Reflection On Nutrition

Proper nutrition is important in maintaining a long and healthy life. Most Americans are rushed due to their busy work schedules, and do not take the time to plan their diets properly. Like me, most Americans are unaware of the importance of eating a healthy diet and consume too many foods without the proper nutrients. Throughout my life I have been fortunate. I have not had any major health problems, and have been able to consume most foods without having to worry about gaining weight. These last two years, however, I started to gain weight and have become concerned with my diet. Changing my poor eating habits has been difficult for me, however, having this assignment has taught me that it is not as difficult as I previously

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

During the first week I eat as would normal due week without trying to vary because taking this class has made me more aware. By taking this class has forced me to that a look at the overall health and focusing on food intake being a very big part of it. During this first week I ate foods likes, Applewood bacon & cheddar with two eggs from sandwiches for Einstein’s, smoothies,

During this week, I Edgar Burgos had to conduct a food intake for 3 consecutive days. This paper will describe my nutritional endeavor for the past three days. I will provide different aspects of my nutritional needs and an in depth analysis on how proteins fats carbohydrates and fiber take part in my everyday diet and what are these functions. This is intended to broaden my views of a healthy lifestyle, and how to achieve it through a variety of food groups.

Day 3 of recording my food intake that morning I went to Denny 's and had a steak omlette with hash browns and two chocolate chip pancakes and a water with extra lemons. For lunch, I had an avocado salad with a glass of sweet tea and a bottle of water. Dinner that night I had smother chicken queseo casserole, and peach cobbler with ginger ale.

Just in one day, both Maria and Matt consumed a lot of calories because they decided to eat out every meal. For breakfast they decided to go to IHOP. I looked at how many calories they consumed in that sitting and I got that Maria consumed 1,220 calories, and Matt consumed 1575 (IHOP). For lunch they stopped at

My recommended calorie intake was 2000 calories a day and my average calorie consumption was 1613 Calories. I feel that the calorie intake was ok but I will be making an effort to eat an extra snack like a piece

Regarding my breakfast and lunch items, look at how many calories and fats food contained. It decreases the amount of portion per food,

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

• Fill in the calories, carbohydrate, fat and its components (sat, poly, mono, trans), and fiber values for each food/beverage in the table found on the last page of this Discussion Set. Remember to look at the portion and adjust values if the portion in the table is different than that listed in Appendix H.

Jackie’s diet is pretty much the same so l picked the last day. On the first day, she consumed 1374 calories out of 1600 calories depending on her target weight. She did not meet the daily requirement for carbohydrates being the largest class of nutrients, including sugars, starch, and fibers, that function as the body’s primary source of energy. Jackie’s carbohydrate intake was 140.9 grams out of the 300 grams needed, which was 321.9 calories and 23.9 % calories came from carbohydrate. 46% of her diet was fat, 36% being saturated fat, 44% monounsaturated fat and 20% polyunsaturated fat.

Before beginning change, Russell spent a week noting down everything he ate. What he found was shocking - "I was consuming essentially all of my calories from sugar and fat. Even more disconcerting was the fact that more than half of those calories were coming from liquids."

    Normally, I watch and count my caloric intake after every meal. It helps me stay on track of my nutrition, and managing what and when you eat is very important for your health. I was very untroubled to have assigned this assignment, because I looked at this assignment as an important

Even before beginning this nutritional anthropology course, I have been interested in documenting my daily calorie intake so documenting my process was not out of the norm for me regarding this assignment. By doing this, I hope that by seeing that the nutritional balance of the food that I eat is not good for me, I will eventually switch to a healthier diet. Through this assignment, I will reflect on my consumption over a 3-day period, why I ate what I did and compare it to what we have learned throughout the duration of the course.
