compared to the recommended values. The table for the vitamins’ intake reveals that the intakes for thiamine and retinol are less than the RDI values, while the intakes of Riboflavin, Vitamin C, Niacin, and retinol surpass the RDI amounts. Other nutrients such as fiber and water are also not taken according to the recommended amounts. The water intake, in particular, is extremely lower than the RDI value. This indicates that the majority of people rarely take a sufficient amount of water as required. Water is quite essential to the functioning of the human body and without it, the body may begin to experience a number of malfunctions. The fiber daily intake also needs to be stepped up. The consumption of food rich in fiber is less than the recommended standards. The records of the three-day intake are even worse when compared to the required standards. None of the energy-giving food recorded in the three days has met the required standards. Proteins, polyunsat fat, and saturat
