Obesity And The Food Groups And Calorie Report

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

Over the weekend my intake of calories ranged between 1900-2500 which is above the recommended amount. Even with my activity level taken into account, this should have caused me to gain more weight than 10 pounds over a one year period. The time that my diet was recorded, I may have eaten more than I usually do. For day 1, I ate an more fat than recommended, which was not over by much because it was 15%. On the second day I ate 40% fat, which is over the 30% recommended. On the third day, my fat intake was 32%, which is once again, over the daily recommended. I have been eating in the range of the recommended proteins and carbohydrates on the other days. My water intake 7 cups a day on average, but I need to consume more fruits and vegetables.

Different factors are responsible for obesity in children and adolescents. The cause of obesity was widely agreed, that eating too much and exercising too little. Food is energy, unless you use that energy; however, it will be store as fat. Nevertheless, once someone becomes obese, it is often not as easy as simply eating less and moving more will resolve the situation. From genetic to behavioral, and environmental, the imbalance of calories intake, calories have been use for the purpose of growth, development, metabolism and physical actives. Children usually consume their calories by means of food or beverages. When those foods are not utilize, for energy activities, it leads to obesity. Obesity could be consider, has been

To sum things up I have added my weekly information as far as calorie percentage for eat meal of the day with breakfast 34% (526 Cal), lunch 34% (526 Cal), Dinner, 22% (341 Cal), Early Morning Snack 4% (62 Cal) and Mid-Day Snack 6% (93 Cal). Listed is the more detail list for week one, but on average I went over by 11% Carbohydrates, was under by 7% when it came to fat and under by 4% when it came to protein. When an assessment of my fitness and because I am in the Army I have to do fitness training at least 5 times per week. During our cardio days I would do thing like Sprints, Long distance running (three to four miles), elliptical, ruck march or the stationary bike. In return during strength days we would be things circuit

In this study, they investigated the social spread of obesity by performing a quantitative analysis on 12,067 people that were a part of the Framingham Heart Study. Longitudinal statistical models were used to assess the effect of another person’s weight gain on an individual. They found that a person was 57% more likely to gain weight if they had a friend who became obese, 40% more likely if their sibling became obese, and 37% more likely if their spouse became obese. Hence, obesity seems to be influenced by social factors. This study seems like a reliable source as it was published by the New England Journal of Medicine in 2007.

Being healthy consist of staying hydrated and eating healthy and my data shows I maybe ate too much fatty foods. Taking a look at my water consumed is not very good either. Humans are suppose to drink 64oz of water a day, and I didn’t get anywhere near that amount of water in fact i drank exactly half of what I am suppose to drink. My overall conclusion on Monday’s data is i definitely need to improve my diet. The second day wasn’t much better than it was on Monday. Consuming all my calories is a challenge for me because I admit I am a picky eater. Things I ate on Tuesday are substances like pizza, cheese stick, banana muffin, water and chicken enchiladas. As you can tell none of those are considered to be super healthy foods. School lunches don’t exactly consist of healthy foods, but less of unhealthy foods. As most people will say the school lunches are necessarily tasty meals. Tuesday I didn’t get enough calories again because at lunch I will only eat certain things, and those objects don’t contain very many calories. I think that is a huge reason as to why I get hundreds less then I should be getting. I went over on protein and carbohydrates consuming 23 more grams of protein and 12 grams of carbs. My grams of fat are more on Tuesday

Obesity is a very serious threat to the health of Americans and people all across the world. A plethora of studies have been done to confirm the adverse effects of obesity on an individual 's health. Obesity rates have been skyrocketing in the past 30 years. The year 2000 marked the first time in human history that the percentage of obesity in the human population rose over 50% (Obesity: A Cultural and Biocultural Perspective). Obesity, as well as childhood obesity, is more prevalent than ever. There has been little done by the American people and the U.S. government to reverse this trend. My research has shown that the problem of obesity is a much larger problem than most people believe it to be. Many Americans underestimate the

Obesity in America is a constant issue that seems to be on the rise and it is has been rising at an epidemic rate among the people of America. When you think of health you don’t necessarily thing of bellies and thighs rubbing together but why not? Is there a possibility of being a healthy and obese person? Who set the standard for what is too much and for what isn’t? And what makes this so wrong? I have done extensive amounts of research on the topic and I am here to question why should the size of a person be the reason we shake their head at them? And is there really a thing as being a HAPPILY OBESE individual in this world. Studies show so much on the topic and it is an extremely touchy topic. One wrong word is

Obesity has become a major problem in America, therefore causing major health issues that are associated with overweight. Problems with overweight sometimes began during adolescence, and increase with age. Obesity, and overweight can possibly cause emotional, and social stigmatization additional to depression in adolescence, and adults. Obesity, and overweight is a rapidly growing problem in today's society, especially since so many fast food places are beginning to rapidly increase in numbers across the world. Although some may not take overweight as a serious matter, it leads to obesity and major health problems that are closely linked to many heart diseases. Health problems associated with Overweight, and obesity has been a major issue

I attached a copy of my report because it is so interesting; I don’t believe that I ate abnormally for me. I was almost double on the calorie intake! My intake of fats and cholesterol were over the suggested intake. My sodium intake was twice the recommended amount, and I never added seasoning to my food. My fiber, potassium, iron, and magnesium were under required amounts. My intake of vitamin A, E, K, and folate were also under required amounts. I did have DHA and EPA because I had a salmon BLT for lunch, but I don’t incorporate fish into my diet but maybe once a week if that. I had no caffeine intake; I recently made diet changes for myself that removed diet soda from my daily intake. Prior to that I lived off diet soda! So I understand that change is difficult. Although now I occasionally

Nutrition and weight status is a vitally important issue as obesity is on the rise in the United States. One third of children in this country ages 2-19 are either overweight or obese and this potentially sets them up to develop diabetes and other comorbidities during their lifetime (U.S. Task Force, 2010). It is important to promote health by way of consumption of healthy foods, getting adequate exercise and maintaining a healthy body weight and body image. The Let’s Move initiative, founded by First Lady Michelle Obama, approaches the obesity epidemic at a grassroots level and encourages children to eat healthy, get active and take actions towards a healthy lifestyle ("Let’s Move," n.d.).

I have learned that it is important to research obesity because it addresses the different angles of health, the impact that obesity has on many cultures, how obesity has resulted in life threating disease and even death. In addition, from the research that I found on obesity, I found it to be not just a personal issue, rather it shines a light on the concept of the thin ideal, social perception and the influence on media reporting of obesity.

    Body image and obesity are always going to be hot-button issues as long as fast foods restaurants are still in business. Obesity is a disorder involving excessive body fat that increases the risk of health problems. In other words, obesity is a condition where a person has accumulated so much body fat that it might have a negative effect on their health. Proportions of food are different from decades ago compared to now. Movie popcorn serving size was five cups with calories of 270 back in the 1980’s, now movie theatres are serving big tubs with loads of butter with calories of 630. Today proportions of food have really expanded causing calorie consumption to go up. Our own selves should

Due to the American sedentary way of life it’s difficult to tangibly buy healthy foods and maintain a healthy lifestyle. During my week of documenting my food track I did not eat any significant amount of nutrients to actually stay fit. This is because I did not eat healthy most of the time. Like most teenagers I snacked on junk and never really ate a decent meal. If I had a slower metabolism I would most certainly be overweight.
