Dietitian Research Paper

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.

I have always had a passion for education and being at Saint Vincent Academy, I have grown into a passionate young woman. Academically, I have been exposed to many different classes such as American History, Women's History, Modern History, a very graphic freshman year health class, and Human Anatomy and Physiology. Each class has helped me in forming my passion of helping people and the ability to empathize. Through my history classes, I have learned about the need to help others and through my science classes, I have come to the decision to become a nutritionist/ registered dietician. My goal as a nutritionist is to help people take better care of themselves and it will start by acknowledging them on what they put into their body's and the

Eating healthy is important for many reasons, it will promote intellectual development in children and adolescents prevent major health problems from developing and ensure a long and healthy life style. This research paper will introduce the importance of forming a healthy eating habit from a young age onto the senior years and will also point out some of the negative effects not eating healthy can cause such as diabetes, heart disease, stroke, high blood pressure, obesity, iron deficiency anemia, dental caries, under-nutrition, and eating disorders.

In comparison with my DRIs, my intake of kcalories from carbohydrates, protein, and fat are all within or below the recommended ranges. When I compared my Macronutrient Distribution to my DRI, I realized that I was very close to recommended amount of fat intake. One thing that I could improve on is my protein consumption. My carbohydrate intake is also something I can improve on being that it was below the daily-recommended intake. Looking at my Energy Balance report and comparing the calories that I consumed versus my energy expenditure I can interpret that I did not burn any of the calories that I consumed. Over the summer my goal was to do at least an hour of cardio daily. Since the semester has started I have fallen off. Therefore, I am creating a plan in which I will incorporate cardio into

Before FNU 206 Introduction to Nutrition and Dietetics, I only had an idea of what I wanted to do as a Registered Dietitian, but not exactly how to reach that goal. After taking this class, Dr. Adkins has given me direction as to how to find my first destination. The Registered Dietitian career is not like being a doctor; there is no specific practice to study in school and stay as that type of specially trained practice. There are certain practices and patients to attend to as a Registered Dietitian, however my first job can be in a clinical setting with cancer patients as supposed to a company focused on wellness of the body. The same situation applies before becoming certified when I must put those hours of experience in. This intrigued

1) The background information on a possible referral by a physician to a Registered Dietitian might give us an insight on the stage of behavioral modification stage of the patient. If the patient was referred to a Registered Dietitian (RD) by a physician, and did not seek the RD on their own free will, this might indicate that the patient was either given no choice to visit the RD or is willing to follow the physician's recommendations. A study conducted on clinician referrals services shows that the referral services had a modest impact on the progress of the patient.1,2

Part 1 The way people perceive taste is impacted by a number of factors. These include, but are not limited to, age, weight, hormones, sickness and disease, smoking, and diet. Diet is the factor that this paper focuses on. Diet is impacted by the way people taste in that people are used to eating a certain amount of additives and preservatives. Some eat a very low amount, while for others, everything they eat contains additives and preservatives. There is a large range, but this paper will be focusing on two sides: people who eat a moderate to high amount of additives and preservatives in their daily life —this group will be referred to as Group 1—and people who eat very little to none—this group will be referred to as Group 2.

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.

I queried her about hydrogenation, pasteurization, and food poisoning. She let me cook and write recipes. I did research, read books about fad diets, and asked her about their pros and cons. However, I never imagined nutrition being anything besides a stepping-stone on my path towards becoming a Physician’s Assistant, which had become my primary goal.

Advocacy plays a major role for the advancement within the dietetics profession. At every level, federal, state, and local, the continuation of work within the government to uphold the standards previously made and to build or change for further improvement is an important part within the field. Health care and health insurance is a major issue that not only affects the dietetics field, but also any other medical profession. The cost for insurance, the constant changes in plans and knowing what is covered or not covered is a constant battle that affects how patients or clients can utilize the dietetic professionals for their health. The ever changing health insurance also makes it difficult for professionals within the field to stay on top

When I started my college journey I wasn’t sure how, but I knew I wanted to help people. After completing a nutrition course and I was amazed by the impact that nutrition has on the human body. It was then when I decided to pursue a career in Dietetics, I wanted mycareer to be applicable to my personal life. because I wanted to study something that would be applicable to my daily life. My family has struggled with Hypertension and Diabetes for a number of years, which also motivates me to learn about disease prevention through nutrition. I am passionate about nutrition and helping others achieve a healthy lifestyle and wellbeing through a healthy well balanced diet. I enjoy being exposed to new things that can expand my knowledge (move to a

The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition is an appropriate journal for the study to have been published in as the study is centered around nutritional measures to reduce ovarian cancer. The Journal of Nutrition would have been another suitable journal in which the study could have been published. However, as the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition is focused on a clinical population, this was the most appropriate journal for the study to be published.

In the past few weeks, I have attempted to exercise at least 5 times a week, challenge myself by eating more fruits and veggies, drinking more water, eating more superfoods, and getting at least 8 hours of sleep at night. I also worked on overall improving my own wellness with more meditation, winding down at night before sleeping, and dumping the processed, unhealthy foods. At the beginning, I thought this would be simple, but as days passed, I soon realized how unhealthy my usual lifestyle is and how much better I was feeling focusing more on my health. From running a mile around the neighborhood to sleeping more at night, I saw an improvement physically and mentally.

I’m interested in this field because I can relate to this stuff and dieting because I’ve basically almost have done this for most of my life. Nobody inspired me to be a dietitian. It’s just something I was interested in, but my mom really wants me to do it because she thinks it will help me manage my diabetes and celiac. I wanted to research a dietitian for this research paper because it’s something I want to be when i grow up. A definition for a dietitian is “An expert on editing and nutrition.”

I am interested in being a dietitian because it seems like an interesting job. I love working with people and teaching them or showing them what to do. I also am an organised person, I like everything to be very orderly or else I can’t function. In North American, the obesity is growing and I think that it is important that everyone tries or at least know what to do to help them get out of or avoid that. I love food and I love giving people advice. How the body works is fascinating and I would love to learn
