Analysis of My New Diet

The bar graph shows that I've gotten better in most areas but I still need to increase my Vitamin D. I've gotten so much more nutrients with the healthy choices I made that day.

But according to MyPlate, I am not getting enough grains, vegetables, or milk and yogurt. So, I do need to monitor that I am getting ALL of the food groups and not just some.
