Is Supertracker A Healthy And Balanced Diet?

When I first saw that we were going to have a food tracking assignment I thought, “oh yay, now I have to write down everything that I shove in my mouth.” I was honestly dreading this assignment because I didn’t want to admit to myself and others how bad I eat. Since starting this class I have became more and more interested in nutrition, and what I am putting into my body. After I wrote down all of the food that I ate in the two day period, and logged it into the food tracker I was pretty surprised.

The purpose of this assignment is to increase self-awareness of the student by analyzing personal nutritional intake and activity routine throughout the course. In turn, the student will be able to help others modify their diet and activity, and improve overall wellness. An examination of a personal food and activity assessment will provide the student with essential data from which to change their health and wellness behaviors.

As I began this project I saw no purpose of keeping track of all these different things. I proceeded through the project and started to keep track of my intake, macronutrient range, fat breakdown and stage of change reports and I found it quite helpful to keep track of all those things. This project made me ensure that I was on the right path to becoming a healthy human being. I did not realize how unhealthy my eating habits were until this project made me examine that, which was a good thing. I still find it hard to maintain a strict healthy diet while being at college. Sometimes I am forced to deviate from my healthy diet, but this project helps me get back on track.

    I kept a record of my dietary intake for three days using the WileyPLUS iProfile food intake journal. I definitely feel that the journal is a great tool since it breaks down the ingredients of my diet and shows me exactly what it is that I am putting into my body on any given day. In addition, since starting this journal I feel that it is important to be aware of what I am eating and I plan to continue to use this journal in the future. Not only does the journal allow me to record my daily diet but it also shows me the recommended daily values for each of the food groups, minerals, and vitamins based on my age, height, and body weight. Understanding what is being put into my body

Writing down what you eat for three days shows you more about your diet then most would think. The paper, and 3 day diet diary we did was to help show us what we need to consume more of, less of, what we need to cut out of are diet, and lastly what we need to add to be a healthy individual. Wiley Plus was used to really show the breakdown of what we eat. I simply put what I wrote on paper into the Wiley food journal, wich furthermore puts everything into the catagories, and sections for you, wich was very helpful. I overall hoped my results would be decent, or average. The results I recieved were simply what I expected.

I was able to download the PDF of the 2010 dietary guidelines and my diet is way off. First of all I do not watch what I eat. I just know that when I am hungry that I eat. And 95% of the time it eat something specific to what I have a taste for. Then I eat alot of it because its so good. But then I wont eat another meal again till the next day. I will a few snacks here and there if I feel hungry through out the rest of the day. I would have to say yes and no to benefiting from tools designed to evaluate and track the quality of your diet over time. I say yes because I need a plan. I need something that would guide me on calorie counting, when to eat, what to eat, how much is too much and how much is enough. I was thinking about getting

With concerns of our day to day living we do not have enough time and budget to be choosy of the type of food or the nutritional value of it, what we think of nowadays is just to have something to satisfy our hunger without considering the nutrients that our body needs each day. When we hear diet nowadays often we see it as losing weight by means of controlling food intake, but the truth is diet could also mean eating nutritious foods to supplement our body’s needs of nutrients and the type of foods that we are going to consume.

Hey friends! Anyone interested in getting their diet on track? Are you stuck in a slump or need a kick in the but to eat healthy? Or just unsure if you are meeting all of your nutritional needs? I am here to help, I was assigned a school project and decided to have a little bit of fun with it :D! I am looking for someone who would like to participate in a nutritional project where I will be conducting a nutritional analysis on your diet for just 3 days. I will be providing a lesson to whoever reaches out on tips and tricks for food logging as well as my personal insight to mindful eating. This will take some time and I will need a pretty detailed food log. I will provide you with a detailed dietary analysis of your 3 day diet which will include

My food habits vary, some days I eat a lot of food and other days I don’t eat very much. My favorite food to eat is frozen yogurt/ice cream. Some foods I dislike are tomatoes and zucchinis. My parents often encourage me to eat vegetables. I sometimes listen depending on what vegetables are available. I normally eat healthier foods around dinner time. I eat breakfast, lunch, dinner, and one or two snacks in between. One school days I don’t eat a very large breakfast due to limited time, but on the weekends I have time to make a larger breakfast, such as waffles. On the weekend I tend to eat out at restaurants and on week days we usually make dinner at home.

I used Supertracker, which is a diet analysis software, in which I used to help determine modifications in his diet prescription. As for nutrients, Justin needed to add more nutrients to his diet because of his poor eating habits. The foods that we decided to eliminate were soda's since he has about one to two protein shakes a day. The foods that we decided to include were all areas of the food pyramid because he is lacking in most areas. I suggested that he try's to eat about 6 ounces of grains a day, 2 ½ cups of vegetables a day, 2 cups of fruits a day, about 2 ½ to 3 cups of milk/dairy products a day, and about 5 ½ to 6 ounces of meat and/or beans a day. I told him that he doesn't have to make this change overnight but it is he gradually

This activity was to record a detail food log, personal caloric needs and intake and comparing to a standard distribution. The standard distribution percentage given for this activity was 40% carbs, 30% proteins and 30%fats. In this analysis I will compare my personal results of caloric intake and estimate my BMR, TMR and how this impacts my weight management goals.

Chapter 6 discusses about the strategies to promote behavior changes. From the food management tools, behavior change strategies, and re-constructing cognitive thinking. One of the strategies in making dietary change is to keep a journal. Having a journal would teach a client to record their food and activity, so it would be easy to measure and monitor their progress. However, keeping a journal also not easy to follow and the tracking usually declines after few weeks (144). Personally, I found that keeping a food journal is really hard to follow through. I got really motivated for the first two weeks and feel off the wagon really soon. One of the factor which cause my lack of motivation in tracking of my food is being forgetful. And at the

The purpose of this paper is to provide information about nutrition and exercise in respect to the effects these two issues have on the maintenance of homeostasis of the body. For example, this student participated in a three week exercise, in which she set nutrition and exercise goals to restore and improve her overall health and homeostasis. Her goals included a dietary goal of eating three healthy meals a day rather than one meal and snacking on junk foods the rest of the time. In addition, set an exercise goal of walking around her neighborhood two to three times a week to restore, improve, and maintain her muscle tone and function ability due to sedentary levels of activity. While she has been consistent with achieving her dietary

Overall, from doing this project I found that I consume way too much sodium (181% of my daily recommendation) and way too much sugar (328.7% of my daily recommendation). Also I have realized how much I eat out each week, which isn’t the best for my overall health. Eating out multiple times a week greatly affects my sugar and sodium intake because typically fast food or restaurant food contains more salt, sugar, and fat compared to if someone were to cook at home. I have also found that I eat a lot of protein for my body weight, which I was not aware of (278.3% of my daily recommended intake based on my body weight).

The subject was a 20 year-old female whose height was approximately 5’6” and weight was approximately 160 pounds. The BMI of the subject was 26 and the subject was neither a smoker nor a vegetarian. This allows the software to accurately assess nutrition variables by factoring in the subject’s basic metabolic rate. Next, the food consumed over the three-day time frame was submitted into the software in chronological order and was categorized into (I) breakfast, (II) lunch, (III) dinner and (IV) snacks. Once all three days were submitted into the program, a series of reports were computed. These reports were energy balance, my pyramid analysis and profile DRI goals with a significant importance placed on (i) energy, (ii) fats, (iii) essential fatty acids and (iv) carbohydrates. The reports will be discussed in detail in the Results section of this report.
