I eat some dairy, but I do not eat bad carbs. So keep that in mind when you do the 1 week of food log.)

Assignments should also be grammatically correct (PROOFREAD, run spell, and grammar check!) and include proper APA citations as required (in-text citations as needed and reference page in APA format). Turnitin is used to prevent plagiarism and to help you identify how to properly cite any borrowed sources. Check your percentage and report! In general, if it is over 35%, you will not receive credit for the assignment. But you need to review it; sometimes it picks up references, which obviously not count against you. Note: To help avoid plagiarism, do NOT cut and paste and information from a web site or other document into your assignments. https://youtu.be/VNNspI8C5J4
