NTR 100 Module 2 Fiber Activity Total: 10 points 1. Using the chart above, how many grams of fiber are recommended for you a day? (1 point): 26g 2. Using the information found in our text on the importance of fiber, list two problems you might experience if you do not get enough fiber: (1 point) poor blood sugar control and constipation 3. Part A: Assume that you eat a typical meal pattern (Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner, and one snack). Use the Daily Fiber Meal Plan table, below, to break down how many grams of fiber you might aim for at each meal/snack to add up to your daily recommended amount. ( For example, if you need 38 grams of fiber a day, you might aim for 11 grams at breakfast, etc. ). The total for the day should add up to your recommended amount. (1 point) Part B: Explore food items on this page: Food Sources of Dietary Fiber | Dietary Guidelines for Americans . For each of the meals/snack, list one to three foods that you might eat at the meal or snack to add up to at least your goal amount for that meal. Be sure to include the name of the food, serving size, and amount of fiber in grams for each food. (1 point for each meal/snack - 4 pt total) Daily Fiber Meal Plan (complete for question 3 Parts A and B) Meal Part A: Grams of Fiber goal per meal Part B: Possible foods to meet fiber goal (list food item, servings size, and grams of fiber) Breakfast 5 ¾ cup of bran flakes (5.5 grams of fiber)
Lunch 10 1 oz of whole wheat tortillas (2.8 grams of fiber) ½ cup of cooked chickpeas (6.3 grams of fiber) ½ avocado (2.5 grams of fiber) Dinner 7 cooked corn (4 grams of fiber) 1 medium potato (3.7 grams of fiber) Snack 4 ¼ cup of dried figs (3.7 grams of fiber) 4a. Now, imagine that you are hitting a fast food restaurant for lunch. Go to this website to explore the nutrition information from various fast food restaurants: Fast Food Nutrition Facts Choose any restaurant, and then choose what you might like to order. Click on “Nutrition Facts” and find how many calories and dietary fiber the meal contains. List the restaurant, the menu item, the calories, and the dietary fiber here: (1.5 point) Panera Bread Napa Almond Chicken Salad Sandwich 630 calories 5g of dietary fiber 4b. Does the menu item meet your fiber goal for lunch, based on your Daily Fiber Meal Plan you created? (1.5 points) If yes, explain why (what ingredients are providing the fiber?). If no, explain how you might boost the fiber in the meal (such as finding something else to order- what would that be? Or, adding additional foods - what foods?) No, the chicken salad sandwich itself does not meet my fiber goal for lunch; however, I usually pair my sandwich with a panera fruit cup which may give the meal the boost it needs to meet my fiber requirements.
