During the 3 days food intake, I ate chicken, steak, beans, eggs and turkey which provided proteins. For carbohydrates I had:

Which foods in your recorded daily intake provide protein? Which provide carbohydrate? Which provide lipids?

One question which has puzzled individuals for decades is. “how much water should I drink every day?” The Institute of Medicine, suggests adult men consume approximately 3.0 litres of water. They suggest adult women drink approximately 2.2 litres of water daily. These figures coincide with the popular myth that individuals consume eight glass of water, per day. This translates to 1.9 litres of water.

On average, a sedentary adult needs to drink eight, 8 ounce glasses of water a day. When active or outdoors, this amount should increase. When sweating in the heat, you should aim to double your water intake. When there is extreme sweating, a sports drink can be alternated with the water.

The main reasons are to avoid dehydration, support kidney function, to produce urine and flush out toxins from the body and to strengthen the immune system. This is why populations without a freshwater supply are more prone to contracting diseases. On average, a person should drink between 1 to 2 cups of water a day. For me personally, from drinking bottled water, it’s usually more than that.

For my dietary analysis I choose to document two days early on in the semester as it was a time that I was in the process of trying to gain weight, so I though it would be interesting to see exactly what I was consuming.

One human should consume 165 kilograms of vegetables per year that is about 4 cups per day. That means for one humans’ fruits, vegetables, and starches it would take 371,250 liters of water. That is 37,125,000 liters for our colony of one hundred, for one year.

The first misconception is that we should drink eight glasses of water per day. This misconception is not actually based on any scientific data. It is almost considered fact because doctors also recommend this to patients. It is rumored that the source of this belief came in 1945 from the US National Research Council (NCR), who recommended that adults should drink 1 milliliter for each calorie of food we intake, coming out to about 2.5 liters for men and 2 liters for women. This was supported by Barbara Rolls, author of the book Thirst and nutrition researcher at Penn State, who claimed that the 8-a-day rule results in 1.9 liters a day. What is factual, however, is that we already get plenty of water from the food we consume each day; that

We humans survive on water due to having 65% of our body weight being water. An average human drinks around 87600 litres in their lifetime which accumulates to around 175000 water bottles drank in a lifetime. You might think we have all the water we need due to 71% of the earth’s surface is water but you’re wrong because only 3% of all the water in Earth is freshwater and 2.7% of it is frozen in icebergs which means we only 0.3% of fresh water in the surface of Earth.

By now, I 'm sure you know that drinking ten 8-ounce glasses of water a day is good for your health, and drinking less can cause dehydration and lead to common ailments such as:

Water is the most essential nutrient that our body needs do to its critical functions in transporting things through our bodies, chemical reactions that occur, our body temperature, and lubrication in our joints. A person needs to drink about sixty-four ounces of water a day to stay properly hydrated. Without a sufficient amount of water we put ourselves

The next part of this project is for you to select foods that you like and are normally part of your diet to meet the nutrient's RDA or AI levels.
