Reflection Of A Daily Diet

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.

According to my three day diet analysis it seems like my eating habits are poor. Not necessarily that I am consuming too many bad foods but I am not getting the all around nutrients that I need on a daily basis. Sometimes not eating enough. Or ot finding time to eat at all is a big issue in this. Due to my job and the lack of time I have at home it is hard for me to get the nutrients I need on a daily basis. With the target that is shown of six oz. of grains two and a half cups of vegetables, two cups of fruits, two cups of dairy and five and a half oz. of protein foods I fell short in most of the areas that were targeted for me. My biggest two areas of consumption was refined grains and protein.

If a person constantly eats too little proteins they can become susceptible to disease, it can cause a person to develop anemia, dry skin can develop and in women their bones can become brittle. If a person does not have enough carbohydrates in their diet they can develop malnutrition which is also called lack of calories. If a person does not have enough lipids in their diet it can also cause serious health risks. Fat provides nutrients for the body and supports the body’s basic function. Lack of this macronutrient can cause problems with a person’s immune system, skin and vision.

This means it can be more complicated to get all the essential nutrients and a balanced diet, especially when you have to avoid certain foods.

Over the course of three days, the intake of daily foods was documented in the iProfile food journal tracking system. The iProfile provides information on a nutritional analysis report that examines the macronutrients of carbohydrates, proteins, and fats when measured to the Recommended Dietary Intake (RDI) for overall health. The results will provide data to determine if the individual is consuming the recommended nutrients for strength, their metabolism, and to ensure that other body components are functioning.

Change is good, this is something that has often been said throughout history, the mind is an open book ready to consume additional information. During the last eight weeks of class there has been many things that Foundation of Nutrition, SPHE 395, has highlighted for the students, in order to assist them in fine tuning their craft in the sports and health industry. There where numerous area that where focused on over the last eight weeks. During part two of this final assignment there we were asked to state five things that we learned during the eight weeks of learning. One of things that I must say is the fact that I know little or nothing about Nutrion before this class, but during the course there were several that would help me during my career. The five area that where important to my learning where the highlighting of carbohydrates, proteins, lipids, maternal nutrition for infants, and the benefits of alcohol. After the review of this information there will be detailed concluding thoughts what I think of the class after the concluding week.

The purpose of this paper is to analyze my personal dietary intake as a way of better understanding the ways in which the foods I consumer are helping or hurting my overall nutrition and health. This project is about understanding how consuming too much or too little of particular nutrients can be unhealthy and do harm to one 's body over time. Even more, this project is about dispelling some of the myths that are present about nutrient consumption in order to have a more scientific understanding of what is considered healthy in food and nutrient consumption.

People with under nutrition means they have an imbalanced consumption of nutrients, when there is a lack of nutrients going into the body problems will start to arise, the body will star to use its glycogen/sugar reserves, stored water and body protein. Then the body will start to use fatty acids and lean muscle which will then have a dramatic effect on your weight loss.

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.

Chapter five “Choosing a Nutritious Diet” After choosing one; the trick is sticking to it. In this chapter I learned about the importance of reading labels, the dangers of food additives and fast food. “The seven components of a healthy diet include carbohydrates, proteins, fats, vitamins, minerals, fiber and water” (Ajmera, 2015). These seven components are important in maintaining a healthy nutritional

As I analyze and compare my consumption to those recommended, my diet is not as healthy as it could be. I enjoy to snack, unhealthily, and eat foods that are convenient for my lifestyle rather than my health.

Selenium, sodium, vitamin B12, thiamin, riboflavin, and niacin, I consumed sufficient amounts or more than what I needed.
