The Complete Nutrition Questionnaire
 If you want a bigger picture,
consider the complete nutrition questionnaire. The cost is $15,
and it provides estimates of about 25 nutrients.
Do you want to improve your nutrition and your eating habits?
The first step is to find out how you're doing now.
Are you getting too much saturated fat in your diet? Or, maybe
your fat intake is fine, but you're not getting enough vitamin
E or vitamin C. Studies conducted by The Centers for Disease
Control and the U.S. Department of Agriculture have found that
many Americans do not meet the recommendations set forth in
the USDA Food Guide Pyramid. As a result, many men and women
are not getting enough zinc, calcium, antioxidants and other
essential nutrients. NutritionQuest's Complete Nutrition Questionnaire
will give you the information you need to make the right choices
about your diet.
The Complete Nutrition Questionnaire is a paper and pencil form
that you can do at home in about half an hour. It asks you how
often you consume around 100 common foods and you just fill
in the bubbles. You send us the form, we perform a computer
analysis and mail (or e-mail) the results back to you. It's
as simple as that. We will soon have the complete form online
as well.
What does the nutrition report tell you? Your average intake
and the recommended levels of:
Macronutrients: calories,
fat, saturated fat, monounsaturated fat, polyunsaturated
fat, percent of calories from fat, protein, carbohydrates,
cholesterol, fiber
Antioxidants: Vitamin A,
beta-carotene, vitamin C, vitamin E
B-vitamins: Vitamin B1,
B2, folic acid, B6, niacin
Minerals: Calcium, sodium,
potassium, iron, zinc
Food group servings: fruits,
vegetables, dairy, meats, grains, fats & sweets
Nutrients from vitamin supplements
(if you take them)
Your top three dietary sources
of: Calories, fat, saturated fat, sodium, beta-carotene,
folate and vitamin C.
Personalized suggestions
for improving your nutrition, based on your own reported intake.
Does it work?
The complete questionnaire (also known as the Block questionnaire)
is widely used by research groups around the country. The validity
of this questionnaire has been tested in numerous scientific
studies. It was found to be comparable to a detailed food record
in identifying people with high fat or low nutrient intakes.
