Diet+Analysis+Collab

Work together on your diet analysis on this page. If you are stumped for ideas/techniques to modify a specific aspect of your diet, throw it out to the class, and see what their ideas are. If you have a great idea or suggestion, offer it here! This is a chance for you to collaborate as pre-professionals, just like you will "out there!" I expect to see this page FULL of creative ideas!
