The current recommended guidelines for eating healthy for a nineteen-year-old female with moderate activity levels are to consume between 1900 and 2100 calories every day. It is also better to minimize fried and sugary foods, just like for any other age group. This can help avoid health problems. According to the MyFitnessPal app for someone of my same age, condition, and gender, it is recommended that a person consumes around one-hundred grams of protein, two hundred and fifty grams of carbohydrates, twenty-five grams of fiber, seventy-five grams of sugar or less, sixty-five grams of fat or less, three hundred milligrams of cholesterol or less, 2300 milligrams of sodium or less, and various amounts of different vitamins and minerals. During the time that I recorded my diet in the MyFitnessPal app, I only went over on calories one day. On the day that I went over on calories, I could have easily avoided going over if I wouldn’t have ate the Muddy Buddies, or even if I ate it in a much smaller portion. On the days that I consumed lower amounts of calories I ate much less calories for snacks. I also tend to eat a large amount of sodium. For me this is not all bad, I naturally high slightly low blood pressure, and excess amounts of sodium can cause high blood pressure. I also do not typically get the proper amounts of proteins, vitamins, and minerals. Clearly, there are both good and bad things about my current diet. One thing that I need to change is my activity
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
For this three day diet analysis project I wanted to eat as I normally would and be honest about all that I ate, to analyze not only what and how much I was eating, but also to see how healthy my diet really is. By doing so I can see if any of my diet choices are putting me at risk for certain health diseases, and what changes can be made to make my diet healthier. After analyzing my diet, I would say I am fairly healthy, though I am out of the target range in a few areas. My profile calculated from my weight and height indicates that I have a BMI of 20.5. This is considered to be healthy; the healthy range is anywhere between 18.5-25. This was reassuring to hear because I am happy at my current weight, and
For my analysis, I choose to track april seventh through april ninth. There was no particular reason why I picked these days over others, and on a whole they were relatively normal. However, it was at almost the end of spring break, and as I spent it with friends I found myself eating slightly unhealthier than usual. Using SuperTracker.gov, I set my calorie limit as a flexible 1,600 calorie intake that is recommended for a seventeen year old standing at five feet three inches, and weighing around a hundred and twenty pounds. My activity levels vary with my schedule, but on the whole I try to keep a steady exercise routine every few days. Counting calories is new for me, and as I tracked my calorie intake throughout those three days, I

My Fitness Pal is a very reliable tool that has helped me track my macro nutrients onto my phone and has helped me lose weight.The app has many features that helped me balance my diet, like the nutrition tab. The nutrition tab shows your calories, nutrients and macros. This is very helpful because it helps me see what i’m eating and allows me to replace things that may not be good for my health. For example, if i’m eating an unhealthy amount of macaroni and cheese it tells me that this food is high in saturated and carbs, it’ll then give me a recommended replacement food that is much healthier, such as a Tomato Soup or a Rice Bowl.
A large number of articles nowadays consistently debates about the way crime is shown throughout the media is in fact incredibly different from what official research and other records tell us, this is showing how the media misrepresents the nature of crime. Below will provide an overview of how the media misrepresent evidence for real-life crime and how they do this. It is seen that the media is the public’s primary source about crime and this has helped to the exploitation of the inaccuracy with presenting the nature of crime.
While reviewing this diet I came across a lot of bad factors. First off the calorie restriction is under the recommend
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.
The Masque of the Red Death by Edgar Allan Poe inspired my creative project because I am a visual learner and I found quite a bit of interest in this specific writing. The way this story caught my attention was the dark the dark tone that Poe had used, which is different than the other works that I have read thus far. In the short story there is a plague and kills many in this kingdom and because of this Prince Prospero had locked him and a couple of others in his kingdom to hide from the Red Death. He then throws a party since they “safe” from the plague and that is when the Red Death appears at his party. He felt threaten by this and tried to kill the red figure, but his reaction was caused him the ultimate price, “There was a sharp cry—and the dagger dropped

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
My total calorie intake was under the recommended ranges for all three days. I believe I am fair on the balance of calorie consumption to each macronutrient. My diet is not perfect, but this project has helped me critique it to my advantage. On September 1st, I only got 39% of my calories from carbohydrates when I should get a minimum of 45%. Since I was under, my body was not getting enough nutrients to support the brain and nervous system. This means that my brain was not functioning to its full potential that day. Carbohydrates are necessary for energy, and without enough carbs, your body will have to feed off of protein - protein sparing action. The range for protein is 10-35% of your daily caloric intake and since I am active, 20-25% is ideal for my body to function off of. For all three days I hit the target ranges. Protein helps my body repair itself after a tough workout, and without adequate amounts of protein, my body won’t have necessary building blocks for enzyme and hormonal production. Out of all three days, my fat intake was higher than it should have been. All the extra fat I ate, turned into
Housing approximately 700 students, Hilltop School is a new K-12 facility located in West Unity, Ohio. This rural farm/industrial community has been hit hard recently by the country’s struggling economy. In fact, our county has repeatedly possessed one of the highest unemployment rates in the state. Our district, like many others in Ohio, will face a significant deficit next year due to continued reductions in state and federal funding.
In January, my diet proved to be moderately unhealthy. On several counts, I missed the target levels for a person of my gender and age. I took in slightly more calories than the target 1724 per day versus a target of 1600. I also ate more protein (55g versus 46g) and far more carbohydrates (256g versus 130g). My fiber intake was low (10g versus 25g). My saturated fat was 10% of total calories, whereas the target should be lower than 10%. My cholesterol was within the target range, so was one of the few things that I really did not need to change.
