Clories: A Personal Dietary Analysis

My data could be more accurate if I had used only one source for food data, and find the exact measurements for what I ate. Also, my record of fruits and vegetables may not have been accurate because I do not usually eat them alone, so they may have been in my food and I did not take account of them. On the third day, I ate Jack in the Box the whole day, which is a rare event to occur in my diet. On the weekends I am less active, but

To sum things up I have added my weekly information as far as calorie percentage for eat meal of the day with breakfast 34% (526 Cal), lunch 34% (526 Cal), Dinner, 22% (341 Cal), Early Morning Snack 4% (62 Cal) and Mid-Day Snack 6% (93 Cal). Listed is the more detail list for week one, but on average I went over by 11% Carbohydrates, was under by 7% when it came to fat and under by 4% when it came to protein. When an assessment of my fitness and because I am in the Army I have to do fitness training at least 5 times per week. During our cardio days I would do thing like Sprints, Long distance running (three to four miles), elliptical, ruck march or the stationary bike. In return during strength days we would be things circuit

There should only be about ten percent or less of calories that are from saturated fats. Referring back to my food log I can see that I exceed the value about 8%. Throughout my diet I increased the intake of green leafy foods to help balance out my diet along with mixed vegetables. One thing that I did not add on to my diet is fruit. Fruits play a major role with digestion of foods, which should have incorporated in my diet to balance it. I really need to increase my physical activity level, including both cardio and interval training. I know that the carbs that I consumed really puts on a lot of weight and makes me bloated. Also the juices that I drank were full of sugar. After reading through the book and discussion in class I have realized that I need to stay far away from food with added sugar. Moreover, I should be consuming food low in saturated fats, and has no added

For this three day diet analysis project I wanted to eat as I normally would and be honest about all that I ate, to analyze not only what and how much I was eating, but also to see how healthy my diet really is. By doing so I can see if any of my diet choices are putting me at risk for certain health diseases, and what changes can be made to make my diet healthier. After analyzing my diet, I would say I am fairly healthy, though I am out of the target range in a few areas. My profile calculated from my weight and height indicates that I have a BMI of 20.5. This is considered to be healthy; the healthy range is anywhere between 18.5-25. This was reassuring to hear because I am happy at my current weight, and

Proper nutrition is important in maintaining a long and healthy life. Most Americans are rushed due to their busy work schedules, and do not take the time to plan their diets properly. Like me, most Americans are unaware of the importance of eating a healthy diet and consume too many foods without the proper nutrients. Throughout my life I have been fortunate. I have not had any major health problems, and have been able to consume most foods without having to worry about gaining weight. These last two years, however, I started to gain weight and have become concerned with my diet. Changing my poor eating habits has been difficult for me, however, having this assignment has taught me that it is not as difficult as I previously

Nutrition, I have learned plays a big part in our life. To be honest I was clueless about how much nutrition affected our everyday lives. I love going to the gym working out, now that I know what should go into my diet I think I will see a lot more improvement. I occasionally follow the latest diet fads because I believed it would be better for my health, but in turn it really hurt more than it helped! This Diet Analysis project has been extremely useful course because I can personally relate to it and can use much of the information learned to my daily routines. The Diet Analysis project was a real eye opener because it let me see what exactly I was putting into my diet.

Learning about our diet is very important, and a diet analysis is a good way to find out how our diet is helping or affecting our organism. For instant, when we analyze our diet we find out if the nutrients in our diet met the target amount our body needs to function adequately.

My calorie intake overall was quite high equaling three thousand, two hundred and seven. My recommended intake was two thousand, four hundred and five. This wouldn’t be as much of an issue if I was getting adequate exercise to burn the excess calories and the calories I was consuming were equal to the calories I was burning. I had a recommended amount of two thousand, four hundred and five and an average intake of three thousand, two hundred and seven. My average expenditure was one thousand, seven hundred and fifty three and my average net gain was one thousand

According to my three day diet analysis it seems like my eating habits are poor. Not necessarily that I am consuming too many bad foods but I am not getting the all around nutrients that I need on a daily basis. Sometimes not eating enough. Or ot finding time to eat at all is a big issue in this. Due to my job and the lack of time I have at home it is hard for me to get the nutrients I need on a daily basis. With the target that is shown of six oz. of grains two and a half cups of vegetables, two cups of fruits, two cups of dairy and five and a half oz. of protein foods I fell short in most of the areas that were targeted for me. My biggest two areas of consumption was refined grains and protein.

My daily caloric intake was a little under my recommended daily amount. I am trying to lose weight so I tried to stay under the daily recommended amount. Though, if I had wanted to stay closer to the amount given I could've had a more substantial breakfast on both days I chose to record.

The chart shows that my activity level is zero and the targeted activity is 150 minutes . I walk 30minutes daily with a calorie burb of 102 which is considered a light intensity according to the super tracker; this does not count towards MIE minutes, although it is better than not exercising. During my week three, I changed my eating pattern after observing that my diet is not balanced, I also change my activity level to exercise 150 minutes per day and also maintained a 2200 calorie diet choosing the food that would be beneficial by using the super tracker . According to Grodner,Roth &Walkingshaw (2012), in the formula for the Body Mass Index (BMI) my height is 68 inches and my weight is 171 pounds and my BMI is 26 this indicates that I am over weight .With my height at 68 inches, my weight should be 158 pounds and my BMI should be 24 which would make me healthy.

If you don't adjust your calories to account for this, you may hit a plateau. The easy way to avoid this is to re-calculate your daily caloric target after every 15 pounds of weight loss. As you'll see, the target creeps lower and lower.

My average daily EER is 2,440 kcal. Most of my energy was utilized for exercise and sleeping. I am not surprised by my results because I consider myself to be a very active person and the one day a week that I take off happened to be during the 3 day log. Furthermore, based on my data, the program assigned my lifestyle to be low active activity. The program recommended that I need 2,171 kcal to maintain my current weight. I do not agree with the assignment of lifestyle and calories to maintain my weight. This is because during the 3 day span of the food and activity logs I had a weird schedule that is not my weekly exercise schedule. Therefore, my activity levels only somewhat reveal my actual activity levels in a given week which are
