Which foods in your recorded daily intake provide protein? Which provide carbohydrate? Which provide lipids?
The foods that I recorded in the last three days that include protein are Eggs, Bacon, Tomatoes, Kale, Fish, Broccoli, protein bar and protein shakes. The foods that provided Carbohydrate are, Eggs, Tomatoes, fish oil dietary supplement pills, Broccoli, Kale, Protein Shake and Protein Bar. o
Review how your recorded protein, carbohydrate, and lipid intake compares with the recommendations of the dietaryreference intake (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?
o
Is the protein in each of the foods you ate complete or incomplete, thus combining to become complementary? Why is this fact important?
The protein that I ate was complete proteins that contain all 9 essential amino acids and come from animal sources. I included fish, dairy, meat, poultry and eggs. I also combine complimentary proteins such as almond milk and beans. Incomplete protein sources have only low amounts of some of the essential amino acids. It is important to combine two or more foods with incomplete proteins, to form complementary proteins, can provide adequate amounts of all the essential amino acids. Complementary proteins do not need to be eaten together, so long as the day's meals supply them all.
o
How much of your daily-recommended protein, carbohydrate, and lipid intake did you achieve? Were you surprised by the number? If your macronutrient intake is insufficient, what might you do to bring it into the recommended range? Provide specific recommendations. •
