3 Day Diet Analysis

Based on a 24 Hour Recall of my diet, results using NutriCalc Plus report that my food intake lacked a healthy balance of all food groups. My Grain intake reached only 60% of the My Plate daily recommendations. My Vegetable intake was a mere 50% of the recommended servings. Additionally, I consumed 84% of the daily recommendations for the Dairy Group. Nonetheless, I did exceed the recommendations for the Fruit Group and Protein Group with intakes of 155% and 107%, respectively.

According to my three day diet analysis it seems like my eating habits are poor. Not necessarily that I am consuming too many bad foods but I am not getting the all around nutrients that I need on a daily basis. Sometimes not eating enough. Or ot finding time to eat at all is a big issue in this. Due to my job and the lack of time I have at home it is hard for me to get the nutrients I need on a daily basis. With the target that is shown of six oz. of grains two and a half cups of vegetables, two cups of fruits, two cups of dairy and five and a half oz. of protein foods I fell short in most of the areas that were targeted for me. My biggest two areas of consumption was refined grains and protein.

I have learned a lot from this two-day diet analysis assignment. In my two day assessment, I recorded my food intake, quantities, drinks, snacks, condiments, where and who I was with during the meal, the time of day, and the amount of time I spent eating. I was able to analyze my diet to examine what I was eating and what types of nutrients I was getting. I then compared all aspects with my recommended levels of nutrients for my dietary recommended intake. I learned that my eating habits are not the best and could lead to serious health problems in the future that may be detrimental.

The purpose of this assignment is to increase self-awareness of the student by analyzing personal nutritional intake and activity routine throughout the course. In turn, the student will be able to help others modify their diet and activity, and improve overall wellness. An examination of a personal food and activity assessment will provide the student with essential data from which to change their health and wellness behaviors.

The 17 Day diet is a diet that claims to help you lose weight quickly but in a safe and effective way. The diet has four, 17-day cycles that change in order to keep your body “guessing.” According to WebMd (2013), the way that the diet works is every 17 days it changes your calorie count and food combinations. The 17 Day diet promotes lean protein, good fats, and probiotics and highly opposes fried, fatty, processed, foods and alcohol consumption. In the first cycle, the diet starts users with a very low 1,200 calorie per day eating plan. At the beginning phase, users are started off eating high protein and no carbs, but as the diet goes on, they are gradually allowed to add more foods. The name 17 Day Diet gives the impression that the diet is a mere 17 days, however, it is not. Each of the four cycles last 17 days a piece. Each phase changes every 17 days so that a person’s body does not get used to the same foods. As far as price goes, the 17 day diet does not appear to be horribly expensive. The plan in the book provides meal plan options and the cookbook adds variety. However, according to USnews.com (2014), because users will be buying lots of fresh foods, it can cause the diet to become pricey. Organic is not required which does help out on the cost.

As I began this project I saw no purpose of keeping track of all these different things. I proceeded through the project and started to keep track of my intake, macronutrient range, fat breakdown and stage of change reports and I found it quite helpful to keep track of all those things. This project made me ensure that I was on the right path to becoming a healthy human being. I did not realize how unhealthy my eating habits were until this project made me examine that, which was a good thing. I still find it hard to maintain a strict healthy diet while being at college. Sometimes I am forced to deviate from my healthy diet, but this project helps me get back on track.

My current eating habits are not very good. I am well aware of this, and my excuse is that I am a father of two that works full time, attends online college part time, has a dad that is very medically involved and children that are in sports, and I have recently joined a gym that I try to attend three nights a week. My life is very rushed and busy all the time.

For this three day diet analysis project I wanted to eat as I normally would and be honest about all that I ate, to analyze not only what and how much I was eating, but also to see how healthy my diet really is. By doing so I can see if any of my diet choices are putting me at risk for certain health diseases, and what changes can be made to make my diet healthier. After analyzing my diet, I would say I am fairly healthy, though I am out of the target range in a few areas. My profile calculated from my weight and height indicates that I have a BMI of 20.5. This is considered to be healthy; the healthy range is anywhere between 18.5-25. This was reassuring to hear because I am happy at my current weight, and

What happens if you eat too few carbohydrates? What happens if you eat too few lipids?

The three-day diet analysis was interesting. There were many positive attributes to it and definitely negative ones. Over the course of the three days, which were Friday, Saturday and Sunday: and figured this would give a good depiction of what I was consuming on a regular basis. In some places I was consuming more than I should be and in some I was consuming less than I should be. There were also those places were I was getting just the right amount. It is so interesting to me to be able to find out what I am consuming and how I am consuming it. Being an active male, it was most interesting of what I ate, what my average of the three days were, and the plan on how I would correct the way I eat to make it a more healthier lifestyle.

Growing up I have always given my dad a hard time for his weight until about four years ago when he pulled out his wedding tux and I tried it on and could not fit in it. I am currently six foot four inches and weight approximately one hundred and fifty pounds so you can share my amazement when I found out that I couldn’t fit into my two hundred and fifty pound father’s tux. My dad got married when he was twenty two and I just turned twenty two, so I believe that it is about time to start being more a wear of what I eat. Being that I am currently underweight, I haven’t had to discipline myself when it comes to eating too much. My

Russell was aged 34 and weighed 268 pounds when he decided enough was enough. Over a year later (and sitting at 163 pounds) he shared his story with us and showed that you can change, and often without spending any money on fancy programs or diets.

Most women are of the opinion that most weight loss programs consume more time to get their desired results. If you would like to look good for your next anniversary, you have to follow a strict diet plan, which is an irritating routine for you. Of course, taking the long-tenure approach to achieve your desired weight loss is shrewd, as you can lose your extra pounds steadily and slowly, making it possible that you will avoid them. However, there are more effective and affordable ways to improve your metabolism, so you can burn calories and lose your additional weight more rapidly. That effective and affordable way is following the 3 Week Diet system.
