...Kimintang Sidibeh BI 213 Three Day Diet Analysis According to the food pyramid, my diet is horrible considering what I have consumed in these 3 days. It shows that I need to start eating more, and better quality foods. My sugar intake is too high and should be reconsidered. Possibly I could swap out processed sugars for natural sugars; such as in fruit. It is obvious from the records I have provided that I do not take in as much (if any) fruit that one should be consuming on a daily basis. Thus, not only am I depriving myself of vitamins, I am also depriving myself of the fiber needed in order for my digestive system and metabolism to work as necessary. I will have to incorporate more whole grains with fruit and vegetables to act as roughage, as going to the bathroom proves difficult for me- most likely this is why. I was astonished by how many carbohydrates I take in too. Eating a lot of carbs can add to the blockage/ movement in the bowels so I need to consider decreasing the TYPE of carbohydrates that I eat, cutting out white and processed breads and grains, replacing them for whole grains and wheat products. The only milk I intake is with my coffee and tea. Although I have four hot beverages a day with around 2 tablespoons of dairy, I am aware that this is no-where near the recommended 2 cups a day. On a good note however, I do not drink many sugary drinks at all- if any. Coffee, tea and water are my staple liquids therefore the sugar that I eat equals out...

...Food Intake Food Intake Assignment Mitchell Whitehead SCI/241 May 16. 2015 Timothy Baghurst Food Intake Assignment For this assignment I recorded my complete daily food intake for three consecutive days. During this three day time period I would say that all of the food that I consumed was a great example of my daily diet. They are the foods that I do normally eat, and with that being said this three day food intake armed me with some important information about my diet. I have learned a great deal about my diet in these short three days. I learned a great deal about my normal, or usual, protein, carbohydrate, and lipid intake. I must say that I was genuinely surprised at the results of looking at my carbohydrate, protein, and lipid intake. I gained a majority of protein from three different food sources: New York strip steak which afforded me a whopping 90.3 grams of protein, Roasted turkey meat (no skin) –which gave me 24.9 grams of protein, and deviled eggs which I gained 17.9 grams of protein from. I must say that I was quite surprised by the protein intake from the deviled eggs. Looking over the summary for the three days I was highly surprised by my high volume of carbohydrate intake. It seems as though a great deal of food that I consume on a daily basis is packed full of carbohydrates. The top sources from which I consumed the most carbohydrates is as follows: New York strip steak (64.8 grams), Bagels (31.0 grams), and Chef Boyardee Spaghetti and meatballs...

...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...

Do you feel the three days of the food record are typical of your usual intake? Why or why not? No, using the my fitness pal app made me very cautious of what I ate. I liked it because it made me recognize and distinguish good food choices. 2. How many eating occasions did you average each day? Do you feel you normally eat at designated meal times or would you consider yourself one who snacks frequently? Explain. I am a three to four meal a day type guy. I stuck to the plan eating only 3 meals a day, with a couple of snacks in between. 3. Were there times when you were responding to psychological/social needs for food rather than biological needs? Explain. No 4. Please indicate if your calorie needs from your personal profile are based on the data you inputted or have been adjusted for weight loss, weight gain or for pregnant/lactating mothers.

...Food Intake – 3 Days Edgar Burgos Cruz University of Phoenix SCI/220 Human Nutrition September 12, 2013 Prof. Pierre Edvrard Pharel Food Intake – 3 Days During this week, I Edgar Burgos had to conduct a food intake for 3 consecutive days. This paper will describe my nutritional endeavor for the past three days. I will provide different aspects of my nutritional needs and an in depth analysis on how proteins fats carbohydrates and fiber take part in my 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. During the 3 days food intake, I ate chicken, steak, beans, eggs and turkey which provided proteins. For carbohydrates I had: wheat bread, potatoes, lettuce, carrots, milk, apples, pasta, and white rice. Finally for lipids I had: vegetable oil, olive oil, regular butter and olives. My recorded protein, carbohydrates and lipids intakes are high compared to the recommendations of the Dietary Reference Intake (DRI) for my body measurements. The DRIs are recommendations for the amounts of energy, nutrients, and other food components that healthy people should consume in order to stay healthy, reduce the risk of chronic disease, and prevent deficiencies (Grosvenor & Smolin, 2012). Since my carbohydrates, lipids and proteins are high, I recommend eliminating the steak and any parts of the turkey and chicken which produces excess of fat. I would add more organically proteins...

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.

...diets and the effects that can occur from poor dietary intakes. A three day dietary intake study of Patricia Martineau. | SCI/220 Instructor: Amber Carpe | A balance of nutrients is important to maintain optimal health and energy levels. Scientific studies have clarified that taking a nutritional approach, and controlling the intake of carbohydrates, fats, and proteins can decrease health risks associated with one’s dietary intake. A staggering increase in diabetes, obesity, heart disease, and other medical conditions has lead medical professionals to recognize that controlled diets can help restore ideal health and lower the risk of medical conditions associated with poor diet. In my own personal 3 day food intake study, I became aware of the importance of balancing proper proportions, eating frequent meals as opposed to binge eating, and the dietary modifications that are necessary for me obtain optimal health. This study has helped me to understand the importance of balancing nutrients such as proteins, carbohydrates and lipids. Proteins are foods that come from animals and plant sources and contain a good source of zinc, iron and calcium, but many of these foods can contain a high level of saturated fats and cholesterol. Foods rich in protein help regulate body functions including the immune system. Carbohydrates are a good source of fiber and micronutrients and are found in foods such as; vegetables, fruits, and foods containing whole grains. Carbohydrates are important...

...Food Intake Debra Scott April 18, 2013 Food Intake Which foods in your recorded daily intake provide protein? Which provide carbohydrates? Which provide liquids? 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...

...Food Intake – 3 Days SCI/220 Food Intake – 3 Days I kept a record of my dietary intake for three days using the WileyPLUS iProfile food intake journal. I definitely feel that the journal is a great tool since it breaks down the ingredients of my diet and shows me exactly what it is that I am putting into my body on any given day. In addition, since starting this journal I feel that it is important to be aware of what I am eating and I plan to continue to use this journal in the future. Not only does the journal allow me to record my daily diet but it also shows me the recommended daily values for each of the food groups, minerals, and vitamins based on my age, height, and body weight. Understanding what is being put into my body is essential for living a long, healthy life. I tried to eat a wider variety of foods over the course of the three days so that I could have a balanced diet to write about. Out of the foods that I included in my diet, only a few foods contained protein, carbohydrates, and lipids. The protein in my diet was attributed to the chicken and the green vegetables that I consumed over the three days. The carbohydrates in my diet were mainly from the bread and the pizza that I consumed over the three days. The lipids that I consumed over the three days were from the fatty foods that I ate, such as fish, bacon, and pizza. Lipids come from the fats and oils that are in my diet (Carter). According to the Dietary Recommenced Intake, I had exactly 100%...

...P.W.P Part 3: 30-Day Food Log and Assessment I. Identify the estimated daily caloric need for your weight, age, height, and activity level? * The estimated daily caloric need for a 145-pound, 21 year old, 5’9 female that does 30-60 minutes of moderate activity everyday, is 2200 calories per day. 1. Do you agree with this recommended calorie need? Why or Why not? * I agree with 2200 calories per day because I feel like that is an adequate amount of calories for 3 meals a day, or 6 small meals a day. I found that I wasn’t even able to eat that many calories a majority of the days because I wasn’t eating the adequate amount of food everyday, so I definitely don’t think it’s too less. 2. How does your actual calorie intake compare to your estimated caloric needs? * My actual calorie intake compared to my estimated was under almost every day. My average for all 4-weeks was 1,539 calories per day when I needed 2,200 a day, which was recommended. a. Provide an average calorie intake for each week that you logged your food. * March 7- March 14: 1,663 calories per day * March 14- March 21: 1,623 calories per day * March 21- March 28: 1,942 calories per day * March 28- April 4: 2,103 calories per day b.

...3 Day Food Intake I will be discussing my three day food intake and putting it into perspective. I don’t fully agree with the result of the intake profile due to the lack of actual tools to truly add a person actual intake. I have recorded a three day food intake from March 14, 2014 to March 16, 2014 for the purpose of this report using Wiley Plus and Iprofile. The three day food intake gives a closer look at the nutritional value of the food I eat in my current diet. Furthermore I will be specifically discussing the intake of my protein, carbohydrates, lipids and fiber in my recorded three day food intake. Protein is needed by the body to help build muscle, but it is much more than that. Protein is in all your cells, accounting for you tissues and organs in the body. When you have too little protein your body starts to break down. Your body start taking the protein from your muscles to get the protein it needs. The organs and bones will be put at risk as well as a compromise immune function. Compared to fat and carbohydrate, protein is the most satiating of the macronutrients, meaning it will help fill you up and keep you feeling full so you avoid overeating and food cravings (Shade 2014). When you eat too much protein your body could raise your risk of serious diseases including cancer, heart disease, and liver or kidney problems. Partially, that is because so many protein-rich foods are also high in saturated fat, cholesterol and sodium, all of which can enhance risk factors...
