I Used Three Days Continues To Recall And Complete The

Week one was designed to perform a preliminary observation about my daily water consumption. This step gave me the baseline data I needed for comparison on how much progress I made at the end of the three-week project. During the final two weeks of the project, I actively tried to increase my water consumption and tracked my progress each day. Therefore, I was also able to make observations about the experiences I encountered. In the paragraphs that follow, I will describe my own personal experiences during the weeks that I actively tried to change my behavior. This description will also include, my initial plan, the strategies I implemented during the project, the factors that played a role in my success or defeat, what the data I collected reveals about my overall change, and the experiences that surprised me while trying to change my daily water

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.

My data could be more accurate if I had used only one source for food data, and find the exact measurements for what I ate. Also, my record of fruits and vegetables may not have been accurate because I do not usually eat them alone, so they may have been in my food and I did not take account of them. On the third day, I ate Jack in the Box the whole day, which is a rare event to occur in my diet. On the weekends I am less active, but

My actual intake is not what I expected it to be, I never thought I would be eating some of the foods that I am now eating because of this project. This project made me realize how poor my intake was from the first essay. I use to intake some of the unhealthiest food ever, I never realized how much harm I was doing to my body. Now, my intake is fair, I think I’m very much satisfied with the progress and changes I have made in my eating habits. Eating healthy is truly not that bad at all. I had to motivate myself to change my intake tremendously.

When I first heard that this assignment would require for is to log the meals that you consumed during a two day period I thought that may I should push it to two weeks. The reasons why I choose two weeks is because it would force me to become more dedicated to the task at hand forcing me to track a week's worth of meals. I would then during the second week force myself to eat from all of the required food groups/ eat the recommend intake and keep track of the proper of all of for a week.

I realized that my food consumption needs to improve, I did not realize I was that bad on my eating schedule but this assignment made me realize just how bad I take care of my health. I need to get better at feeding myself and making time for myself to get a bite to eat in the mornings. There are a lot of days I noticed in my journal that shows I only ate once so that was honestly surprising for

The overall quality of my diet was extremely poor. Although I was able to stay below my recommended 2200 Calorie consumption both days; the amount of fat, saturated fat, protein, carbohydrates, cholesterol, and sodium exceeded my desired range. I have never taken the amount of cholesterol I ingest into thought because I considered cholesterol an elderly problem. The act of recording all I consumed in a single day informed me of eating problems I have and was formerly unaware of. Another piece of information my food log revealed was, the quality of food I chose when

List nutritional or dietary changes that you were able to implement this semester and the effects of these changes on your body composition and personal wellness.

Use the following sections of your 3 Day Average Report to answer the following questions:

According to the “Food Groups and Calories” report, I was exactly on my 1.5-cup recommendation for fruits (OK), 1.5 cups under on my vegetable intake, 1.5 ounces under my grains intake, 1 ounce over on my protein intake, and 2 cups under on my dairy intake. Based on my average eaten food groups, compared to my target, I think the MyPlate recommendations are accurate for me, but appear hard to grasp. When looking at the target intakes of the food groups, it appears that I would need to greatly increase my consumption of food, as I only met the requirements of two of the five food groups. The reason that I believe that the MyPlate recommendations are accurate for me is because these recommendations reflect my age, gender, and activity level. With these three considerations, exact serving sizes were created to meet the recommended requirements, to prevent disease and promote health. The recommended serving sizes would accurately provide the necessary vitamins and minerals for my health.

These 2 days are representative of my usual dietary patterns because I tend to consume the same things everyday. This is mostly because I eat at the dining halls, which usually serves the same foods like hamburgers and pizza. Furthermore, I always consume rice because it has been the main staple in my meals ever since I was a child. I also purchase an afternoon snack everyday from the campus eatery, which usually consists of yogurt, a fruit, or some form of crackers and chips.

The second analysis of my diet has allowed me to observe aspects of my diet that can be improved in order to sustain lifelong benefits and meet dietary recommendations. For carbohydrates, it is suggested that I consume approximently 130 grams of carbohydrates a day, however, I averaged approximently 250 grams a day. While I averaged 56% of my calories from carbohydrates, which is within the acceptable range of 45-65%, the amount I consumed was on the higher end of the accepted values. Also, it is suggested that Americans consume less than 10% of their calories from added sugars each day. In a 2400 calorie diet, this means less than 240 calories are derived from added sugars. According to my food details report, I consumed less than 240 calories

     Since we have been learning about nutrition in class, our task was to record a food log. Nutrition requires a well-balanced diet containing nutrient and vitamins like amino acids and fatty acids. Over the past seven days I have been recording and have been looking very carefully at my intake of nutrients, minerals, vitamins, and fats. In our task, the objective was to record the basic foods we ate during the period of seven, but it did not require recording every single detail or our intake of food. Doing this food log was a pain and it was disturbing because I never wrote about what I ate like breakfast, lunch, dinner, or additional meals. I found this food log useful because it helped me learn what I

My average daily in not similar at all to my recommendations. The only one that is in my recommended daily range is my dairy calorie level. For my fruits I ate 2 cups less for my daily intake. For my vegetables I ate a cup and a half less then I supposed too. For my daily dark- green vegetables I ate a cup and a half less than my recommended intake. In my red and orange vegetables I ate 4 and half cups less than my recommended value. For my beans and peas I ate a cup and a half less than my recommended value. For starchy vegetables I am 4 cups lower then my recommended intake. For grains I’m on the low side. For protein foods I don’t eat any seafood and I’m in recommended range for meats and poultry. And I am also in range for nuts, seeds and soy products. For oils I am low and also for sofas I am in recommended range.

Starting my weight gaining goal for these four week project helped me get back into the rhythm I had once lost. The first week was the hardest, I had to go back and reorganize how I lived my day to day life. First I had to relearn all about nutrition and what foods would help me achieve my ten pound goal by the end of the four weeks. I had to make sure I ate enough calories throughout the day and compensate the calories that I would burn with and without working out, so I started my plan off with about MMM calories a day to see
