Written Analysis and Discussion of BV's 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.

In comparison with my DRIs, my intake of kcalories from carbohydrates, protein, and fat are all within or below the recommended ranges. When I compared my Macronutrient Distribution to my DRI, I realized that I was very close to recommended amount of fat intake. One thing that I could improve on is my protein consumption. My carbohydrate intake is also something I can improve on being that it was below the daily-recommended intake. Looking at my Energy Balance report and comparing the calories that I consumed versus my energy expenditure I can interpret that I did not burn any of the calories that I consumed. Over the summer my goal was to do at least an hour of cardio daily. Since the semester has started I have fallen off. Therefore, I am creating a plan in which I will incorporate cardio into

However the individual hardly ever ate breakfast which isn’t good for her as she will feel tiered throughout the day. In order to avoid that I gave her a breakfast that are high in fiber along with foods that she likes. The tables are both shown below:

She recalled her 24 hours’ diet as, Bacon egg and cheese sandwich for breakfast, Salad for lunch and fried chicken with mash potatoes and mac and cheese for dinner. She is 119 pound and 5’5 tall. Her body mass index is 19.8 which is in the normal range and she considered as a woman with a healthy weight. She doesn’t exercise much because she can barely make time for it with everything she has to do but she tries to walk and do in home exercise with the little free time she gets.

Part 1 The way people perceive taste is impacted by a number of factors. These include, but are not limited to, age, weight, hormones, sickness and disease, smoking, and diet. Diet is the factor that this paper focuses on. Diet is impacted by the way people taste in that people are used to eating a certain amount of additives and preservatives. Some eat a very low amount, while for others, everything they eat contains additives and preservatives. There is a large range, but this paper will be focusing on two sides: people who eat a moderate to high amount of additives and preservatives in their daily life —this group will be referred to as Group 1—and people who eat very little to none—this group will be referred to as Group 2.

She may be consuming the wrong type of carbohydrates or she may even be consuming too little. Also her training may be an issue and she may be under the impression the nutrition is the problem. While she is obviously seeking answers to a problem it will take more than a simple consultation with a nutritionist to create the needed adjustments. According to the case study by Aerenhouts (2011) to truly achieve significant dietary improvements and prevent the recurrence of former habits monitoring and possible greater intervention may need to take place. Yet since she has read numerous books on nutrition she may be willing to follow the instructions of nutrition professionals. “An athlete needs to be convinced of the important role that diet can have in health and Performance before dietary changes will be considered.”(Aerenhouts, 2011, p.82) Her coach is working to persuade her to do the right thing however she will need to eventually realize for herself what is best.

It was calculated that he should consume about 3,649 calories a day. However, when I entered the same data into my fitness pal when entering the food log, the recommended daily caloric intake was 2,560 which is a major difference. Due to this I tried staying between the range, but tried harder to obtain the 3,649. I found it to be difficult to obtain this amount of calories, and still stay within range of the necessary macronutrients. On day one of the food log, I was able to get his daily calories to 3,615 while staying in range of all the necessary macronutrients. On day two, his daily calories were lower at 3,102, and on day three they were at 3,393. On day one, he does not have much more room to enjoy foods off of the recommended food log, but during the other two he has a couple hundred calories where he could enjoy something on his own. In his profile, it mentioned his love for Mountain Dew. Mountain Dew, along with other sodas, have no health benefits, and are bad for the teeth, but I included 36 oz. of it per day in the recommended food log. The purpose for including it was so he would not be deprived of the things he enjoyed while following specific nutritional guidelines. I figured it would allow him to have a better chance of getting the necessary

Arjun diet consist of pureed food and table food preferably soft solids (mostly cultural dishes), PediaSure and water by mouth. His parents/school aide assist with feeding which takes 30-45 minutes. H/o difficulty swallowing and chewing certain foods (such as chicken or sausage) resulting in him pocketing food (left side of mouth) but will swallow after verbal cue from parents and poor weight gain with concerns of FTT. Per father all these feeding issues have resolved after parents start “force feeding” to ensure adequate nutritional intake. He continues to have a decrease appetite and has become a very picky-eater. He able to self-feed but only preferred food (finger food like french fries, popcorn and cut up hotdogs). Family decline

The three-day diet analysis was interesting. There were many positive attributes to it and definitely negative ones. Over the course of the three days, which were Friday, Saturday and Sunday: and figured this would give a good depiction of what I was consuming on a regular basis. In some places I was consuming more than I should be and in some I was consuming less than I should be. There were also those places were I was getting just the right amount. It is so interesting to me to be able to find out what I am consuming and how I am consuming it. Being an active male, it was most interesting of what I ate, what my average of the three days were, and the plan on how I would correct the way I eat to make it a more healthier lifestyle.

Q6. Grains section: The daily average intake of grains depends on age, gender and if females are pregnant or not, a standard serve of grains is approximately 500kJ. A female that is aged between 14 and 20 years of age should consume an average daily portion of 5 serves of grain products. For women aged between 40 – 50 years of age should consume approximately 6 serves of grains daily. Males aged between 14 – 20 years old should consume approximately 7 serves of grains daily and males aged between 40 – 50 years should consume approximately 6 serves of grains per day. Both meals produced include an approximate 5 serves of grains, meal 1 includes; polenta, the spices (cinnamon, mustard powder etc.) and meal 2 includes; flour, cocoa powder and the baking agents. For an adolescent male this doesn’t reach the recommended daily quota, however this is only one meal of the day, therefore

Breanna's diet is not perfect but with some tweaking she could easily obtain the recommended amount of serves for the five food groups in her diet. One of the strengths in Breanna's diet is that she eats regularly throughout the day. Skipping meals can result in long-term damage to the body; such as compromising brain function and may also cause the body to store fat as it goes into 'starvation mode' within 4-6 hours of not eating (according to Human-Kinetics, 2017.) Considering Breanna is going through puberty it's very important that she eats regularly throughout the day. Another strength in Breanna's diet is that her daily diet is varied, this ensures she consumes different types of nutrients and vitamins. The fact the Breanna drinks full

I also thought Mrs. E.B.'s diet was deficient in vitamins D and E. Vitamin D is found in only a few foods I think replacing the coffee and wine with milk is a good idea especially since it is fortified with vitamin D. The one thing she does have in her diet is vitamin A the casserole she eats contains meat, green beans, carrots, or corn. Vitamin A is important for immune function, bone health, and vision. After reading the chapter i found that alcohol consumption actually depletes Vitamin A in the body. Since Mrs. E.B. drinks a lot of wine i think it would be in her best interest to cut down the amount of wine she drinks.

A Food and Nutrition History assessment can find the age of onset of her obesity status and the factors that led and still contribute to it. Her current eating patterns, such as meal and snack patterns, and the types and mounts of food typically eaten, can identify any nutritional excesses or deficiencies. Dorothy had mentioned lack of energy so it is important to identify any nutritional basis for that, namely a lack of key nutrients and healthy types of fat or energy-dense foods, or even skipping important mealtimes such as breakfast. Also valuable to the assessment is eating location and environment, as older adults living alone and suffering with bereavement typically consume less and are at risk for malnutrition (Brown, 2014, p. 516).

While talking to P.W. I told her of an app that she could use for keeping track of her nutrition, which is free, and asked if I could put a 24-hour period of her food intake in on my computer and then asked if we could go over it, P.W. agreed. What we discovered came to a surprise to P.W., she believed she was doing a good job. For starters, www.supertracker.usda.gov, had P.W. on a 2000 calorie intake and P.W. went over by one thousand and sixty-three calories. We also discovered that her sodium intake, sugar, and saturated fats were too high. Being able to do a food tracker with P.W. gave me an opportunity

Diet is an essential and life changing factor throughout the lifespan. Elderly individuals over the age of 65 need to consider and monitor their diet to maintain a healthy weight and prevent different types of cancers and diseases. This can include diabetes and osteoporosis that are both linked to health. Because of these crucial aspects to one’s health, consumption of adequate calories plus vitamins and minerals are important. These elderly individuals in this age category eat certain foods through their assisted living facilities that give them their meals daily. These facilities are crucial to the lives of their patients. It is first important to consider their diets before deciding what to serve them each day.
