I have a habit of buying and eating a lot of frozen foods, which includes frozen pizzas, beer battered fish filets, Mac and cheese, and garlic bread. I also cook some boxed dinners like hamburger or tuna helper to save time on cooking. In my daily diet there are usually not a lot of fruits and vegetables in my daily diet, unless there is some kind of tomato sauce or side’s corn or mixed vegetables. When I compared the three day analysis I found out that I do not have much of a pattern in my daily diet. Sometimes I eat a large amount of grain and other times I may eat the right amount of veggies. There has been a steady amount of bad fats in my diet and this plays a huge role in why I am a little overweight. I consumed 1738 calories in a day; my diet is not at all what the Pyramid recommends. I consumed: 1 ½ ounces of grains and the target is 6 ounces, 1 ¾ cups of vegetables and the target...

...Nutrition - PERSONAL DIET EVALUATION PROJECT The purpose of this project is to put theory into practice by examining your food intake and making decisions about your eating habits. To begin the project, keep a record of your food and beverage intake for three typical days. Write down what you eat and drink and the quantity of each food or drink consumed. Keep another record of one day of your activities (24 hour period). Write down your activities and the time spent on each throughout your day. Include time sleeping or sitting quietly – all activities, including sedentary ones, burn calories. Use the website: choosemyplate.gov and the “Super Tracker” feature to analyze your diet and physical activity. Create a profile for yourself and enter your foods and beverages (item and quantity consumed) for analysis. Substitute a food of similar nutrient content if you can’t find a match within the database. Or, enter ingredients separately for mixed food items. For example, a taco might have: a corn shell, beef, lettuce, cheese, tomatoes etc. See the last page of this document for more detailed instructions for setting up your profile within Super Tracker. Enter your 24 hours of activity into the “Activity Tracker” portion of the program. Refer to the Rate Your Plate Grading Guidelines Rubric for specific grading information for this project – attached at the end of this document.

...Plan Your Name SCI/241 February 5, 2011 Teacher Name Many Americans are concerned, and have started to seek information about nutrition. The truth of the matter is your nutrient intake can affect your current and future health. Besides you are what you eat. Too much saturated fat can increase your risk of heart disease, and too little of calcium can increase your risk of osteoporosis. Americans are trying to find ways to improve their diets. In the United States today heart disease and diabetes are now appearing in younger and younger groups. A diet that lacks a healthy diet or physical activity plays a vital role in ones day to day life. A healthy diet plan can be a cup of broccoli which has more calcium, vitamin C, vitamin A, and folate that have a fewer calories than a half a cup of french fries. There are six classes of nutrients that are needed to help us stay alive, live healthy, grow, and reproduce. These nutrients are water, carbohydrates, lipids, proteins, vitamins, and minerals (Nutrition). This is a view of my daily food plan that was done for three days from the diet analysis showing my eating habits. The website that I viewed features President Obama wife Michelle Obama endorsing the My Plate that replaced the USDA food pyramid in 2011. The goal of the site is to show just how easy it is to monitor what you eat on your plate in a healthier way that even a child can do it. As I monitored my 3 Day Diet Analysis which showed me that I am not the...

...Analysis of Dietary Intake After completing the computerized nutrient analysis of your 7-day food and beverage intake, answer the following questions. 1. Do you feel the three days of the food record are typical of your usual intake? Why or why not? No, using the my fitness pal app made me very cautious of what I ate. I liked it because it made me recognize and distinguish good food choices. 2. How many eating occasions did you average each day? Do you feel you normally eat at designated meal times or would you consider yourself one who snacks frequently? Explain. I am a three to four meal a day type guy. I stuck to the plan eating only 3 meals a day, with a couple of snacks in between. 3. Were there times when you were responding to psychological/social needs for food rather than biological needs? Explain. No 4. Please indicate if your calorie needs from your personal profile are based on the data you inputted or have been adjusted for weight loss, weight gain or for pregnant/lactating mothers. I put in that I wanted to maintain my weight, by doing this I was allowed 2,620 calories before exercising. Individual Dietary Analysis Carbohydrates 1.

...DIET AND EXERCISE ANALYSIS 1 Diet and Exercise AnalYSIS DIET AND EXERCISE ANALYSIS 2 My current eating habits contain a lot of empty calories. I do, however eat plenty of the daily value of fruits and proteins. The food tracker showed that I should be eating about 2000 calories a day while breastfeeding. When I put int the foods I am eating each day, it was under the daily recommended count. The tracker recommends I eat 6 ounces of grains, 2 1/2 cups of vegetables, 2 cups fruit, 3 cups dairy, and 5 1/2 ounces of proteins. I did not eat enough grains (4 1/2 ounces), but I eat over the recommended protein for the day at 13 1/2 ounces. I did not eat any fruits and I was under the recommended vegetables and dairy for the day. I had only one cup of vegetables and 3/4 cup of dairy. Our body is made of 60% water, which it needs to survive. Carbohydrates are important for energy. Proteins are needed for your body to grow properly. Fats are needed for tissue growth and hormone production. Vitamins are needed for different functions but most importantly for your immune system to function properly. Minerals for our body to fully function. My current diet is not providing me with enough water, vitamins, or minerals. I plan to incorporate more foods such as vegetables and fruits that will give me the vitamins I am lacking in my current diet. I also plan to drink more...

...and Butter Diet Tammy Gilbert BIO 123 Nutrition Cecil College The Bread and Butter Diet What more could a person want when dieting than a slice of bread with butter on it? Well, the Bread and Butter diet not only offers, but requires, the dieter to eat three slices of bread per day plus a teaspoon of butter with each. What a dream come true for most people who are looking to lose weight and still have their bread and eat it too! Here is another fad diet that promises quick results and easy weight loss that appears to be almost effortless. Although it is unclear how the diet plan originated, nevertheless, it is particularly popular because it permits the dieter to eat foods that are often restricted, even forbidden, in most fad diets. At first glance, it is easy to get excited about this diet and its many food choices, however, that quickly dissipates upon a closer analysis of the caloric restrictions that have to be followed. The typical plan consists of eating three low calorie meals a day with each having a slice of bread and a pat of butter (one teaspoon) during the meal. To keep it interesting, the bread can be interchanged with different varieties such as rye, bagels, multigrain, whole wheat, and tortillas just to name a few (Bailey, para 2). The diet plan is simple and easy to follow- without a complicated menu or sophisticated recipes to follow. However, it is basically molded around a crash diet concept – lasting only four days - with the success...

...1. Analysis overview After a detailed review of my 3 Day diet, I made a small addition, that I did not mention before, and tried to include all Ingredients in my diet sheet. I found all substitutions for food that I ate. 2.Food Review 10/03/2011 -10/05/2011 During these three days, the average number of calories consumed for each day was 1170kcal MyPyramide Tracker recommends for me 1910 kcal The greatest percentage of my total intake is fruits for all three days. The least percentage of my total intake is grains for all three days. Two of the three days I did not eat grain at all. The fruits group exceeds the recommendation level in all three days and it unlikely will affect my health, because it is simple sugar that is metabolized quickly and easily by the body. Simple sugars, like fructose, are not a problem for people who are active and healthy. An average healthy person would have to consume A LOT of fruit for it to get to the point of being unhealthy. Moderate fruit intake is certainly recommended as part of a healthy diet. But the deficiencies of vegetables and especially grains in my diet can increase risk for heart disease. Lack of dietary fiber from whole grains and vegetables can lead to constipation, increase risk of type 2 diabetes and some vitamins and minerals deficiency. 3.Nutrient Analysis Comparing my intake for each nutrient against the “Recommended or Acceptable Range”, the protein in my diet is almost twice exceeding the recommended amount...
