Food Intake Assessment

I used the "Food Intake Assessment" tool from the HPB website to analyse my recipe and this is the table of results I obtained.





As obtained from the results, my dish is lacking in dietary fibre and calcium. To compensate the lack of dietary fibre, I could use whole wheat fusilli pasta rather than white fusilli pasta as it is richer in dietary fibre. As for the lack in calcium, I could add some flax seeds to the dish, which are high in calcium. According to http://www.healthaliciousness.com/, dried herbs are a very good source of calcium which I have already made use of in my dish. Hence, I am unsure as to why my dish is still lacking in calcium.
