Gluten Free Diet

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

Athletes often overlook the energy demands of daily training sessions. Total calories required are considerably increased for the training and competing athlete versus the average person, but it should be done in the proper % to total daily intake. If sufficient calories are not included in the diet, an athlete will lose to much weight, become fatigued more quickly and performance will

The athlete I have chosen is a 22 year old city soccer player named Erika Ibarra. It is important for Erika to have a nutrition that supports her power and endurance training for soccer. It is important for her to have a well balanced source of nutrients. She needs a goof source of carbohydrates and fats to help give her the energy she needs to support her endurance work outs. She also should have a good amount of protein to repair muscles before and after her workout. Her recommended daily calorie intake is 2000 calories according to the super tracker tool. I would also recommend her taking 1 serving size of multivitamins in the morning to insure that she is getting a good source of vitamins and minerals. Below is the 24 hour meal recall for

Based upon the 48-hour intake journal, patient eats between 1500 to 2000 calories a day.

As a celiacs daughter I quickly adapted the “gluten free” life style out of convenience for my mother. I would even find myself going to restaurants asking for the gluten free menu and strictly sticking to the diet in and out of my household. I was aware that I was lacking some nutrients by not eating gluten but to make up for it I took vitamin D pills and everyday women health vitamins but little did I know that was not enough to keep me healthy. I was not aware of the risks I was putting myself at by eliminating a whole category of food. I was lacking my body of calcium, fibre and iron as well as other nutrients.

Of the suggestions, an adoption of the gluten-free diet has made its way to the top of the list. The gluten-free diet has shown tremendous improvements in overall quality of life for people with fibromyalgia. Usually, the gluten free diet is suggested for people who have been diagnosed with Celiac Disease. What had been brought to light is that symptoms that typically spawn with Fibromyalgia also spawn with Celiac Disease. Thus, an idea was born to test the adoption of the gluten-free diet in those who have fibromyalgia. A study published in the journal of Rheumatology International discovered that a gluten-free diet produced drastic improvements in symptoms that occurred with Fibromyalgia. Patients reported that they were able to fully return back to normal activity and work. Other reported that they were able to completely stop taking their prescribed medication with no undue stress. Many explained that they went into total remission and had no symptoms return while adhering to the Gluten-free diet. Most of the subjects reported a combination of two or all three discoveries. A select few tried to ease gluten back into their regular meals. Instantly, symptoms returned and did not disappear until those individuals reincorporated the gluten-free diet into their lives once

A gluten-free diet consist of eating products that are free of gluten. Some of the ingredients to avoid eating are barley, bulgur, flavoring, rye and vegetable gum and you can add corn, quinoa, sago, soy flour and beans (3). The doctors recommend to follow a gluten-free diet if you are gluten sensitive or if you are diagnosed with Celiac disease. Celiac disease is an immune disorder that does not tolerate gluten. According to a special report done by Mayo Clinic it explains that Celiac disease is when the immune system responds to gluten like if it was a bacteria or something that does not belong in your stomach (1). Since your immune system begins to attacks your body trying to get rid of the gluten because it sees it as a little enemy it affects mainly the small intestine. Since there is a constant attack of the body every time you eat something containing gluten it causes your small intestine to become irritated, and it damages the little hairs called villi that are found inside the small intestine

The subject data displayed in table 1 shows the energy intake (EI) and Energy Expenditure (EE) over 2 consecutive weekdays. The mean EI for day 3285kJ/day : mean EE 4200 kj/day. As the mean increases the standard deviation decreases. Figure 1 the pie chart distributes the energy protein, fats and carbohydrates intake mean average over two days. The intake classifies healthy diet intake of macronutrients. This is concluded that the 16% protein, 56% of carbohydrates and 26% of fats.

A.Evaluate the total daily food intake. Have Joyce use a diary of calorie intake, patterns, and times eating.

Her grain intake is 58% of the recommendation according to MyPlate guidelines for her age, sex, height, weight, and activity level. She is consuming 3.5 oz equivalent opposed to the 6 oz equivalent recommendation. Complex Carbohydrates should serve as a main energy source in her diet (45-65% of the overall calories). Although her carbohydrate intake was adequate (210 grams in a 1700 calorie diet pattern, 49.5% of calories), she could still benefit from more whole grains in her

Thanks to her increase in activity she was now able to eat 2,600 calories a day and still see a weight loss of roughly one pound a week. If you change the multiple to 20 she can consume 160 x 20 which would be 3,200 calories. That calorie count would not allow her to lose weight but to remain steady at the 160 pounds. If instead she eats 2,600 calories and maintains her new more physical lifestyle she will lose that pound a week. Note, this is 1,000 more calories than her original intake AND she's seeing

Body weight should be monitored with a goal of stabilization;however, BN patients need a great deal of encouragement to followweight maintenance versus weight loss diets. They must bereminded that attempts to restrict caloric intake may only increasethe risk of binge eating.A balanced macronutrient intake is essential for the provisionof a regular meal pattern. This should include sufficientcarbohydrates to prevent craving and adequate protein and fatto promote satiety. In general, a balanced diet providing 50% to55% of the calories from carbohydrate, 15% to 20% from

Due to long working hours, sedentary activity levels, and other personal responsibilities the nurse may assess some community members display a nutrition imbalance related to excessive caloric intake in comparison to expenditure of calories, evidenced by, weight gain of more than 20% over ideal for height and frame. Interventions provided by the community nurse may include education of a balanced healthy dietary regimen that include foods frequently eaten but prepared with less fat and calories for the targeted population. The nurse will weigh each

Although the investigation was able to provide more knowledge and understanding regarding the relationships between energy, activity levels and carbohydrate intake in order to contribute towards a solution to the problem of obesity, there were many limitations to this experiment that needed to be considered. For the personal data, the dietary observations collected over the two experimental days were not substantial to represent their lifestyle as a whole. Studies led by Burke et al., (2001) demonstrated that individuals can make inaccurate reports in various ways such as altering their dietary intake during period of recording, omitting or underestimating their intake and quantification errors of their consumption. As the group data was a collation of individual’s two-day dietary records, variability and inaccuracy increased considering the wide range of influences each individual may have been subjected to. There were 359 females and 195 males involved in the
