The document provides instructions for completing a nutrition project organizer for one of three clients: a gamer, busy salesperson, or marathon runner. It involves gathering information about the client's age, height, weight, activity level and calculating their BMI. Students then identify key nutrients the client needs based on dietary guidelines and food sources for each. They create a 7-day menu meeting MyPlate recommendations and analyze whether it provides sufficient food groups each day. The organizer is designed to help students develop a customized nutrition plan for their assigned client.
