Nutrition Log

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.

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.

Its a combo of a few things for me. First I started by downloading the app "Myfitness Pal" by underarmer (the free one of corse). There you plug in your current weight and then your goal weight, and it give you a "calorie limit" to kind of start off with. Then I did some research on healthier breakfast and lunch choices (leaving dinner to eat shit food lol but within the calorie limit). So for example I would eat oat meal for breakfast with almond milk instead of regular milk, or toast with avocado instead of a bagel with butter. I also carried that into my lunchs at work (let alone I started packing them, so that really helped). But for the first moth or so I wouldn't change my dinners, on the amount, to stay within the calorie limit, this way I could still enjoy food I wasn't willing to give up.

Tools for diet planning can be found free of cost publicly online, and at the library. Key messages from the Dietary Guidelines to help consumers balance calories and increase the nutrient density of

The goal I chose is to live a healthy lifestyle which in terms will add years to my life. In this transformation I chose to eat healthier, exercise, drink plenty water and add supplements to my personal wellness plan. I will devote a significant amount of time to each area of this wellness plan over the next eight weeks get the ultimate results. Below are specific goals and a plan of action that I will be doing over the course of eight weeks in an effort to make these lifestyle changes. I will be reviewing the various area of my health deciding which areas you I would like to make improvements. My present situation is that I have gained a significant amount of weight that has made my life a little uncomfortable. List your present situation and specify your goals (what you want to accomplish) in measurable terms. Keep track of your progress. Review your goals regularly. Get help from others as needed.

Most of the time I am out of control on my eating. I eat the food that I think is more benefit to me, but really it is not. Since I can journal analysis as a guideline of helping me which kind of food I can eat, I will use it to keep on tract what, why, when I can eat. I will keep on continue to go to the gym daily.

The dietary intake is a representative of my food pattern in that it is balanced diet, which it has careful consideration on the foods eaten. It has adequate carbohydrates, proteins and fruit. The amount of fluids consumed is adequate in that recommendation is that a fluid intake should be an average of 8 glasses per day, but with this it has intake of 1.5 litres .

The three-day food log made for the given athlete was based off of his profile, needs, likes, amount of training, and whether he had time to cook or not. The twenty-two-year-old professional football player is six feet four inches, weighs 210 pounds, and has a body fat percentage of 7%. His main goals are to maintain his body weight, and maintain his body fat. This means that he should focus on consuming the amount of protein at the upper end of the recommended scale since protein is known to help maintain weight. He also should focus on staying at the bottom range of the recommended fat intake to be sure not to gain more body fat. The player is currently in football season having five practices a week that last about three hours each. He only

Eating healthy is not difficult just eat right like how we should. Buying fruits and vegetables from a local market is just one way to making things better. The most we can do to have a healthy life is to look into how we can make our food we are eating. Look at our agriculture to be aware of what we eat and how it's grown and raised. Agriculture is what helps our economy grow because people know what they

My strengths in my One-Day Nutrition, is that I ate a healthy breakfast as I ate two scrambled eggs, hot black coffee, and a toast without toppings. I also measured the calorie intakes for my breakfast and lunch. This helped me make a better choice in choosing healthier foods to eat. Besides making a better choice it also helped me eat in smaller portions. I have a strong will in the day, in saying “no” to unhealthy foods, but unfortunately I do not in the evening.

Great post. I agree with the findings of your assessment. Nutritional status is the balance between a patient’s current nutritional supply and demand. I would like to include some nutritional assessments for the two patients for this discussion. Mr. H has not eaten significant calories since the operation (4 days), has trouble chewing due to poor dentition, appears depressed, has lost 8 pounds since admission, history of a 10 pound weight loss in the last month. Laboratory data include prealbumin level of 10.4g/d l( normal is 16.4-38g/dl), an albumin level of 2.9g/dl( normal is 3.5-5g/dl), and hypoactive bowel sounds, which signifies that intestinal activity has slowed down. In the critical care area, patients have special nutritional needs because the stress of their complex illness increases their metabolic rate and nutritional needs, and decrease mobilization which results in muscle atrophy. In addition, Mr. J is an elderly patient. He is at higher risk for altered nutrition due to his history of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease which affects his appetite & also his admitting diagnosis;

When you plan to start a new diet, make certain that you are sure this is something that you want to do. You need motivation and determination to stay with your diet as well as to have an exercise plan in place.

To be completely honest, I had a hard time remembering and keeping a diary of every little thing I do. I am a very busy person, considering I have a full time job, 2 part time jobs, and a full time college student. I did make my best attempt at trying to see what all I ate and for physical activity and my results are interesting.

My usual food intake is very random and sporadic. I have a very busy lifestyle and I often forget to eat so when I do get hungry I usually grab the first thing that is around. These things tend to be snack foods like granola bars or gold fish. If we have it I try to grab things that are a little healthier such as cheese, fruit, or vegtables. The problem with this is that the healthier choices are more expensive and don’t stay fresh as long so it is hard to buy in bulk. I have two children so I almost always have one good meal a day because I know it is important for them to have all the nutrients that they need. I am very careful about portion sizes and making sure there are fruits and vegetables especially unforunatly the fruits and vegtables are often fresh, but instead frozen or canned. Also, I make sure to add grains, protein, and dairy into their diets. One of my families favorite foods are cheesy mashed potatoes. However, we do not have this often because often we are already have starches in pastas that we are haning, However, it is a nice treat once in awhile. The three dietary guidelines that are emphasized by the Dietary Guidelines for Americans are to balance calories with physical activity to manage weight, consume more of certain foods and nutrients such as fruits, vegetables, whole grains, fat-free and low-fat dairy products, and seafood, and to consume fewer foods with sodium (salt), saturated fats, trans fats, cholesterol, added sugars, and refined grains.

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.
