...recommendations produced by the National Academy of Sciences and the Food and Nutrition Board is called Dietary Reference Intakes (DRI). DRI is also a common term for a guideline of reference values used to assess and plan a healthy individual’s nutrient intake (Wardlaw et. al., 2011, p. 60-61). During a consecutive three-day period, protein intakes, carbohydrate intakes, lipid intakes, macronutrient intake ranges, fiber intake ranges, and dietary modifications are recorded and analyzed in iProfile. Recorded Protein, Carbohydrate, and Lipid Intakes. Macronutrients are substances needed for growth, metabolism, and for other body functions. Macronutrients are nutrients that provide calories or energy (Gary R. 1998) Good day mam, i noticed you graded me a zero in the week one game quiz. I was only added to the class a day before the start date and i did not have access to the class until the first day of class, so i managed and rush to get all my assignments done that same day. Infact i did the game quiz test at the laptop room downstairs during our 30minute break in class just becuase i wanted to get things done then only to find out i got a zero for it. Please may i request to take the game again because i really do not like losing marks.

Maintaining healthy eating habits are a very important part of maintaining a healthy lifestyle. Good nutrition combined with being physically active can help you to reach and maintain a healthy weight, reduce your risk of chronic diseases such as like heart disease and cancer, and promote your overall health. In this summary the writer will address several points that were indicated though a food journal that was recorded for 3 days. Protein, Carbohydrates, and Lipids Carbohydrates, lipids, and proteins make up the three macronutrients that provide energy for your body. My diet included many foods that contained protein. Some of those foods are yogurt, peanut butter crackers, orange juice, tilapia(fish), cheese grits, baked beans, cereal, ramen noodles, chicken alfredo, chicken tenders, salad, chicken nuggets, fries, lasagna, and soft tacos. The fish contained the most protein totaling 22g of protein in one serving. My diet contained many foods that contained carbohydrates.

Which provide carbohydrate? Which provide lipids? lasagna, and baked fish, chikfila burrito, lipids will be sausage. * Review how your recorded protein, carbohydrate, and lipid intake compares with the recommendations of the dietary reference 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? After reviewing my recorded intake on protein, carbohydrates, and lipids it was determined that my carbohydrates is high 519-750g. My protein intake was also too low. In order to balance my numbers out for my carbohydrake intake as well as protein, removing the breakfast burrito and substituting more eggs in my diet would be more ideal. * Is the protein in each of the foods you ate complete or incomplete, thus combining to become complementary? Why is this fact important? yes each protien that I consumed was in fact complete. in which each source of protein came from an animal. It is important to eat protein in which the source is an animal so that you receive all of the amino acids contained. When not eating protein from an animal source you lose necessary nutrients. *...

...Food Intake – 3 Days SCI/220 May 21, 2014 Food Intake – 3 Days SCI/ 220 Week 2 assignment was to document the foods and beverages consumed over the course of three (3) days. I assumed this would be challenging because these past few weeks have been more hectic than usual due to work, and I would be traveling one of the 3 days because I was visiting my daughter in New Jersey. The period I chose was from Sunday May 18th thru Tuesday May 20th. On Sunday, we were actually running around quite a bit because that’s the day I had to drop my daughter off at her mother’s house and trek back to Maryland. Normally, days like this are just filled with unhealthy decisions. Food Intake Day 1 Sunday May 18th was the first day I reported my food intake. I read an article posted on the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Health, reporting “Breakfast is the most important meal of the day. Breakfast provides you with the energy and nutrients that lead to increased concentration in the classroom ("Why You Should Eat a Healthy Breakfast", 2014), sadly, I have an unhealthy habit of not eating breakfast, and this day is no different. My first meal was at 11:30 a.m., for lunch I ate a 12” cheese steak with French fries. Not my most healthy of decisions, but being out of town and having lunch with my family “on the go”; rarely is a healthy intake option chosen. I accompanied my meal with a diet Pepsi ©. For dinner, I was again “eating on the go” as I had begun to travel back...

This paper addresses my personal food intake for the past three days. Next I will compare my food choices with my WileyPlus profile and determine whether I am maintaining healthy eating habits. There are foods that a person can eat in order to make sure that the daily required intake is being made. Sometimes it is really hard for a person like me to make sure I eat all the foods that I am supposed to so that I can consume all the nutrients that my body needs in a day. I know I will need to modify my eating habits along with exercising to complete a lifestyle change. Three Day Intake Foods recorded in my daily intake that provided protein were chicken and eggs. The foods that provided carbohydrates in my daily intake that was recorded were, bread, sprite, chicken and salad dressing. In the recorded food intake the foods that provided lipids were salad dressing, eggs, pizza, and chicken. Although these are three different groups of nutrients most of the foods listed are the same and they provide all three nutrients or at least two of them. Proteins, Carbohydrates and Lipids My average recorded protein, carbohydrate and lipid intake compared to the recommendations of the DRI were not completely met. My average recorded protein intake was 63g and...

...consume products insufficient to number of servings. Thus, regardless of my genuine attempts to eat products of all major food pyramid categories, such as grains (food made of wheat, rice, oats, cornmeal, cereal grains), vegetables (dark green, orange, starchy, dry beans and peas, other), fruits (berries, melons, bananas, apples, etc.), dairy products (milk, cheese products, yogurts, milk-based deserts) and meat and beans (meats, poultry, eggs, fish, nuts and seeds ), my daily intake usually remains inadequate. After giving it more thought I have realized that the reason for this is my tendency to divide the categories of pyramid among several intakes. For example, after having eaten something from the vegetable or fruits group I do not consider adding another serving of those to my remaining meals. Some of the product groups, such as, for example, meat, I have been purposefully limiting, aware of it being very rich in fat and hard to digest. This situation is even more complicated by the fact that my choice of products is frequently monotonous, thus, leading to the inadequate daily supply of the listed food groups. Moreover, while undersupplying myself with most categories, I simultaneously tend to have a rather high intake of protein because of my weak understanding of protein-containing foods. So, the results are unsatisfactory; while I attempt to have a balanced and rich in nutrients diet, my actual daily supply of important vitamins, minerals and proteins is not balanced enough...

I will be providing different aspects of my nutritional needs and an in depth analysis on how proteins fats carbohydrates and fiber take part in an everyday diet and what are these functions. This is intended to broaden my views of a healthy lifestyle, and how to achieve it through a variety of food groups. In this essay the resources utilized where provided by the educational institute with the purpose of facilitating my research objectives. Food Intake – 3 Days In my recorded daily intake the foods that provided protein were beef, turkey, chicken and beans. All of the foods mentioned before provided lipids. The recorded protein, carbohydrates and lipid intakes were above the recommendations of my DRI. Since they were too high I would recommend eliminating the beef and any parts of the chicken and turkey which have excess fat. I would add more lean meats and organically proteins. Surely I would eliminate any high fat foods, emphasize in low fat – low carbohydrate foods like vegetables and salads. I ate both complete and incomplete proteins, but combining both they provided a complimentary asset of proteins. This is very important, “any protein that is incomplete on its own but may become complete when combined with other proteins to provide all of...

The foods that provide protein in my 3 day intake are eggs, chicken and turkey. There were some foods that provided carbs also. Those foods were sweet potato, fried chicken and rice. Lipids constitute a broad group of naturally occurring molecules that include, fats, waxes, sterols, and fat-soluble vitamins (such as vitamins A, D, E, and K. I didn’t know what lipids were at first, but most people think of lipids negatively because they associate them with fats. Although come lipids are classified as fats, lipids are not bad. The food that contained lipids on one of my intake days were eggs. Other foods that contain lipids are poultry foods, such as beef, fish and cheeses. Review how you recorded protein, carbs, and lipid intake compares with recommendations of the 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? My protein on this 3 day intake is an average of 125g, and the recommendation on my DRI says that it should be at 69-242g. My carbs on this 3 day intake is an average of 90g, and my DRI says that it should be at 311-450g, so this means my carbs are lower than should. I would add more good carbs to my diet and more...

...conscious efforts to lower my caloric intake and implement more protein in my diet. My 3-day meal journey consist of food that can be found in the four major food groups dairy, meat, vegetables, and bread. Turkey, fish, and cheese are just a few foods that will provide the body with efficient protein. Bananas have very little protein but are a good source of complex carbohydrates, and are good to eat after a work out. Milk is a fairly good source of protein, try also to eat nuts, seeds, lentils, beans, and eggs. If you are not vegetarian, then fish can also be a great source of protein. Throughout the week I try and drink smoothies. Smoothies are a great way to grab a quick meal on the go and still get your daily nutritional requirements. My smoothies consist of apple juice or pineapple juice and lots of organic fruits (berries, mango, bananas, peaches) and I also add some carrots, kale, and protein powder. Insufficient intake of proper nutrients can limit the body's immunity, limit the body's ability to rebuild itself from daily punishment so that your muscles do not rebuild, it can cause you to have bowel problems, infections, decreases your ability to think and remember things - so essentially without proper nutrients, vitamins, and the building blocks of life such as protein, your body can wither away. My recorded protein was consitantce with what the dietary reference intake recommended. However, my recorded protein and carbohydrate-fat intake was a little higer than the recommened...

...hree Day Food Intake SCI/220 March 20, 2012 Dr. Don Little Three Day Food Intake After complete documentation of all my foods for three complete days I have consumed 12% of my protein intake, 54% of my carbohydrates, and 35% of my lipids. I kept within my average DRI range in all 3 categories, however, I was on the low side of my DRI scale in protein and on the high side in lipids. The foods that I consumed consisted of Chef Boyardee, pizza, Sargento cheese slices, and spaghetti, which contained my protein, Honey Nut Cheerios, coke, bananas, peas and carrots, cheesecake, and a bake potato, which contained my carbohydrates, and all of these foods contained my lipids. These foods listed did not necessarily contain a lot of protein, but once they were all consumed I did have a complete combination over a three day period. It is important to consume of your daily protein because your body begins to take away from your carbohydrates and lipids to make up for your lost protein, which can result in drowsiness or weight loss/gain, and it can also cause illness. Protein, carbohydrates, and lipids are referred to as macronutrients. Macronutrients are substances needed for growth and metabolism, and they also provide energy (“Macronutrients”, 2004). When we consume too much or too little of a macronutrient we can become more susceptible to illness or disease. For example, two diseases that develop from too little protein are Kwashiorkor and Marasmus, and too diseases...
