Nutrition: This diet is quite nutritionally adequate. It includes recommended servings from all MyPlate food groups. Because this diet primarily promotes restricting the carbohydrates intake to manage weight loss through the decreasing in carbs, the grains, fruits and vegetables groups in MyPlate will be reduced. The daily intake meets the minimum recommendations for females, but not for males (<1600 kcal/day). Atkin’s diet doesn’t suggest multivitamin/mineral supplement while reducing calories intake. Breakfast is encouraged. Beside restricting the amount of carbs intake, the dieters are allowed to eat liberal amount of protein, fats and dairy but must eliminate fruits, bread, pasta, beans, nuts and seeds.

...Three Day Diet Analysis SCI/241 Currently my food habits are not consistent. Since I begin work at 6:00am Monday thru Friday I do not always get to eat a healthy breakfast. My breakfast will usually be a banana or some sort of breakfast snack. I do however try to make a large breakfast on the weekends for my family. On the weekends I will usually make some sort of fried potato, eggs or pancakes. During the week for lunch I try to keep away from fast food but that is not always the case. I always make dinner and that will usually be a type of protein, vegetable and a starch. Prior to taking this class I had already started new eating habits. It has been difficult since I was already in a routine of not thinking about the type of foods I was eating. The reason I started to think about my diet was I noticed I started gaining weight and my clothes were to the point of being uncomfortable. I stopped drinking regular soda, sweet tea’s and fruit drinks. I keep a case of bottled water with me at the office. For breakfast I was eating a piece of fruit or small portion of oatmeal. For lunch during the week I was trying to bring leftovers from dinner, but that not always being the case but I would still try to eat something healthier; steamed vegetables with brown rice. After watching “The Food Label and You” video I was shocked! I never considered the serving size on packages, never new about the 5/20 rule and never understood the six key food label facts.

...Diet Analysis Essay - the Results from a 3 Day Study Nutrition has played a big part in my life even prior to taking Biology 101. To say the least I am fascinated by nutrition. I enjoy reading Men's Health magazine and watching television shows like The Doctor's and Doctor Oz because they are filled with nutrition tips, and scientific studies about fitness and health. I constantly follow the latest nutritional news because and I am a firm believer that your diet is the biggest component of your health and I wish to make most of my life. Biology 101 has been an extremely useful and knowledgeable course because I can personally relate to it and can apply much of the information learned to my own life. The Diet Analysis project was wonderful because it gave me a first hand look at my own diet habits. My actual intakes of the different food groups were somewhat near what the "My Pyramid" had recommended. I was within range for grains, fruits and milk. My consumption of meat & beans and discretionary calories were 181% and 150% of my recommendation respectively. Vegetables on the other hand were severely low at only 35% of my recommended goal. It was evident from this basic food guide pyramid that I was over consuming meats/beans and discretionary calories and was under consuming vegetables. I definitely need to adjust my diet so that I will consume more vegetables and a slight increase in fruits. All together I need to consume an extra 2.5 cups of vegetables daily which I will...

...Assignment: 3 Day Diet Analysis SCI241 April 29, 2012 Week One Assignment: 3 Day Diet Analysis My current eating habits are not the greatest, to say the least. Instead of eating healthy for breakfast, such as oatmeal, fruit, and juice, I usually eat a couple of waffles doused with maple syrup and peanut butter. And I have a Pepsi. Lately I have been trying to eat yogurt with granola instead, but I also just realized that the granola is not helping me in the calorie situation. For lunch, if I am at work, I will usually order something from the cafeteria which almost always includes French fries. Sometimes I will order chicken strips, other times a French dip. Lately, I have been trying to bring leftovers from dinner to save money, and I am hoping that helps me a little bit in the calorie department. But again, I always have at least 20 oz. of soda with lunch. I have started bringing a water bottle with me to work so that I am not always relying on soda for my liquid. For dinner, a lot of the time I eat out, which I know the portions are always huge at restaurants, but I still eat it all anyways. I have tried cooking at home more often, which also (hopefully) saves some on calories. With dinner I usually have a couple cans of Pepsi. I have noticed lately that I am gaining weight also, which is very frustrating. I had been at a point that I was losing weight, and I think it is because I was not eating breakfast, and now I make sure that I do. Based on the three...

...DIET & PHYSICAL ACTIVITY ANALYSIS PROJECT University of Maryland University College (UMUC) NUTR 100 Abstract In the following paper I conducted a seven day dietary and physical activity analysis that began on February 3rd till February 9th. The project required to input what I ate into a Supertracker that produced results of my nutrients and food group intake. You will see the outcomes of what I was getting too little of or too much of. Also during this week I monitored how much physical activity I had conducted and input the data into the physical activity tracker. You will also see the analyzation of all six nutrients that are essential to nutrition. Finally there are five articles that are incorporated with my diet. They help explain the meaning of a balanced diet and some of the causes that may occur that I found with my diet during the seven day project. Introduction I would have to describe my overall diet as being good for my age and gender. I do tend to not eat so healthy on the weekends though. But do to my active lifestyle I have been for the most part been able to maintain a healthy weight in my opinion. I conduct regular physical activity for work and on my off time. I would be more active if I were not trying to complete two online eight week courses. Lately most of my off time is spent reading chapters and completing weekly assignments. I was not too worried about meeting my energy expenditure requirements. Because in the Army we conduct...

...Carbohydrates Carbohydrates: Good Carbs Guide the Way ------------------------------------------------- Top of Form What Are Carbohydrates? Carbohydrates are found in a wide array of foods—bread, beans, milk, popcorn, potatoes, cookies, spaghetti, soft drinks, corn, and cherry pie. They also come in a variety of forms. The most common and abundant forms are sugars, fibers, and starches. The basic building block of every carbohydrate is a sugar molecule, a simple union of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen. Starches and fibers are essentially chains of sugar molecules. Some contain hundreds of sugars. Some chains are straight, others branch wildly. Carbohydrates were once grouped into two main categories. Simple carbohydrates included sugars such as fruit sugar (fructose), corn or grape sugar (dextrose or glucose), and table sugar (sucrose). Complex carbohydrates included everything made of three or more linked sugars. Complex carbohydrates were thought to be the healthiest to eat, while simple carbohydrates weren’t so great. It turns out that the picture is more complicated than that. The digestive system handles all carbohydrates in much the same way—it breaks them down (or tries to break them down) into single sugar molecules, since only these are small enough to cross into the bloodstream. It also converts most digestible carbohydrates into glucose (also known as blood sugar), because cells are designed to use this as a universal energy source. Fiber is an exception. It...

...drinks at restaurants, street carts and movie theaters. Under his plan, all restaurants, fast-food joints, delis, movie theaters, sports stadiums, food carts and vending machine will be barred from selling sugar-sweetened drinks in cups larger than 16 ounces. He has called sugar-sweetened beverages a leading cause of obesity and says raising awareness simply isn’t enough anymore. “If we are serious about fighting obesity then we have to be honest about it and courageous about tackling it. We believe it is reasonable and responsible to draw a line.” Bloomberg stated According to statistics, Americans consume close to 50 billion liters of soda per year, which equates to about 216 liters, or about 57 gallons per person. That is a significant amount of sugar. However, it’s not just any sugar, but high fructose corn syrup (HFCS). High fructose corn syrup has become the number one source of calories in the United States, and it’s very clear that it is the primary cause of obesity. A peer-review study published in the British medical journal The Lancet demonstrated a strong link between soda consumption and childhood obesity. They found that 12 year olds who drank soft drinks regularly were more likely to be overweight than those who didn’t. And those who drink diet soda are just drinking another type of poison, as diet drinks contain artificial sweeteners instead of caloric sweeteners. They don’t do anything to curb the obesity epidemic since diet soda is clearly linked to obesity as...

Working parents prefer to buy the branded chips and snacks as they believe that these are prepared hygienically and will provid some amount of energy and nourishment that the children are deprived of because of their parents busy schedules. Parents tend to forget that chips and snacks are fillers and not a whole meal that provides nutrition in some proportion. Consumer VOiCe did comparative testing of well known chips and snacks brands to find out how well these products perform on health and hygiene parametres . Fortunately all the tested products were endorsed as hygienic and as far as being healthy, the manufacturer were playing with words – ‘no added msg’, ‘edible oil’, ‘iodized salt’.

The athlete tends to grab the easiest on the go food for their meal; little do they know that this lack of nutritious food can affect their performance. Student athletes need regular well balanced meals and snacks to maintain the high energy demands of training, competition and the rigor of an academic program (Ziegler et al 2005) showed how the increased competitiveness of the sport raises concerns about the health of these athletes .For example nutrient intake was found to possibly be influenced by factors like; lack of time, hectic training schedule and increased emphasis on physical features, such as leanness of and body image. An increased interest and availability of nutritional information seems to be on the rise ,however, it’s unclear if athletes are more knowledgeable about the role of nutrition on athletic performance...
