3 Day Diet Analysis Report
3 Day Diet Analysis Report

I would describe my current eating habits as poor and unhealthy eating habits. Sometimes I eat healthy, but I noticed I will probably eat once a day and it will probably be something light. Sometimes I will let my insecurities take over my eating habits because I think I’m eating too much or gaining weight. Even though I barely eat I still cook for my son because I do not want him picking up on my bad eating habits. When I do cook for him I make sure I cook two vegetables and a meat for him. My son is very picky, but he is getting better with his eating habits as the days go by. We like to eat more breakfast foods than anything. Every morning I make sure I cook my son breakfast and have dinner ready after school. My eating habits depends on my busy schedule.
When comparing what I consumed on each given day against the recommendations by the Super Tracker it shows that I maintain a mixed balance of the recommended amounts. Looking at my first daily intake I do excellent in milk, meat and beans, total fat, and cholesterol amounts. In grains I do alright but can use some improvement. In vegetables, fruits, saturated fats, and sodium I do poorly. On my second daily intake I did excellent in milk, total fat and cholesterol. I need improvement in grains, saturated fats and sodium. I do poorly in vegetables, fruits, milk, total fat and cholesterol. On my third daily intake I did excellent in meat and beans and saturated fats. I need improvement in grains and sodium. I do poorly in vegetables, fruits, milk, total fat and cholesterol. I consumed from the various food groups either none at all or up to about half the recommended amounts in almost all categories. I was pretty consistent in reaching the recommended for milk, meats and beans.

I would modify my diet to get the recommended servings for each food group by adding the foods that Im missing from my diet. I would add serving of fruits and vegetables that I was sorely

    How does your diet compare to the recommendations you received from the Food Guide Pyramid? I just recently decided that I was going to start eating healthier. I am not on a diet! That is just too much stress. However, I have made quite a bit of progress with changing how I eat. The recommendation that I got were not that off of what I’m trying to accomplish. I need to eat more fruit and vegetables. I have been doing well with the grain and fiber intake. I need to do better with my sodium intake, which is still a little high, but is much lower than what I used to consume.…

    Diseases consume third world countries, due to the lack of proper nutrients. Protein is the most important contributor to the overall wealth of the human body. “Protein is necessary for the building and repair of body tissues. It produces enzymes, hormones, and other substances the body uses. It regulates body processes, such as water balancing, transporting nutrients, and making muscles contract. Protein keeps the body healthy by resisting diseases that are common to malnourished people. Protein also prevents one from becoming easily fatigued by producing stamina and energy” (Georgetown University, 2013). Over the last three days Iprofile was…

    We’ve heard time and time again during our lives how important it is to eat fruits and vegetables or to have a well-balanced diet. We also know how hard it can be to ensure that you are eating enough of the right thing. Are fast food restaurants as bad as people make them seem? How do you know if your diet contains all of the essential vitamins and minerals? The answers to both of these questions lie in the results from the three-day food intake assignment I participated in. Using the information I recorded in IProfile, I was able to record my intake of protein, carbohydrates and lipids, the amount of fiber intake, and notice pattern or trends in my diet that could be modified.…

    I am not a picky eater or one who watches what I eat. I enjoy cooking and I love to eat food that is bad for me. My favorite meal is fried pork chops, mashed potatoes with gravy, corn, turnip greens and corn bread. I am from the south where we use food as a comfort item. When we are happy, sad, mad or just board we eat. We have festivals to celebrate the food we eat. My diet is way off the SuperTrackers recommendations. I eat mainly one meal a day sometimes two. I do not eat a lot of fresh fruits. I need to stop drinking so many soft drinks and I should take out the sugar in my tea. I consumed little to no fresh fruits on a daily basis. I eat a lot of protein, but still not what I should eat daily I only ate around 40% of what I should have. One thing I should do is eat more of the good foods and do less snacking during the day. I am going to make myself a promise to eat at least one fresh fruit a day. I went and bought strawberries and cantaloupe so I can eat a little better. I know this is only a small fix and will only work if I stick to it. I can start to measure my food portions so I do not over eat. This will help me watch the amount of fats and starches that I take in. I love broccoli and could eat more of it, it is full of fiber and nutrients that are good for me.…

    The basic Bar graph report compared my intake values to the recommended intake values for my age, gender and activity level; overall, the comparative bar charts showed that for most of the values, I was close to the recommended amounts. However, a few nutrients that I was over consuming were protein, saturated fat, cholesterol, and vitamins B2 and B12. Other than cholesterol, all the consumption values for the other nutrients were at 200% or more. For vitamin B2 and B12, this was not too concerning, because no upper limit for these vitamins have been set yet, for toxic side effects from these vitamins have yet to be documented. The high levels of saturated fats and cholesterol in my diet most likely stem from the high amount of animal products (milk, cheese, and meat) that I consume. The overconsumption of these nutrients can increase my blood cholesterol levels, and increase my risk for cardiovascular disease. Though as I discovered through my blood analysis, I have optimal levels of blood cholesterol, which I believe is because I am an active person, and exercise regularly. With regular exercise, my muscles will be using ATP, which is produced from saturated fats, so by exercising my…
