When it comes to the areas I am doing well in, I was surprised. Grains and Saturated Fat is what I’m doing well in. That came as a surprise to me because I thought all the fats that entered my body were bad so I guess I control my saturated fats well. Grains were surprising as well because I don’t really eat all that many grains. The occasional bowl of cereal or toast but that is all.
I actually wasn’t one bit surprised with the areas that I need to improve in as it was stuff I knew I need to improve in the first place. One area was vegtables. It’s not that I have a problem with vegetables, because I don’t, but I just don’t eat them that often. Another area was fruits. I love fruit a lot. I have no problem eating fruit on a regular basis but the chart said I don’t eat enough of them which I found pretty weird. The next area is dairy. I understood why I was lacking as lactose kills my stomach so I try not to drink or eat any dairy products. At times that sucks especially right now when Dairy Queen has the Pumpkin Pie Blizzard and it’s so good but it kills my stomach in the end. The next area is oils. I don't really like oils all that much so I don’t like eating them. The last area is protein. I wasn’t surprised about the results as I don’t eat things like beef or seafood all that often. I do eat chicken, turkey, and ham but that is as far as I’ll go in protein.

To improve vegetables I need to eat more of them and more often. To improve fruits I need to eat more of them on a regular basis. To improve dairy I will need to start buying lactose free milk and drinking it more often. To improve oils I will need to find healthy oils (coconut oil, palm oil, etc.) to use instead of vegetable oil. To improve protein I will need to eat more things like turkey, ham, and chicken and eat them more
3) Based on my food guide, I would have to make slight adjustments to what I eat in general because currently, I am lacking food from the Milk and alternatives category. Therefore, I believe that I would need to consume more foods like, Yogurt and Cheese, since I don’t like the taste of milk and it also upsets my stomach. Another adjustment that I would need to make to what I eat in general is that, I should create a limit for my consumption of meat and alternatives category since it looks like I am consuming more than the recommended servings per day, which is two. Last but not least, according to my food guide, it is recommended that I have at least seven servings of fruits and vegetables, therefore, I would try to have another serving of
As I began this project I saw no purpose of keeping track of all these different things. I proceeded through the project and started to keep track of my intake, macronutrient range, fat breakdown and stage of change reports and I found it quite helpful to keep track of all those things. This project made me ensure that I was on the right path to becoming a healthy human being. I did not realize how unhealthy my eating habits were until this project made me examine that, which was a good thing. I still find it hard to maintain a strict healthy diet while being at college. Sometimes I am forced to deviate from my healthy diet, but this project helps me get back on track.
This book has proven to be an enlightening read. It both teaches and inspires. Howard Zinn has offered us a perspective of the real story of American history heretofore unavailable to us – history from the perspective of real people – immigrant laborers, American women, the working poor, factory workers, African and Native Americans.
Labor unions have been instrumental in the lives of workers throughout American history, and have led to important advances in the American workforce. Throughout history there have been patterns of exploitation of immigrant workers by businesses in order to increase profits; the Mexican migrant workers of southern California are the most recent historical group to fall into this pattern of exploitation mostly from their lack of organization. Cesar Chavez, a great organizer, and leader in fighting for farm workers’ rights was head of the United Farm Workers Union. As a Mexican-American, he would become a noticeable union leader and labor organizer who was toughened by his early years as a migrant worker who founded the National Farm Workers
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
My kilocalorie DRI recommended 1459 kilocalories but my intake was 1513.45 which isn’t to bad seeing how I like to go out and stay active. I am happy with my body weight and have maintained it for several months but I have tried to lose some weight. I do not think there is a need to increase or decrease my calorie level. It is fine where it is. However, there are a lot of junk foods that I could replace in favor of nutrient rich foods. I need to focus most on vegetables more than anything. Spinach, radishes, broccoli, are all vegetables that I dont eat and need more of.
Throughout this paper you will find that it is going to be discussing many things. Some of those things are to describe a current health problem or nutritional need that I may be experiencing, four nutritional or physical exercise goals, the actions taken to meet each goal, the anticipated setbacks or difficulties and the approaches to overcome them, the outcomes by which to measure success, evidence of the plans effectiveness by addressing the identified problem or need, and the evaluation of potential health risks that may develop if the plan is not implemented. So basically this paper is going to be about a realistic nutrition and exercise plan that best suits me.
Embrace variety: - should not base your diet mainly on just a few foods. Eating a wide variety of healthy foods, especially nutrient-dens (it’s a ratio of
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 $32 price target is derived from primarily a discounted cash flow analysis, but also confirmed with a relative comparison analysis. My price target implies a forward P/E of about 29.19x, which is slightly higher than the consensus estimate of 22.32. It also implies a forward EV/Revenues multiple of 1.6x, which is its historical multiple as well. The prospects for continued new customer growth and brand expansion (in addition to the recent acquisition of South Beach Diet) coupled with a debt-free balance sheet and improving free cash flow should allow for multiple expansions beyond the current consensus estimates.
I had no idea that what I included in my diet was so important and provided a significant impact to my wellbeing. After doing the first part of this Analysis project, I was surprised to see the many areas that I can improve on. I created 3 specific, measurable, attainable, realistic, and time-bound goals to help me improve on receiving the right amount and variety of nutrients in my diet. My goals are to drink 8 glasses of water a day, have fruits and vegetables every meal adding to a total of about 4-6 cups, and to have a different breakfast every day. For 30 days, I attempted to implement daily each of my 3 goals.
As per the ThePlate report on NCP-O, my grain intake for these 5 days was 69% which meant I was 31% short as per the recommended grain intake. I consumed 4.1 ounce equivalent per day out of the recommended 6.0 ounce equivalent per day.
Mushroom have been widely used as food and food supplements. It is an important food item concerning human health, nutrition and disease prevention. Dietary mushrooms provide a variety of medicinal properties and they are effective against certain life threatening diseases. Mushrooms are not true vegetables in the sense that it does not have any leaves therefore contain no chlorophyll, roots or seeds and really does not need any light to grow. It is a fungus which grows in dark and propagates by releasing spores. Mushrooms are found all over the world and have been a time honoured food in many cultures.
· Guidelines for good nutrition and exercise: eat a variety of foods every day to include, fresh fruits, vegetables, and whole grains. Decrease the amount of fatty, sugary foods and drinks consumed. Drink more water. Get 30-60 minutes of exercise daily.
In January, my diet proved to be moderately unhealthy. On several counts, I missed the target levels for a person of my gender and age. I took in slightly more calories than the target 1724 per day versus a target of 1600. I also ate more protein (55g versus 46g) and far more carbohydrates (256g versus 130g). My fiber intake was low (10g versus 25g). My saturated fat was 10% of total calories, whereas the target should be lower than 10%. My cholesterol was within the target range, so was one of the few things that I really did not need to change.
