What was your perception of dietary fat before reading this week’s resources?
Before I read this week’s resources, I just thought that you weren’t supposed to eat a lot of dietary
fat because it was bad for you. I also thought that the lower the dietary fat on the nutrition label
was better it was for your health. Even though I thought you were supposed to eat foods with
lower fat, I never really paid it any attention and would eat whatever and however much of it.

Below is a sample one-day menu for Mrs. Smith. Her doctor just told her she is at risk for developing
heart disease since her cholesterol is a little high. The doctor has asked her to meet with a registered
dietitian to learn more about heart-healthy fats to include and which unhealthy fats to avoid. She hopes to
meet with a dietitian next week, but in the meantime, she needs help making these changes.
List five suggestions for Mrs. Smith’s diet. Provide only changes that address the goals with her meal
planning as mentioned above. Tell her which food she should omit and with what you would replace it.
You may also change portion sizes. Highlight (yellow only please) or bold the item you are changing and
then write the change next to that. You may make more than five changes, but if you do, you will only
receive full credit when all changes correctly match the assigned directions.
