Diet And Exercise Analysis Presentation

In life, many people participate in various daily events and activities that help them enjoy being who they are. People may enjoy getting together with friends, going to the mall, going to an amusement park or simply finding relaxation in nature. However, a big part of everyone’s life is of course eating and many people find pleasure in doing so. Eating is a very enjoyable and delectable must for everyone but should be done so, like everything in life, in a smart and intelligent way. Being smart and perceptive when eating is a large part of nutrition.

To determine the level of my fiber intake from a 3 day sample of my diet, I performed a Prospective Diet Analysis. On average, I consumed 22.3 grams of fiber, just missing the recommendation of 25 grams. Coherent to the findings of the related studies, my cholesterol intake decreased and by the third day totaled 124.5 mg, which relates to 42% of the Daily Recommended Intake of 300 mg.

Proper nutrition is important in maintaining a long and healthy life. Most Americans are rushed due to their busy work schedules, and do not take the time to plan their diets properly. Like me, most Americans are unaware of the importance of eating a healthy diet and consume too many foods without the proper nutrients. Throughout my life I have been fortunate. I have not had any major health problems, and have been able to consume most foods without having to worry about gaining weight. These last two years, however, I started to gain weight and have become concerned with my diet. Changing my poor eating habits has been difficult for me, however, having this assignment has taught me that it is not as difficult as I previously

I was surprised that the amount of carbohydrates I consumed on both days was below what was recommended for me. They are usually my weakness so I expected them to be too high.

In my Diet Journal, I recorded all the food I ate over the weekend with the best accuracy I could attempt to do. But one of the factors that made my food diary inaccurate was that I couldn’t find every detail and percentage of fat, carbohydrates, and proteins in everything I ate. Also, all of the amounts and servings were approximations, not exact amounts. I was able to record everything I ate, but accuracy may have been affected by estimations and sources. The calorie intake I had over the three day period ranged from 1900-2500 calories. This was over my 1800 BMR, due to the food choices and fluctuation in diet.

The final training method performed for the day was a fartlek exercise. Each repetition was comprised of a 40 second period of full intensity with a 20 second period of slow jogging given as rest. This was repeated three times to complete a full set. It was noted in my training diary that this was a fault due to the work to rest ratio set. Despite my aerobic capacity being deemed ‘excellent’, it was not practical to allow such a higher work than rest. This is because of the training principle ‘progressive overload’ which implies that “the load needs to be slowly increased as we become accustomed to the existing level of resistance to bring about further improvements.” This suggests that training loads should become more intense over a period of time, not increased too abruptly or with too much intensity. As the body has not been given time to adapt to this high training intensity of 2:1, it could lead to the possibility of injury. Implications of injury occurring may lead to fitness levels either plateauing or decreasing. This is due to the training principle ‘reversibility’ which states that “fitness improvements will be lost as training

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

My current physical condition is excellent. I am playing many different types of sports which strength a range of muscles. I participate in the sports not only because I enjoy them but also because I am able to keep in shape. I am not only in excellent physical condition from my sports but also from my diet and sleeping patterns. I eat any type of vegetables and fruits including brussel sprouts and beets. I sleep for over eight hours by going to bed by nine thirty and waking up at six thirty. This gives me the perfect amount of energy to be able to start school on weekdays. This is why my current physical condition is exceptional.

First, on a daily basis of my high school years (my Junior year to be exact), I would come home with exhaustion or be overstressed mainly because of my weight training and AP US course. The reason I had chosen weight training course was because I wanted to be in good health and for my AP course I had chose it because I wanted to challenge myself. In my training course is similar to a regular physical education classes, but more intense as you are working out every day some days with weights and only with cardio which I love, but I would also be competitive, especially in running

For my first ride, I gave myself a little test. I set a timer for three hours and would not

Since our health is controlled by our diet, we highly need to consider the type of food we consume. Most of us shop for food that is tasty, but not necessarily healthy. Most our food today has a large amount of fat, salt, and other ingredients that can be unhealthy.

This dietary analysis project showed me how much I really do eat in a day and that everything that I do consume is not the best for my health. I think the things that may influence my eating habits are my family and friends. Both sides of my family loves to cook which usually means high calorie and high fat food. My parents always taught me to not waste food and to always eat everything I was given, even though I learned in the class later back that the habit of cleaning your plate is not always the healthiest thing to do for yourself. But, I grew up thinking this so my parents telling me this has made a huge impact on my eating habits. They also taught me how important it was to eat a lot of fruit and vegetables as well. I have carried this with me throughout the years and always try to get enough into my diet. Usually, when my friends and I go out when like to go to a restaurant to eat which means we are not worrying about how much we eat and what we are eating. This has influenced my eating habits because everytime I hang out with friends, I automatically think we have to get the unhealthiest food .

Obesity is excess of human body fat. The persons accumulating too much body fat are known as obese people. Obesity is an alarming threat globally. In medical terms, the individuals having at least 20 percent higher bodyweight are to be considered obese, which is able to affect their health in negative manners. The persons with BMI (Body Mass Index) from 25 to 29.9 may be considered as over weighted, and they may also have several health Problems. In 1997, the obesity has been declared as a global epidemic with major health implications by WHO (World Health Organization) (WHO, 2001). According to the findings of an annual survey from 1999 to 2000 by National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey, in the United States, the prevalence of obesity and overweight in both youth and children was noted as over 15 percent. While since the 1960s, this figure has been tripled as well (Ogden CL et al, 2003). Additionally, around 80 percent of youth with obesity has also been supposed to continue with the trend of their obesity even into their adulthood (Whitaker RC et al, 1997 and Guo SS, Chumlea WC, 1999).
