Exceeds - For the items listed in the Nutrients section as "Exceeds (over)", enter strategies that you can complete now to normalize these numbers (substitute or eliminate foods, decrease portion sizes).
If you did not "exceed" on any of the categories please briefly explain why?
My exceeds were carbohydrates and sodium.
For carbohydrates, I can work on substituting high-carb options with lower-carb alternatives such as swapping out white bread for whole grain, pasta for zoodles, or potato chips for veggie sticks. I can also decrease portion sizes of carbohydrate-rich foods like rice, pasta, and bread.
For sodium, I can reduce my intake by cooking more meals at home using fresh ingredients instead of pre-packaged or processed foods. I can also flavor my meals with herbs and spices instead of salt, and avoid adding extra salt to my dishes. Additionally, I can choose low-sodium options when buying canned goods or condiments.
