Analysis Report On The Super Tracker Program

My calorie intake overall was quite high equaling three thousand, two hundred and seven. My recommended intake was two thousand, four hundred and five. This wouldn’t be as much of an issue if I was getting adequate exercise to burn the excess calories and the calories I was consuming were equal to the calories I was burning. I had a recommended amount of two thousand, four hundred and five and an average intake of three thousand, two hundred and seven. My average expenditure was one thousand, seven hundred and fifty three and my average net gain was one thousand

When comparing my calorie, fiber, and cholesterol average intakes to the target intake, I found that both my calorie and fiber intakes were under, and my cholesterol was okay. I was kind of surprised by this because I felt that I had eaten way more calorie and cholesterol rich foods than I actually did. After I looked at the Food Groups and Calories Report, I found that I was under in every category except for protein, in which I was over. The target amount for my grains was 6 ounces, and I only ate 5. For vegetables it was 2.5 cups, and I ate 1. For fruits it was 2 cups, and I ate 0. Dairy was 3 cups, and I ingested ¼ cup. Proteins was 5.5 ounces, and I went way over with 8 ounces. Oils was 6 teaspoons, and I ingested 5 teaspoons.

The recommended kcal intake was 3200kcal/day; my intake for the day that I recorded my 24-hr diet recall exceeded the recommended amount of kcal by 389kcal, which is exceptional but 922kcal of empty calories overly exceeds the recommend amount. A larger portion of unhealthy food items were consumed that day so I could better my intake by planning

For my analysis, I choose to track april seventh through april ninth. There was no particular reason why I picked these days over others, and on a whole they were relatively normal. However, it was at almost the end of spring break, and as I spent it with friends I found myself eating slightly unhealthier than usual. Using SuperTracker.gov, I set my calorie limit as a flexible 1,600 calorie intake that is recommended for a seventeen year old standing at five feet three inches, and weighing around a hundred and twenty pounds. My activity levels vary with my schedule, but on the whole I try to keep a steady exercise routine every few days. Counting calories is new for me, and as I tracked my calorie intake throughout those three days, I

This activity was performed over two days. In this lab I learned how to read labels better on food products. I also learned how challenging it is to keep track of everything you eat. After putting in the data on Monday I realized that my total of calories consumed were lower than they are supposed to be. My BMI number is 20.4. Having that as my BMI is why I need about 2,068 calories a day. On Monday I consumed 756 less calories then I should have. A few things I noticed about my data are; overeating carbs, under eating fiber, and under eating protein. My level of carbs 65 grams above what it should be. Both fiber and protein were under with fiber being 17 grams lower and protein being 6 grams lower. Now taking a look at my

My calories per day on the Super Tracker diet plan was set at two thousand calories per day, carbohydrates in the form of vegetables and fruit I needed four and a half cups daily, protein, five and a half ounces, fats, six teaspoons per day. My diet plan actually consisted of a little more calories than I normally consume. I do not eat as much bread, normally in my diet and this diet plan recommended, three ounces per day in the form of rice, bread, pasta and cereal. I did not consume the recommended dairy plus I always seem to go well above my limit of protein. Eight ounces per week is my suggested limit, however I like to eat more protein than that. At my age, forty-seven, and being in menopause, I am encouraged to consume more calcium and vitamin D in supplement form to make up for what I am lacking in my diet. My recommended intake of calcium needs to be at least twelve hundred milligrams, vitamin D one thousand IU daily, also vitamin C (Thack, 2011). I consume too much sugar and caffeine in coffee form. The sugar I consume counts toward my daily intake of calories, but they are “empty” calories with little to no

After looking at the reports of my "Actual Intakes vs Recommended Intakes" and "Calorie Assessment", almost all the amount of nutrients I consumed did not reach 80 to 110 percent of the recommended level of nutrients intake. In this way, I need to set goals or change my diet to maintain health. For example, my intake of calories was 1,468.07, but the recommended intake of calories was 2,006.03 if I wanted to keep my current weight. According to my 3-day diet reports, I realized that I should eat more foods that contain healthy fats and more vitamins. Due to this, I should consume the food like meat, vegetables, and others. Also, I should be concerned about the macronutrients intake that are the primary nutrients to keep my body healthy.

After reviewing my report that compared my actual intake nutrients to my recommended intake, I learned that I am like most Americans; I do not eat IAW the Food Guidance system. In accordance with chapter four most adults in the “United States consume well over the average of the minimum DRI.” My Diet Analysis recommended a carbohydrate daily intake of 248 grams well over the recommended daily serving of 130 grams for adult and children. My actual intake of carbohydrates was 261 grams averaged over seven days. After reviewing my averaged carbohydrate intake, I decided to review the carbohydrate intake for each individual day to see if I was above or below the recommended 130 grams daily serving. I learned that I was never below the recommended daily amount, however; I was

By making a three-day food log I could see that I am eating very well. Like we have discussed in class most of us are getting more than enough of our fair share of calorie intake. Taking this into account I knew that my calorie count was going to be high but I was a bit surprise that I averaged 3,700 a day. I am not worried about this because I am training for the Chicago Marathon so eating good is part of my preparation. When it comes to vegetables I do need to eat a few more servings per day but other than that I eat more than enough to satisfy the recommended amounts from the food guide pyramid. What I do need to lower my extra sugar and fat intake. Sugar has always been a problem for me, I just love it too much. However about six years

According to my three-day food diary report, I demonstrated a diet pattern that truly lacks a healthy balance of vital nutrients. First of all, my kilocalorie intake nearly quadrupled that of my dietary reference intake (DRI) range. Secondly, my total lipids reported as considered within my DRI range. However, it was at the highest allowable percentage. Therefore, had it been one percent higher, it would have been above my recommended dietary reference intake.

My meal plan aimed to get quantity instead of quality, and I was not adept toward the nutritional content of the meals. I have a habit of buying fruit from a local fruit vendor that lives near me, but I was more preferential to taste than nutrition in my dining options outside of home. I also was unable to record my progress on some days due to malfunction of my phone. I relied upon the app and did not know how to manually log my calories accurately. This caused me to miss some of the

While my total calories and added sugar intake are about right, I need to be careful in the future because the current data shows that I am approaching the upper limit.

I attached a copy of my report because it is so interesting; I don’t believe that I ate abnormally for me. I was almost double on the calorie intake! My intake of fats and cholesterol were over the suggested intake. My sodium intake was twice the recommended amount, and I never added seasoning to my food. My fiber, potassium, iron, and magnesium were under required amounts. My intake of vitamin A, E, K, and folate were also under required amounts. I did have DHA and EPA because I had a salmon BLT for lunch, but I don’t incorporate fish into my diet but maybe once a week if that. I had no caffeine intake; I recently made diet changes for myself that removed diet soda from my daily intake. Prior to that I lived off diet soda! So I understand that change is difficult. Although now I occasionally

It's valid! For a timeframe, you'll do extraordinary by restricting your calories. In any case, restricting your calorie consumption makes you drained and baffled. One day you'll go after that solace nourishment and before you know it, you've enjoyed. This is the place a great many people fizzle. They'll disrupt their endeavors since they're eager, then feel disappointed when their "resolution" blurs away, and abandon their weight reduction arrangement. You don't need to spend your life checking

In January, my diet proved to be moderately unhealthy. On several counts, I missed the target levels for a person of my gender and age. I took in slightly more calories than the target 1724 per day versus a target of 1600. I also ate more protein (55g versus 46g) and far more carbohydrates (256g versus 130g). My fiber intake was low (10g versus 25g). My saturated fat was 10% of total calories, whereas the target should be lower than 10%. My cholesterol was within the target range, so was one of the few things that I really did not need to change.
