...Food Intake Food Intake Assignment Mitchell Whitehead SCI/241 May 16. 2015 Timothy Baghurst Food Intake Assignment For this assignment I recorded my complete daily food intake for three consecutive days. During this three day time period I would say that all of the food that I consumed was a great example of my daily diet. They are the foods that I do normally eat, and with that being said this three day food intake armed me with some important information about my diet. I have learned a great deal about my diet in these short three days. I learned a great deal about my normal, or usual, protein, carbohydrate, and lipid intake. I must say that I was genuinely surprised at the results of looking at my carbohydrate, protein, and lipid intake. I gained a majority of protein from three different food sources: New York strip steak which afforded me a whopping 90.3 grams of protein, Roasted turkey meat (no skin) –which gave me 24.9 grams of protein, and deviled eggs which I gained 17.9 grams of protein from. I must say that I was quite surprised by the protein intake from the deviled eggs. Looking over the summary for the three days I was highly surprised by my high volume of carbohydrate intake. It seems as though a great deal of food that I consume on a daily basis is packed full of carbohydrates. The top sources from which I consumed the most carbohydrates is as follows: New York strip steak (64.8 grams), Bagels (31.0 grams), and Chef Boyardee Spaghetti and meatballs...

...Food Intake Daniel Catura SCI-220/Human Nutrition January 26, 2011 James A. Davis Food Intake The iProfile Journal entry I entered is for the day of Tuesday, January 25, 2011. The food and drink I consumed on Tuesday is like that of an average day for me with the exception of the alcohol I drank in the evening. I had an everyday breakfast of hash browns, eggs, bacon, and toast. I also drank a cup of orange juice and two cups of two percent milk. I do not usually eat at fast food restaurants, but for lunch I went to Long John Silver’s, where I ordered a number three off the restaurant’s menu. A number three includes two hush puppies, one fish plank, one chicken plan, French fries, and a medium soft drink. When I arrived home I promptly started preparing dinner that included a salad, pasta with sauce, and sausage. The salad was made of lettuce, tomatoes, onions, carrots, and cucumbers. I also used regular Italian Salad dressing. For the main course, I boiled Rigatoni, and topped off with Ragu pasta sauce. I added onions and mushrooms to the sauce. As for the side, I grilled two pork sausages. The beverage that accompanied dinner was a 20-ounce of Coca Cola. After dinner I went to a bar with my fiancée. At the bar I had two Captain Morgan’s Rum and Cokes and three Bud Lights. Before I inputted the consumption of food onto the iProfile site...

I already know I will need to modify my eating habits along with exercising to complete a lifestyle change. One-day food intake My one day food intake is a typical daily intake on any given or an average day for me. Before taking this class I had thought about changing my health and food habits but never followed through on any plan. At first iProfile was frightening but once the facts started to flow and information was displayed, I began to welcome the results. The biggest eye opener was that so many foods have so many types of nutrients in them and after looking at my results for one-day it is very apparent for an individual to have a variety of food in their diet. Listed below are the results of my one day food intake: Saturday, October 15 Breakfast 1.0 items QUAKER Instant Grits Original, Dry 2.0 items Eggs, Scrambled, No Added Fat 2.0 oz.

...Social Facilitation and its influence on food intake Social facilitation has shown to bee an attribute to the aspect that some people have a higher susceptible level to social influence; an individuals factors can make him/her more attentive of evaluation. This can have an effect on an individuals presence in front of observers, where the individual can be more greatly affected in presence of others. Esma is an individual of normal body weight who attends a social dinner consisting 12 other people, whereas two of whom she is familiar with. Considering this, I will firstly proceed to argue if social facilitation influences the amount of food intake as in Esmas situation, and secondly, evaluate the correlation if Esma has a low trait of empathy. There has been shown to be three distinct effects on peoples behavior when consuming food among other people. The first one indicates that people usually eat more, when eating in a group (Herman et al, 2003). Research show that individuals eat up to 50% more while eating with others, than eating alone (De Castro & De Castro, 1989). There has also been shown that there is a significant correlation between social facilitation and meal duration (Bell & Pillner, 2003).However, another theory states that individuals have a tendency of mirroring the eating behaviors when eating in presence of other individuals who either eat a lot or little. Findings showed that individuals consume more when eating with individuals with a high consumption...

I will be providing different aspects of my nutritional needs and an in depth analysis on how proteins fats carbohydrates and fiber take part in an 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. In this essay the resources utilized where provided by the educational institute with the purpose of facilitating my research objectives. Food Intake – 3 Days In my recorded daily intake the foods that provided protein were beef, turkey, chicken and beans. All of the foods mentioned before provided lipids. The recorded protein, carbohydrates and lipid intakes were above the recommendations of my DRI. Since they were too high I would recommend eliminating the beef and any parts of the chicken and turkey which have excess fat. I would add more lean meats and organically proteins. Surely I would eliminate any high fat foods, emphasize in low fat – low carbohydrate foods like vegetables and salads. I ate both complete and incomplete proteins, but combining both they provided a complimentary asset of proteins. This is very important, “any protein that is incomplete on its own but may become complete when combined with other proteins to provide all of...

...Food Intake Debra Scott April 18, 2013 Food Intake Which foods in your recorded daily intake provide protein? Which provide carbohydrates? Which provide liquids? The foods that provide protein in my 3 day intake are eggs, chicken and turkey. There were some foods that provided carbs also. Those foods were sweet potato, fried chicken and rice. Lipids constitute a broad group of naturally occurring molecules that include, fats, waxes, sterols, and fat-soluble vitamins (such as vitamins A, D, E, and K. I didn’t know what lipids were at first, but most people think of lipids negatively because they associate them with fats. Although come lipids are classified as fats, lipids are not bad. The food that contained lipids on one of my intake days were eggs. Other foods that contain lipids are poultry foods, such as beef, fish and cheeses. Review how you recorded protein, carbs, and lipid intake compares with recommendations of the DRI. If your recorded protein-carbohydrate-fat intake was too high or too low, which foods might you add or remove to achieve your goal and keep other nutrients in balance? My protein on this 3 day intake is an average of 125g, and the recommendation on my DRI says that it should be at 69-242g. My carbs on this 3 day intake is an average of 90g, and my DRI says that it should be at 311-450g, so this means my carbs are lower than should. I would add more good carbs to my diet and more...

...obtain and maintain optimal health. The recording food intake for three days provides many areas of nutrition that I am more aware of that before; this includes protein, carbohydrate, lipid, and fiber intake needs. Meeting the nutritional needs of the human body helps to ensure a healthy lifestyle that is free of disease and illness. Intake of Protein, Carbohydrates, and Lipids The 3-days-diet from the iProfile data shows the majority of protein intake from meats, such as chicken and tuna. The data shows that protein is a nutrient in nearly every food source but is lower than four grams if it is not a meat product. Carbohydrates are in almost every food item in the 3-day-diet records; however, the majority of carbohydrates come from consuming grains, fruits, vegetables, and sugars, such as an orange, grapes, bagel, red potatoes, granola, and milk. Aside from the small portion in granola, the majority of lipids come from meat and dairy products, such as sour cream, butter, blue cheese dressing, cream cheese, chicken, and tuna. The daily recommended intake (DRI) is the level of percentages of nutrients that science currently states what an individual needs to maintain optimal health. Wardlaw and Smith (2011) explain that the current DRI of kilocalories from nutrients is 55 to 75 percent from carbohydrates, 15 to 30 percent from lipids, 10 to 15 percent from proteins, and 25 milligrams of dietary fiber. The nutrient intake percentages from daily recordings of the 3-day-diet...

...Food Intake-3 Days As I was taking notes of my food intake for the past three days I have realized many things about myself. I thought I was eating certain foods very often and limiting myself of many other things yet when I see everything labeled in its correct food category I have found to be very shocked. As I review my food intake for my three days I see that I have consumed the right amount of carbohydrates that the body requires. I have maintained myself within the recommended range of consumption. The foods I ate that provided the carbohydrates required was the fruits and vegetables I had for these three days. On Wednesday I ate an apple which provided the carbohydrate for the day, at least for my day since that’s all I ate. On Friday I had a glass of orange juice. I also had two pancakes which contained carbohydrates. On Saturday I had one two bananas and some carrot slices with my salad. Saturday morning I had a bowl of special K cereal. This was my menu of carbohydrates for three days. It’s not much but then according to the food journal summary I stayed within the correct range. The protein I had on Wednesday consisted of chicken deep fried and chicken salad. On Friday I had some sausage in the morning and pepperoni for dinner which provided the protein. On Saturday I also had some barbeque chicken and ribs. These foods also contained lipids as some of them were fried. I had some cheese on the mashed potatoes which also had some lipids. As I compare my intakes with...

I have been doing my on research about the up coming problem in the community. It appear to me that something is in the drinking water, and that is becoming a big issue in the community. I been taken the drinking water to the lab and the water appear to be a hazard to the people that are living in this community. The different strategies that I been taken to solve this on going issue is testing the drinking water to back up my point with fact’s about this issue. The other strategies that I use to make the research is to go house to house asking questions about how much water did they drink per family a day. Every family that I ask have gotten sick right after drinking the water, and had to go see the doctor. I have proof of their medal records for each family living in the community that have gotten sick after drinking the water. I also have been seeing dead animals along the way beside the drinking wells that is in the community. I also called the Animal Control Unit to ask them can they test the animal body’s to see what cause there death. They told me that it was something that they take that was hazard. The assumption that I had to use to make sure not to interfere with my thinking is to back up my thinking with fact’s and evidence. As long as I have fact’s from my own research that...

...Once upon a time, I was sitting in my room on a dark and stormy night watching T.V. Then all of a sudden my power went out, so I went to look for a flash light, but I started hearing noises from the garage, so I went out there to see what it was. When I went out there, and my garage was open and no one was there. Then, I panicked because I didn’t know what to do. The garage was closed when I got home, so I freaked-out and I closed it then went into the house. That’s when I started hearing those noises. I was scared, so I went to find my dad so I could tell him what was going on because I had know idea about what happened. Then, we went to the garage to see what was going on, and when we went back to the garage we found out that some one was breaking into it. We called the cops but, by the time they got there, the guy was gone. I had this weird feeling that someone was watching me, so I told my dad. He said that he had the same feeling as well, so we went all around the house to find out where that feeling could be coming from. Well we went outside to find out what it could be, and when we got out there, someone was watching us from our neighbor’s house. We went back into the house to fix the power, then we started hearing noises again, so we went to go find out what it was. We found the noise. It was under the house, but we didn’t want to go under there. We called my uncle. He went under there he found it, and when he found it he came back and told us that he couldn’t see...
