DAP #2: EVALUATE YOUR CARBOHYDRATE INTAKE (50 possible points) According to the Macronutrient Ranges Report, (note: this is a very short report listing only Carbohydrate, Fat, Protein & Alcohol) what percentage of your average Does total calorie intake come from carbohydrates? Is this in line with the recommendation that 45-65% of the total calories in your diet should come from carbohydrates? (yes or no) Using your “ Intake vs. Goal Report” of your 3-Day Average bar graph , how many grams of carbohydrates do you consume on average? According to the DRI , what range of carbohydrates (in grams ) is recommended to support your current weight? It is estimated that you should have at least 130 grams of carbohydrates each day, and ideally much more. What condition does this minimum amount help prevent? What nutrient does this minimum amount of carbohydrate help to “spare”? Carbohydrates are important for health. Check which of the foods below do not contain Carbohydrates : _Are carbohydrates_______ Whole grains _Are Carbohydrates_______ Fruits _____Are Carbohydrates___ Legumes _Not Carbohydrates_______ Fats and Oils _____Are Carbohydrates___ Vegetables ___Not carbohydrates_____ Meats ____Are Carbohydrates____ Milk Dietary Guidelines point to including nutrient dense foods to supply the body with the right balance of nutrients. For Carbohydrate intake this means limiting refined starches, limiting added sugars, and including whole grains, fruits, and vegetables, foods that are packed with a variety of nutrients and higher in fiber. Carbohydrates can be divided into 3 categories: Complex carbohydrates such as fiber and your starch (bread, cereals, crackers, veggies, etc.) Naturally occurring simple sugars (foods including fruit, milk, 100% juice, etc.) Concentrated simple sugars (cake, soda, candy, juice drinks, puddings, fruit smoothies, dried fruit, ice cream, frozen yogurt, etc.) Many of these foods contain refined starches and added sugars it is recommended that you limit them. A dietary goal is that no more than 10% of total daily calories should come from refined and processed sugars/sugary foods. Locate the “Sugar” column on each day’s spreadsheet to assess your intake. Identify the date with the highest amount of sugar. This is day (date): 1/28/2023 1 | Page F&N 303 39.799% Yes 261.818g, or 230.29 – 332.64 Ketosis/Diabetes Proteins 170.514
DAP #2: EVALUATE YOUR CARBOHYDRATE INTAKE (50 possible points) Using the chart below, assess the variety of your intake of carbohydrate foods and look at your intake of simple sugars. For the 1 day you consumed the most sugar: (use the above date) Date: _1/28/2023________ Sort the CHO-containing foods into the following 3 categories. (See breakdown above) List the foods/beverages consumed by you, including the grams of sugar they provided, as directed in this table. (Round the number to the nearest whole number.) Column 1 Column 2 Column 3 Complex CHO/Starches Grams of sugar Naturally occurring simple sugars Grams of sugar Concentrated simple sugars: Added sugars Grams of sugar Bread, White, Toasted MCDONALDS French Fries, Large, 2.852g 0g Apples, Granny Smith w/Skin, Raw KRAFT Natural Cheese, Sharp Cheddar, 2 % Reduced Fat Milk w/ Added Calcium, Shredded Banana, Eggs, Scrambled with Milk and Butter, SWANSON HUNGRY MAN Entree, Fried Chicken, Boneless, Frozen, COCA-COLA Soda, Coke MCDONALDS BIG MAC Hamburger, BOB EVANS Bacon Bits, 25g 98.133g 8.69g 2g Total number of grams of sugar from complex and refined starch sources 2.852 grams Do not total this amount as these are nutritious sources of sugars X Total number of grams of sugar from refined sources 133.823 grams Add together the total number of grams of sugar in Columns 1 and 3. This represents the more refined or concentrated sugars. To convert grams to calories, multiply the number of grams by 4 (1 gram CHO provides 4 cals.) List the total calories from refined sugars. Look under the calorie column in your spreadsheet for the date with the highest amount of sugar. List the total calories consumed for this day only . Determine the percentage of your total calories from refined sugars. First, divide the calories from refined sugars by your total calories for the day . List this number . Next, multiply this by 100 . What percentage of calories come from refined sugars ? 2 | Page F&N 303 136.673g 1054.60 Cal 3472.173 Cal 25.404 2540
DAP #2: EVALUATE YOUR CARBOHYDRATE INTAKE (50 possible points) Did you consume less than 10% of total calories from refined sugar? (yes or no) Estimate grams of excess sugar consumed annually. First, multiply the total grams (the total number of grams of sugar from columns 1 and 3 in the table above) by 365 (days in a year). What is this? Convert this to pounds by dividing this number by 454 (1 pound = 454 grams). How many pounds is this? Note: 105 pounds is average , but not a good intake ! What one change to your diet would significantly lower your sugar intake ? (You may comment on the nutritious sources, if they account for a lot.) Don’t say eat less sugar! Give an example! What conclusion can you say about the type (complex, naturally occurring or simple sugars) of carbohydrate you consume? Which CHO type constitutes the majority of your intake? Fiber is a complex carbohydrate. Fiber is found in plant foods, your fruits, vegetables, whole grains and legumes. There are two forms of fiber and both forms, soluble and insoluble fibers, provide many health benefits. How many grams of fiber did you consume on average? Look at your Intake vs. Goal Report . In general, the fiber recommendation is 25 grams for women, and 38 grams for men. Does your intake meet this recommended level? (yes or no) The benefits of consuming adequate amounts of fiber in your diet include all of the following EXCEPT : (choose one) _____lowering blood cholesterol _____help prevent colon cancer _False improve mineral absorption _____help prevent hemorrhoids and diverticulitis Look at your 3-Day Intake Spreadsheet reports. Which day provided you with the highest intake of fiber. This is day (date): 3 | Page F&N 303 No? 49,885.645 109.88 Lowering my intake on pop will greatly increase my sugar consumption. In addition, replacing fast food with health option such as salad and grains can help to this problem too. I eat an above-average amount of sugar (Refined sugar). While not necessarily bad, it still provides a danger to my future health. Concentrated simple sugars seems to be the main benefactors to my sugar consumption. 230.29g 20.185-24.078g 1/28/2023
