...Three Day Food Intake Jess Keck SCI/241 March 29, 2015 Mrs. Skinner Three Day Food Intake Maintaining good eating habits is becoming less important. An unhealthy diet will impact the way a person looks and what a person is able to do physically. Health and diet play a major role in the longevity of a person’s life. People do not take the time to educate themselves on what a person eats and how it may affect one’s health. The recommended intakes of food are categorized into five major food groups. The five major food groups include grains, vegetables, fruits, dairy, and meats. In order to maintain a healthy diet a person must include all five on a daily basis. Carbohydrates, proteins, and lipids are a part of the five major food groups; the way a person consumes theses nutrients can play a healthy and unhealthy role in a person’s diet (Wikieducator, 2008). Carbohydrates are supplied in food in three forms, starch, sugar, and fiber. A major source of a human’s energy is provided through the starch and sugar intake. A low amount of carbohydrates in a person’s diet could result in lack of energy needed to keep the body up and running. The tissues in a human body need glucose at all times that is provided by the carbohydrates a person consumes (Wikipedia, 2015). On my three-day intake I consumed an average amount of carbohydrates needed to be consumed on a daily basis. The foods I consumed that consisted of these carbohydrates were foods such as bread and French...

...Three Day Food Intake My personal three day food intake average was a little over 2200 calories per day. Completing meals healthier and with lower calories will help me stay healthy and lose weight. The average calorie intake for a person my age and weight is over 3600 calories (iProfile 2.0, 2011). Eating foods low in fat and sugars will not only help me lose weight, but also make my body feel better. Compared to my previous one day food intake of 5600 calories this three day diet is noticeably better. My diet included protein which came from the meats I ate, turkey and beef. The carbohydrates came from the bread in my sandwiches, the pasta in the lasagna, and the oatmeal for breakfast. The lipids, or fats that I consumed were included in all the meats and breads that I consumed. My intake of all the nutrients was within the limits of the average comparison except I was a little low on my proteins by 5 grams and carbohydrates were low by over 100 grams. Watching what I eat could contribute to the lower levels of carbohydrates but a simple increase in whole grain would bring those levels up and also be a healthy choice. The proteins I consumed were completes proteins. The meats I ate were considered complete because they provide all the essential amino acids (Center for Disease Control and Prevention, 2011). Consuming the proper amount of macronutrients in your diet is essential for proper health and growth of your body. Proteins are needed to keep the body growing properly...

...The narrator is the key and main character in Ralph Ellison’s eloquent novel, Invisible Man. Mr. Ellison’s portrayal of the narrator is colorful, meaningful, one that can withstand time and identifiable for all. This portrayal transcends all color barriers as well as any socioeconomic background. It was masterful of Mr. Ellison to highlight a young man in his prime and build a story around his coming of age. Any one of us can relate to how it is to be away from home for the first time in your life and you feel you are an adult, a person that can make their own decisions, be accountable, responsible, and trustworthy all on the premise of who you are, yourself. For some of us it begins with the experience of college, some it may happen a little sooner or perhaps a little later. For me, it was later. I had just recently completed a college program in downtown Chicago and landed my first real job. It was acquired not through any linkage to any work study program from school or helping out friends of relatives or anyone I personally knew. This was the real deal. I was working for a huge international insurance company by the name of INA. They were known for their property and casualty underwriting business. Soon after I came on board, INA was merged to form a new and bigger company, CIGNA. I had hit the big time! I was hired to assist a gentleman by the name of John Anderson who lived in Elmhurst, Illinois. I bonded with him immediately upon interviewing with him, and I was...

...Ralph Waldo Ellison Ralph Waldo Ellison was born on March 1, 1914, in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, and named after journalist and poet Ralph Waldo Emerson. Ellison's doting father, Lewis, who loved children and read books voraciously, worked as an ice and coal deliverer. He died from a work-related accident when Ellison was only three years old. His mother Ida then raised Ralph and younger brother Herbert by herself, working a variety of jobs to make ends meet. In his future book of essays Shadow and Act, Ellison described himself and several of his friends growing up as young Renaissance Men, people who looked to culture and intellectualism as a source of identity. A budding instrumentalist, Ellison took up the cornet at the age of 8 and years later, as a trumpeter, attended Tuskegee Institute in Alabama, where he studied music with his eye on becoming a symphony composer. In 1936, Ellison went to New York over the summer with the intent of earning enough money to pay for his college expenses, but ended up relocating. He started to work as a researcher and writer for the New York Federal Writers Program, and was befriended by writers Richard Wright, Langston Hughes and Alan Locke, who all mentored the fledgling scribe. During this period, Ellison began to publish some of his essays and short stories, and worked as managing editor for The Negro Quarterly. Writing `Invisible` Man` Ellison started writing what would become “The invisible Man” while at a friend’s farm in Vermont...

...Indivisible Individuality In Ralph Ellison's Invisible Man, the needs ideas, and duty of the individual are proven to be more significant than that of the group, so one's own identity is preserved. Each individual, both black and white, has both a responsibility to their community and an obligation in retaining their own personality as an individual. The main character, the Narrator, represents this himself in never telling the reader his actual name, and how he had temporarily lost his sense of individuality (however deems himself "ready" to come back by the end of the book). He is continually tested throughout the novel as he struggles to maintain the division between his own self and that of the needs the Brotherhood recurrently demand. From the beginning of the novel, the Narrator struggles with the beliefs taught by his grandfather, social expectations, and what he personally believes, which over the course of his journey, begin to change shape through his many experiences. This struggle is an underlying cause for many of the actions he will take, such as quickly joining the Brotherhood when the chance arises in an attempt to have his voice heard. As stated by Dykema-VanderArk, "Achieving that "realization" requires the narrator to come to terms with his personal history and with his place in the larger history of America." ("Overview of Invisible Man" 1). Every action he takes is a result of a recurring event, such as his overall decline in trust and confusion...

...The main protagonist of Ralph Ellison invisible man is not the only one who remains unseen as the novel unfolds. Another element also cloaked in invisibility follows our unknown character throughout the novel, changing both beat and tempo as the novel develops. Rather like the invisible man, the ongoing musical beat that runs through out the invisible man’ may not be visible yet it is very clearly felt and heard. It is the distinct incorporation of the inflowing musical beat that allows for an interloping of ideas based upon the visible, the invisible and the creative with the novel. The main theme within the ‘invisible man’ is that of the more obvious theme of invisibility. Ellison explores through the use of music such as in the form of jazz the moments or experiences where invisibility takes control. Such breaks in visibility signify a chance for the protagonist to escape and break the mould of the what can be called ‘constitutional visibility’ allowing for the exploration of ones own identity and individuality. An individuality and identity that is not in any way restricted to what is generally accepted as visible. Our Guarantee To You No Quibble Money Back Guarantee! We are so confident in our ability to produce top level academic work that we are prepared to back it with a "No Quibble, Money Back" guarantee!

...During my three-day food intake I learned about myself. There are many benefits of good nutrition. ”Medical Online” states “besides helping you maintain a healthy weight, good nutrition is essential for the body and all its system to function optimally for a lifetime.” A healthy diet promotes good sleep, gives the body what it needs to stay healthy, and provides energy. According to “Mealtime Memo” Good nutrition means getting the calories that we need for energy and the nutrients we need for proper growth. I’m learning that variety, balance, and moderation are the key to healthy nutrition. As I am learning what I should and should not eat I will like you to invite you to take a look at my food intake. This essay will converse about my intake of protein, carbohydrates, lipids, macronutrients intake ranges, fiber intake ranges, and dietary modifications based on three full days of my food intake. After recording my dietary intake for three days through the Wiley iProfile and reviewing the reports, I have found that this provides a better scope of my eating habits and the nutritional value in each thing I eat. According to the Wiley iProfile 2.0 (2010) I am within the recommended range for protein the range is from 68-240g and I only received 69g. I am on the lower end of the range.

...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...

...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...
