...NUT2040: Introduction to Nutrition Diet Analysis Project 1: MyPyramid Analysis and Macronutrient Analysis (100 points) Introduction to Overall Diet Analysis Project The Diet Analysis Project is divided into 3 projects due throughout the semester. The entire project is worth 200 points – Project 1 is worth 100 points, Project 2 is worth 35 points, and Project 3 is worth 65 points. The goal of the Diet Analysis Project is for you to understand your typical dietary habits in order to learn how you can improve your eating habits to benefit your health. To do this you will keep a 3-day food record and then analyze your diet by entering the data into an online software program called MyDietAnalysis. You will use the same 3-day food record and reports from MyDietAnalysis for all diet projects due throughout this course. Note: You will NOT be graded on your dietary habits; you will be solely graded on your performance for ANALYZING your diet. Introduction to Diet Analysis Project 1 Diet Analysis Project 1 is worth a total of 100 points. Following are instructions to complete the first section of the project.

As fast food portions have grown so have most American’s waistlines. In this age of bigger is better fast food portion sizes are not necessarily healthily portion sizes. Portion sizes, Nutrition Facts and Government Agencies & Surveys. Modern portion sizes are 3 to 16 time the recommended serving size, Fast food beverages range from 12oz to 64oz+ depending on the restaurant. “A study published in the Journal of the American Medical Association found that Americans consume around 10 percent more calories than they did in the 1970s” According to Monte. “The NHLBI (National Heart, Lung and Blood institute) tells us that a serving of meat should be the size of a deck of cards while one pancake should be the size of a CD.” According to Monte. “While it is clear that the reasons for the epidemic are multifaceted, survey and economic data suggest that much of the rise in obesity can be attributed to an increase in caloric intake” According to Downs, Loewenstein & Wisdom. The average 12 ounce serving of mountain dew has 170 calories, 0 grams fat, and 46g Crabs and 0 grams protein. According to Monte, The usual suggested serving size is 8oz which translates to 110 Calories & 31g crabs.

...reports for the findings in the following paper, Food Intake—5 Day. The foods in my recorded daily intake that provide protein are: whole wheat toast, burgers, roast beef sandwiches, sausage, quesadillas, chicken wrap, and my daily supplements. The foods that provide carbohydrates are: roast beef sandwiches, French fries, tomatoes, quesadillas, chicken wrap, and soda. The foods that provide lipids are: roast beef sandwiches, sausage, burgers, fish tacos, onion rings, and eggs. After reviewing my recorded protein, carbohydrate, and lipid intake compares with the recommendations of the dietary reference intake (DRI), my results are as follows: Calories recommended: 2430, calories intake is 1255. My recommended in Fat Total is 20 - 35%, my intake is 686 kCal. My recommended in Carbohydrates 45 - 65%, my intake is 370 kCal. My recommended protein is 10 - 35%; my actual intake is 221 kCal. I am over acceptable macronutrient distribution range in my fat totals, under acceptable macronutrient distribution range in carbohydrates, and within acceptable macronutrient distribution range in protein (Grosvenor & Smolin, 2010). According to Cleveland Clinic (2013), “a gram of fat has about twice as many calories per gram as carbohydrates and proteins.” Reducing fat intake lowers cholesterol which will help reduce the risk of heart disease. By reducing the fat intake will also help reduce risks in developing high blood pressure, cancers, and...

...Fad Diets: Positive or Negative? Keith Daugherty DeVry University Fad Diets: Positive or Negative? Chad, a middle aged man, goes to work every day of the week to provide for his wife and three children. He wants nothing more than to live a full and healthy life and to always be there for his family, just like his father was there for him and his mom, growing up. Chad attended his annual check-up with the family care provider that he has seen for many years. He has always felt fine and thought he was as healthy as can be. While Chad was with his family care provider, he was told that his cholesterol levels were high, that he has high blood pressure, and that he has an increased chance of experiencing a myocardial infarction, also known as a heart attack. His family care provider decided that Chad needed to lose some weight and start eating healthier in order to lower his blood pressure, lower his cholesterol levels, and decrease his chance of suffering a myocardial infarction. Chad agreed to make his doctor’s recommended lifestyle changes because he wanted to be there for his family no matter what the cost. After leaving his family care provider’s office and speaking with this wife about the bad news, he realized that he did not have a plan of action as to how he was going to lose the extra weight that was the source of his health problems. He didn’t know many things about eating healthier or maintaining a healthy lifestyle so he was unsure of where to begin. Later that...

...temporary eating pattern for a determined period of time. The simple truth is that a temporary eating pattern leads only to temporary fitness gains. Make good choices consistently and you will achieve your fitness goals sooner rather than later. Two: Try to stick to the basic and most natural elements of food. Anything that occurs in nature is certainly preferable to anything laced with chemically-made ingredients. Coconut oil, for example is a delicious alternative to margarine or even butter. Does it contain saturated fats? Yes, but its fat that occurs naturally as opposed to something created in a lab. Substituting organic fare for traditional supermarket finds is an easy and quick way to add solid nutrition into your daily life. Three: Stick to protein-based meals. We are made of protein. Unfortunately, however, the protein we are made of can also be broken down and used a fuel. As a result, our bodies are constantly breaking down and building proteins. Four: Don’t forget to include vegetables and leafy greens in each meal. A simple and quick way to remember this is to make sure there are multiple colors on your plate. The more colors present in a meal, the higher the nutritional content is likely to be. This advice isn’t only helpful for adults, its also a good way of teaching children how to make healthier choices as they grow and develop. keeping nutritional strategies simple will help you stick with your goals longer. Overcomplicating the matter can lead to discouragement...

We are supposing that we are working for a food company that wants to launch a new weight loss product designed for people who are interested in getting in shape. The purpose of this study is to determine how calories are affected by Proteins, Carbohydrates and Fat; and to provide the company with the necessary information it needs to know how to get the desired level of calories by manipulating the different variables. In order to conduct the study, we will be using a multiple regression model. This model will consist of one dependent variable: Calories; three independent variables: Fat, Carbohydrates, and Proteins; and one dummy variable which is the nature of the product. That is: Liquid or Solid. ...

...Eating healthy vs. Prescription weight loss pills Amy Kelley COM/155 June 16, 2013 Jessica Ptomey Eating healthy vs. Prescription weight loss pills The World Health Organization estimates that nearly two-thirds of all American adults are overweight. The National Center of Health Statistics recently found that 34% of Americans are clinically obese (10 Weight Loss Statistics, 2013). Those are very shocking statistics to hear about our nation. What we do with that information is up to us. We can accept the weight that we have as a nation or chose to lose it. Eating healthy and exercise are important for losing weight but there are some advantages and disadvantages to prescription weight loss pills. Here are some facts that can help you make the choice. Proteins are nutrients that your body needs to stay healthy. Protein is recommended at the absolute minimum of ½-gram per pound of bodyweight per day for people who do not get exercise and 1 full gram of protein per pound of bodyweight for people who are active in any way (How much protein do you really need to eat every day?). But do not forget about the b\vegetables. Vegetables, also, play an important role in losing weight. Put out a vegetable platter. A body of research out of Pennsylvania State University finds that eating water-rich foods such as zucchini, tomatoes, and cucumbers during meals reduces your overall calorie consumption (Easy ways to lose weight: 50+ ideas, 2013). If you eat fewer calories than you...
