...Nutrition - PERSONAL DIET EVALUATION PROJECT The purpose of this project is to put theory into practice by examining your food intake and making decisions about your eating habits. To begin the project, keep a record of your food and beverage intake for three typical days. Write down what you eat and drink and the quantity of each food or drink consumed. Keep another record of one day of your activities (24 hour period). Write down your activities and the time spent on each throughout your day. Include time sleeping or sitting quietly – all activities, including sedentary ones, burn calories. Use the website: choosemyplate.gov and the “Super Tracker” feature to analyze your diet and physical activity. Create a profile for yourself and enter your foods and beverages (item and quantity consumed) for analysis. Substitute a food of similar nutrient content if you can’t find a match within the database. Or, enter ingredients separately for mixed food items. For example, a taco might have: a corn shell, beef, lettuce, cheese, tomatoes etc. See the last page of this document for more detailed instructions for setting up your profile within Super Tracker. Enter your 24 hours of activity into the “Activity Tracker” portion of the program. Refer to the Rate Your Plate Grading Guidelines Rubric for specific grading information for this project – attached at the end of this document.

...Introduction The purpose of this paper is to analyze my personal dietary intake as a way of better understanding the ways in which the foods I consumer are helping or hurting my overall nutrition and health. This project is about understanding how consuming too much or too little of particular nutrients can be unhealthy and do harm to one's body over time. Even more, this project is about dispelling some of the myths that are present about nutrient consumption in order to have a more scientific understanding of what is considered healthy in food and nutrient consumption. This paper will focus on some important nutrients that are important for general health: fiber and protein. My personal daily intake will be analyzed to determine what foods are providing the right type of proteins and fiber, and how food consumption might be adjusted to provide for a healthier nutrient intake. It is important to state at the outset that the nutrient intake that is being used for this analysis is only for a one-day period. However, it will provide some insight into my eating habits and how those habits might be improved from a scientific standpoint. Protein Intake The protein intake that was recorded was well over the recommended or acceptable level of protein intake. My intake of protein on December 10, 2007 was 152 grams. This is almost triple the recommended daily intake of protein of only 56 grams. This was due to the fact that during the day in question, I consumed a grilled chicken...

...QCF Level 3: BTEC Nationals Credit value: 10 Guided learning hours: 60 Aim and purpose This unit aims to give learners an understanding of current thinking on nutritional health particularly relating to users of health and social care services. Learners will then be able to apply this understanding and make recommendations to improve the nutritional health of an individual. Unit introduction This unit builds on learner understanding of the principles introduced in Unit 5: Fundamentals of Anatomy and Physiology for Health and Social Care. Improvements in the diet of individuals are increasingly being recognised as a significant factor in maintaining, or effecting improvements, in overall health. It is therefore important that people working in the health and social care sectors, or those who are responsible for the wellbeing of others, have a good understanding of nutrition and diet. This unit gives learners an understanding of nutrition from a science-based perspective and of the role that food plays in social contexts. The unit may also provide useful underpinning knowledge for the study of food hygiene and practical culinary skills. Learners will explore concepts of nutrition using the language of nutritional science. Different aspects of nutritional health will be defined and routine ways of measuring this explored. Other aspects of nutritional data will involve describing the general principles on which nutritional requirements are determined in...

...you off. Title: Measurement of indices of nutritional status and health in a group of LSBU undergraduate students Aims: To record measurements of 1 )Body composition, blood glucose and haemoglobin in all subjects. 2) To make measurements of bone density and grip strength in female subjects and grip strength only in male subjects. 3) To complete a personal diet diary and assess nutrient intake on an individual basis. Introduction: Tips - Give a brief (around 2 sides) introduction of the area. Mention why the tests are useful and who might use them and who might be interested in the type of data produced (clinicians, public health practitioners, research scientists etc). Methods: Tips - Describe the methods you used to achieve the aims. The basic rule for a methods section is that it should be reproducible by a third party who was not present at the sessions. Include as much detail as you feel necessary to achieve this. Results: Tips – Report your personal data and also the group findings available on the spreadsheet. You do not need to do this for the diet diary data as this would be too much data to consider. For the diet diary you can just report your own findings, inc. total energy per day, % energy from protein, fat CHO and key micronutrients (vit C, D, iron etc) intake levels etc. Compare your dietary intakes with DOH dietary reference values. The other lab data, anthropometry, blood data and bone density and grip strength can be reported for yourself and the group...

...provides an eating plan based on your height, weight, level of physical activity, and diet goals. Additionally, the website produces a nutrient report detailing the individuals average intake of a variety of nutrients, and compares and contrasts it to the target amount. Consuming proper nutrition is extremely important in living a healthy lifestyle. Paying clear attention and keeping an eye on your personal daily nutrition values and intake is vital to maintaining an adequate diet. The purpose of this paper is to analyze my personal dietary intake as a way of better understanding the ways in which the foods I consume are helping or hurting my overall nutrition and health. My personal daily intake will be analyzed to determine what foods are providing the right type of nutrients, and how food consumption might be adjusted to provide for a healthier nutrient intake. For this analysis, I created a plan using Super Tracker that was based on my current weight and activity level, and my goal to lose weight. My physical activity was tracked for the week of March 13- March 19, and my meals were tracked for the day of March 15, 2016. Prior to this project, I had recently changed my lifestyle. My eating habits have been very poor in the past, and my activity level was sedentary. In order to lose weight and live a healthy lifestyle, the recommendations I received from the Super Tracker included a diet of no more than 1800 calories a...

...Diet and Nutrition SCI/220 July 27, 2011 Diet and Nutrition The idea of diet and nutrition comes from the general desire of people wanting to be as healthy as possible. To that end the value of food has come to be measured in its nutritional value. We as a people have determined through research that the nutrients of certain types of foods can provide health and nutritional benefits. Our food and drug administration have established the amounts of vitamins and nutrients we need to sustain a healthy lifestyle and have determined that our body’s daily nutritional needs are satisfied by certain amounts and types of foods. For those who do not eat a healthy diet, a vitamin supplement has become vital and needed to meet their bodies’ daily need for nutrition. Finally, I will be doing a comparison of my diet to the sample profile of Kelly Watson to see how healthful I am eating. Keeping a healthy diet can sometimes be difficult but developing an understanding of the calories intake, portion size, and the nutrients the body acquires can be a manageable education. However, the regrettable understanding of the nutritional content of food is often poor. For example, research shows that consumers drastically underestimate the calorie content of restaurant foods, by as much as 55%, and that despite having awareness of their eating habits, the total calorie consumption is usually underestimated on a daily basis. Furthermore, consumers typically underestimate the extent to...

...Historically, print news has focused on the importance of text and where images have been used, little attention is given to the function of these images in conveying news discourse. However, the relationship between the verbal and the visual deserves further attention. Images have a powerful impact on a viewer’s response towards news and this impact cannot be created by text alone. A critical examination of three recent news events (see appendix) and analysis of the images that they utilise, reveals the communicative functions and the connotative force that is carried in news photography (Bednarek and Caple 2012, pg. 57). By studying these photographs through analytical frameworks, we see that images embody much more than what is depicted within a frame and in fact they “have been worked on, chosen, composed, constructed and treated according to professional, aesthetic and ideological norms” for the purpose of engaging with their audiences (Bednarek and Caple 2012, pg. 57). Prior to our analysis of the three articles, an overview of the analytical frameworks that will be used and their contribution to our understanding of news reporting must be investigated. News articles embody two different semiotic systems, language and image, which share an intersemiotic relationship (Bednarek and Caple 2012, pg. 121). Research of this relationship focuses on the textual strategies deployed in the newsroom to elicit responses from the audience, the words help drive the pictures while the...

Web. 5 Oct. 2015. Donna S. Hill’s article, “Health Benefits Of A Plant-Based Diet (2014),” explains that following a plant-based diet prevents health risks such as cholesterol and diabetes versus an animal-based diet. Hill uses studies of Chinese plant-based diets and American animal-based diets by comparing and contrasting the cause and effect of each dietary preference to back up her claim. Hill’s purpose is to specify the cause and effect of each dietary preference in order to impact the awareness of the reader into considering the health risks that could be associated with his or her own personal dietary preference. Given the medical terminology and statistical analysis in the article, Hill is writing to an audience in the medical field. Messina, Virginia. "Nutritional And Health Benefits Of Dried Beans." American Journal Of Clinical Nutrition 100 (2014): 437S-442S. Environment Complete. Web. 7 Oct. 2015. Virginia Messina’s article, “Nutritional And Health Benefits Of Dried Beans (2014),” asserts that the underutilized consumption of dried beans provide health benefits and reduce health related risks while playing an important role in many diets throughout the world.

...As instructed, after reviewing iProfile Journal I was to review the dietary intake (DRI), and determine if the dietary intake for the day recorded provides a healthy diet. I also determined did I consume the recommended DRI from each of the food groups, vitamins, and minerals and so forth. The purpose of this paper will allow me to determine whether or not the food I consume helps or harm my entire nutrition and health. It also allows me to scrutinize my personal dietary intake for one day. The way of understanding how the consumption of certain foods helps and harms our body is very essential. Some may feel that the less you eat the better it is being that you are avoiding digesting unhealthy foods but the truth is this is harmful. Even so eating more is not healthy. The best way is by digesting the right foods and food amounts. The two important nutrients for general health are fiber and protein. The daily intake for me is essentially analyzed by the foods that supply the accurate type of proteins and fibers. It became clear to me that by regulating my consumption provides a healthier nutrient ingestion. The following food intake calculates for only one day. On October 7, 2011 my protein intake was on the tolerable altitude of protein intake. My protein intake was 160 grams. This is above and beyond the daily intake of protein of 56 grams. The reason for this is because I consumed a grilled chicken salad from Sonic, orange juice, and grilled tilapia. All of the proteins I...
