...purpose of this assignment is to track and display the food choices we make and the way we eat affects our lifestyle and health. This paper address’ my personal food intake for 1 day. Next I will compare my food choices with my WileyPlus profile and determine whether I am maintaining healthy eating habits. 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.

...Kimintang Sidibeh BI 213 Three Day Diet Analysis According to the food pyramid, my diet is horrible considering what I have consumed in these 3 days. It shows that I need to start eating more, and better quality foods. My sugar intake is too high and should be reconsidered. Possibly I could swap out processed sugars for natural sugars; such as in fruit. It is obvious from the records I have provided that I do not take in as much (if any) fruit that one should be consuming on a daily basis. Thus, not only am I depriving myself of vitamins, I am also depriving myself of the fiber needed in order for my digestive system and metabolism to work as necessary. I will have to incorporate more whole grains with fruit and vegetables to act as roughage, as going to the bathroom proves difficult for me- most likely this is why. I was astonished by how many carbohydrates I take in too. Eating a lot of carbs can add to the blockage/ movement in the bowels so I need to consider decreasing the TYPE of carbohydrates that I eat, cutting out white and processed breads and grains, replacing them for whole grains and wheat products. The only milk I intake is with my coffee and tea. Although I have four hot beverages a day with around 2 tablespoons of dairy, I am aware that this is no-where near the recommended 2 cups a day. On a good note however, I do not drink many sugary drinks at all- if any. Coffee, tea and water are my staple liquids therefore the sugar that I eat equals out...

...Comparison of folate intakes in a population of college students using a Food Frequency Questionnaire and Dietary Folate Equivalent Screener Abstract Although food frequency questionnaires are very strong tools in dietary assessment, more efficient methods need to be created to assess specific nutrient intakes such as folate. The dietary folate equivalent screener created by Nutrition Quest is a very efficient method used to assess daily folate intake. The objective of this study is to test whether or not a dietary folate equivalent screener can be used in supplementary of the food frequency questionnaire. The correlation between the food frequency questionnaire and the dietary folate equivalent screener for total folate intake (r = .70) were correlated but statistically insignificant (p < 0.05). However analysis of previous studies suggests that food frequency questionnaire can be supplemented by the dietary folate equivalent screener. Introduction There are many different dietary assessment tools in determining nutrient intakes. The food frequency questionnaire is a dietary assessment tool frequently used in large-scale nutritional epidemiology studies and has been a cost-effective, yet suitable method for self-administered use for dietary assessments (2) (3). However, the food frequency questionnaire is very extensive and usually takes around forty-five minutes to an hour to complete. When only assessing specific micronutrients, such as daily folate intake, more efficient...

...Dietary Intake and Risk Factors for Poor Diet Quality Among Children in Nova Scotia Paul J. Veugelers, PhD1 Angela L. Fitzgerald, MSc, PDt2 Elizabeth Johnston, PhD, PDt, FDC3 ABSTRACT Objective: Public health policies promote healthy nutrition but evaluations of children’s adherence to dietary recommendations and studies of risk factors of poor nutrition are scarce, despite the importance of diet for the temporal increase in the prevalence of childhood obesity. Here we examine dietary intake and risk factors for poor diet quality among children in Nova Scotia to provide direction for health policies and prevention initiatives. Methods: In 2003, we surveyed 5,200 grade five students from 282 public schools in Nova Scotia, as well as their parents. We assessed students’ dietary intake (Harvard’s Youth Adolescent Food Frequency Questionnaire) and compared this with Canadian food group and nutrient recommendations. We summarized diet quality using the Diet Quality Index International, and used multilevel regression methods to evaluate potential child, parental and school risk factors for poor diet quality. Results: In Nova Scotia, 42.3% of children did not meet recommendations for milk products nor did they meet recommendations for the food groups ‘Vegetables and fruit’ (49.9%), ‘Grain products’ (54.4%) and ‘Meat and alternatives’ (73.7%). Children adequately met nutrient requirements with the exception of calcium and fibre, of which intakes were low, and dietary fat and sodium...

...individuals are increasingly being recognised as a significant factor in maintaining, or effecting improvements, in overall health. It is therefore important that people working in the health and social care sectors, or those who are responsible for the wellbeing of others, have a good understanding of nutrition and diet. This unit gives learners an understanding of nutrition from a science-based perspective and of the role that food plays in social contexts. The unit may also provide useful underpinning knowledge for the study of food hygiene and practical culinary skills. Learners will explore concepts of nutrition using the language of nutritional science. Different aspects of nutritional health will be defined and routine ways of measuring this explored. Other aspects of nutritional data will involve describing the general principles on which nutritional requirements are determined in the UK and how information on the nutrient content of foods can be retrieved. Learners will also explore how the nutritional value of foods may be affected by food processing. The function and sources of the main nutrients will be investigated in relation to the contribution they make to the healthy...
