The milk intake was the same as the equivalent to the recommendation which was 5 cups. My meat and beans intake was 6.2 ounces and had the recommendation of 5.5 ounces. My vegetable intake was 1.2 cups and had the recommendation of 2.5 cups. My grains intake was 9.5 ounces and the recommendation is 6 ounces. From what I have gathered I ate more grains and…

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.…
1) I did list down what I had for the last 24 hours and I found I had something from each of the five major food groups which are correct per MyPlate.com. I exceeded the number of servings for vegetables because I take romaine lettuce and add a little bit of seasoning (Mrs. Dash) to it and eat it like I would eat chips. This helps me to get the crunch I like and also keep my caloric intake at a minimum.…
Every item consumed in the three day recorded provided carbohydrates. The red bull energy drink provided 10.9 grams of carbohydrates, the monster energy drink with 27.0 carbohydrates, chicken soup with 6.9 grams of carbohydrates, flaming hot cheetos with 15.0 grams of carbohydrates, white rice with 22.3 grams of carbohydrates, egg and cheese omelet with 2.2 grams of carbohydrates, and Italian pork sausage with 2.4 grams of carbohydrates. The food and beverages consumed within the three day food intake posses lipids. “Dietary lipids are found in a number of forms, including saturated, monounsaturated, polyunsaturated and trans fats and cholesterol and are primarily used by your body for energy” (Dale, 2010). Many different foods that contain lipids also contain protein, and amino…

Other than my Cholesterol being high, I am actually right on track with the other Nutrients and Minerals. My Carbohydrates are “okay” as it say’s. I drink a lot of sports drinks so I think that’s the reason it is okay. My protein is also “okay”, I drink protein shakes everyday that I use with weight training. My total fat is “okay” as well, I try to stay away from fatty foods but It can be hard some times. When I think I need something, which I know, has a lot of fat I grab a protein bar. Which also helps with my total percent of protein. My Saturated fat is over the limit I should have. I don’t really think Saturated fats are bad but I am not a doctor. Saturated fats are derived from animal products such as meat, dairy and eggs. But they are also found in some plant-based sources such as coconut, palm and palm kernel oils. For minerals my Sodium levels are also over the target. My target…
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.…
Based on the Nutrients Report I created for my “Average Eaten” diet what I normally eat seems to be pretty healthy. I work at a Subway full time so I eat that a LOT which is a fairly healthy place to eat. I try to stay away from junk food and I don’t eat in large portions so I’m a healthy weight for my age and height. However, after analyzing all the food I ate in three days I realized apparently just eating fairly healthy and in moderation isn’t enough. You also have to pay attention to the nutrients you’re ingesting like how much protein or fiber is in your diet and make sure you’re eating enough of it. All the while also making sure you do not eat too much in carbohydrates or fats in the process. My report says that I should eat around 130 g of carbohydrates a day and on average I eat 138 so my status is okay, but I’m sure I don’t eat the same amount every day depending on what I decide to eat. Sometimes I do eat some unhealthy food high in carbohydrates especially during the holidays! So I’ll be sure to be careful not to eat foods like that in excess. My target for dietary fiber should’ve been around 25 g and my average eaten fiber was 8g. So I’m pretty far under where I need to be in that area, which doesn’t surprise me because I know I don’t eat a lot of food that is high in fiber because it doesn’t taste that great. So in the future I will be focusing more on foods that have a good amount of fiber in them and add more of those to my normal diet. I found that a lot of berries are high in fiber content and I love fruits like raspberries and strawberries so it will be easy to add more of those type of foods to my diet. For my target total fats I am in a good range too. It should be about 20-35% calories and my average percent was 31% calories. I do try to stay away from too many fatty foods because I know how bad they are for your health so I’m glad my diet shows that I eat an…
it is important that all food groups are included in meals throughout the day. you need atleast 5 portions of fruit and vegetables each day which is 1/3 of your daily intake. Bread rice pasta and potatoes also know as carbohydrates should make up another 1/3 of you daily intake. The last three groups will make up the final third of your daily intake milk and dairy you should eat in moderate amounts as they are high in fats but contain a good source of calcium. Meat, fish, eggs and…
Fiber intake was too low for the college student; even though the student was not constipated, lack of fiber decreases his chances to maintain his weight and increases his chances of heart disease. The nutrition report indicated that insufficient amounts of grains, fruits, and vegetables contributed to his low score. The brown rice provided the student with the most amount of fiber where the steak provided the least amount. To increase the amount of fiber, a dietician recommends that the college student needs to eat more grains in the morning and increases his amount of fruits and vegetables throughout the…
I should avoid getting extra bread and rice and maintain my grain consumption to 10 oz. I should avoid eating too much milk, cheese, and yogurt and maintain my dairy consumption to 3 cups. My fruit consumption is fine with me eating 2 and a half cups of fruit every day. I should avoid consuming a lot of eggs so I can lower my cholesterol intake and lower my protein intake and maintain it at 7 oz. I need to start eating at least 4 cups of vegetables every day and I will start to put broccoli on the side more and have carrots as a snack and have a salad with my sandwiches and meals. I will mark all this on my calendar and planner to not forget and help…
On my three-day diet study I consumed 2,213 calories, which is 93.2% of my DRI. I am basically maintaining my weight, without losing any. My Body Mass Index (BMI) is 23.4%, which is in the normal weight range. My lifetime weight history have always been normal. Before having a baby I weight a lot less, but my weight always fluctuated from 120 pounds to 130. After having my baby at 28, I gained weight and stayed at a much heavier side at 150. Three years after having my son, I decided to change my ways and ate healthier and exercised regularly. Then I lost weight and gained muscles and now weight 138. My weight until now fluctuates a few pounds more or less, it’s the way I’ve always been. I can say I am much healthier now that I have ever been, even If my body changed.…
