My interest in nutrition began while in high school when I committed myself to improving my athletic performance in cross country running. Fortunately, I grew up in a family that understood the benefits of a balanced diet and was able to take away the importance that fruits and vegetables play in the body. As this interest grew I decided to pursue a degree at Montana State University and am currently planning on furthering my education after graduating. When I have acquired the necessary knowledge, I plan on returning to my home Alaska, and working towards increasing the accessibility and awareness of the importance of a balanced diet. I’m highly motivated to better my home state in a field that both fascinates…
No statistically significantly difference in mean energy intake was detected between the first 24-hour recall and the equivalent day in My Meal Mate (an insignificantly different difference of 68 kJ was observed). No statistically significant differences in macronutrients were noted for first day’s measurements. A statistically significant energy intake difference of 441 kJ was noted between the second 24-hour recall and its corresponding day in My Meal Mate. A statistically significant difference in dietary fat intake was also detected among the second day’s measurements. Interestingly, the measurements of other macronutrients did not display a similar trend: no statistically significant differences existed among protein or carbohydrates. No statistically significant difference in energy or macronutrients existed when comparing the average of the two 24-hour recalls against the average quantity of the two corresponding days in My Meal Mate. Similarly, no significant differences existed when comparing the average of two 24-hour recalls against the average of the entire 7 day diary recording in My Meal Mate. Correlations between the two methods were remarkably high. The correlation for the first 24-hour recall was calculated at .77. For the second 24-hour recall, the correlation coefficient was found to be .85. A correlation coefficient of .85 was also found when comparing the average of the two 24-hour recalls and…

Fran Lebowitz once said, "Food is an important part of a balanced diet" (Moncur (Comp.)). Despite his cynicism, he makes a valid point. I frequently base my food consumption choices on taste then I rely on my multi-vitamin to supplement my poor food choices. Throughout this examination, the protein and fiber content of my food choices for one day will be thoroughly examined.…

If you can make it through a day without one cup of coffee I envy you greatly, but the reality is most of us who are either students or working class citizens survive on coffee, it is a daily practice. As an American living in New Zealand I will be using Bourdieu’s theory and his key concepts of habitus, field, and capital to examine America’s coffee drinking rituals. I will be looking closely at the way that social class influences coffee preferences and their associated meaning in relation to Starbucks and fair trade coffee. Bourdieu argues, “food and eating is much more than the process of bodily nourishment, it is an elaborate performance of…
Analyzing a diet can be very complicated. There are many programs and sources on the internet to give the information needed on the correct amount of food groups and vitamins we need for our bodies. By using the program My Diet Analysis, you are able to gather data containing information from My Plate, macronutrient information, micronutrient information and your actual intake vs your recommended intake on certain food groups. I am also on the fertility diet which is higher in protein, low in carbohydrates, only whole grain and no dairy products. By inputting my information in the MyDiet analysis program I gathered a lot of data that I found intriguing.…
