The goal of this assignment is to examine food available at fast food establishments
and examine dietary practices of the everyday consumer while reviewing key
nutritional components.
Fast Food Menu Creation Overview
For this assignment, you have been asked to explore the nutritional value of menu
items at a local fast-food restaurant. Using the available menu items, plan two
meals: the healthiest meal possible and the unhealthiest healthy meal
possible. Both meals should include an entrée, side, beverage and dessert. In a
word document, please answer/discuss the following questions:
Deliverables
1. Describe the healthy meal that you have created from the fast food
restaurant using the nutritional value of menu items.
a. Name the restaurant and then, write a nutritional analysis of the meal
you have created (explain all of the nutrients found in the meal like
carbs, protein, fat, and some essential vitamins and minerals)
b. Discuss your reaction to the analysis-Make sure to explain why you feel
the way you do about this meal. For example, if your meal is composed
primarily of fat, discuss that point; if you meal supplies a lot of sugar per
serving, discuss that as well. Please also remember to link excess or
limited amounts of nutrients with diseases or the potential for disease
(too much fat may put you at risk for heart disease, not enough calcium
may not support bone health, etc. Please make sure this section is as
detailed as possible.
c. How will this information affect your future food choices? Make sure to
explain why/why not you will eat this meal again and support your
answer with the information found in the above sections.

meal you have created (include
macronutrients, key vitamins,
minerals and any other nutrient
worth mentioning); make sure to

cholesterol and any vitamin and
minerals your meals may have. 4 points Discuss your reaction to the analysis
for each meal; what did you think
about each meal? What surprised
you with regard to the nutrient
levels/amounts? In this section, it is
imperative that you compare the
nutrient levels to the standard RDA’s
and make comments such as “in the
unhealthy meal, 40% of the total
calories come from fat and
considering the diet is only supposed
to contain between 20-30% fat for
the entire day, this meal is quite
unhealthy”. Make sure to do this for
both meals. 6 points How will the above information (the
details from the analysis) affect your
future food choices? Will you still go
to the restaurant; will you change
what you will eat; what steps will you 5 points 6 points take with regard to your health in
light of the details you examined
from the analysis? Mechanics (includes name,
citations within body of essay,
proper spelling, grammar, and
