Plate Daily Checklist

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.

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

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

I am under on this requirement by 456 since I only eat an average of 1544 calories. According to SuperTracker, I should consume 46 grams of protein daily which I exceed with 50 grams. For vitamins, I am under on some while I meet about half. I am under on vitamin A, C, D, E, and K along with Choline. Vitamin A, D, E, K and Choline is considered inadequate. In the mineral section, I am just under many including Copper, Iron, Magnesium, Phosphorus, and Zinc while my intake of Calcium and Potassium is considered to be inadequate. I meet the requirements for Sodium, Phosphorus, and Selenium. I consumed only 68% of the recommended amount for dietary fiber. Overall, I am under on many

I think the biggest factor when it comes to nutrition decisions is our upbringing. In my family, we weren’t educated about nutrition much I ate whatever

My calories per day on the Super Tracker diet plan was set at two thousand calories per day, carbohydrates in the form of vegetables and fruit I needed four and a half cups daily, protein, five and a half ounces, fats, six teaspoons per day. My diet plan actually consisted of a little more calories than I normally consume. I do not eat as much bread, normally in my diet and this diet plan recommended, three ounces per day in the form of rice, bread, pasta and cereal. I did not consume the recommended dairy plus I always seem to go well above my limit of protein. Eight ounces per week is my suggested limit, however I like to eat more protein than that. At my age, forty-seven, and being in menopause, I am encouraged to consume more calcium and vitamin D in supplement form to make up for what I am lacking in my diet. My recommended intake of calcium needs to be at least twelve hundred milligrams, vitamin D one thousand IU daily, also vitamin C (Thack, 2011). I consume too much sugar and caffeine in coffee form. The sugar I consume counts toward my daily intake of calories, but they are “empty” calories with little to no

I went over the amount of calories I should have used. My average calories a day was 2068. My empty calories were also over with an average of 483 eaten each day. My report showed I was over in the protein group, but under in the seafood I should have eaten. I was under in the dairy group and also under in the vegetable category. The report showed that I was over in the refined grains and under in the whole grains. I was over in the fruits category also. In the grains food group I averaged 4.5 ounces a day all from refined grains. The vegetable category shows I averaged only 2 cups a day, with no dark green vegetables. I averaged 5 cups of red or orange, 2 cups of beans and peas, 1.5 cups of starchy vegetables, and 4 cups of other vegetables daily. I was over in the fruit group with 2.75 cups of fruit, no fruit juice. I actually did not consume any dairy products. I was over in the protein department with 8 ounces with only 3 ounces of seafood. I was 1 teaspoon over in the oil department. (United States Department of Agriculture)

How can sociocultural influences affect one’s relationship with food? Interpersonal networks, mainstream media, and cultural standards impact cognitive development in a number of ways. Correlation between these components and a person’s attitude towards food is evident throughout a variety of studies, research, and academic texts. The presence of these constituents exacerbate disordered eating and behaviors.

This morning I had one whole-wheat toast with grape jam, an egg and 1 oz of 2% low-fat milk. I went to class and came back home to finish all of my homework assignments while eating a small tangerine. At 12 P.M., I had some homemade, sauteed shrimp with a side of brown rice and some lettuce. I began working at a dental office, so I stayed there from 1 P.M. to 6 P.M. Once I left the dental office, I snacked on a protein bar and some water because I decided to workout for 30 minutes. I finished my work out at 8 P.M. and drank a cup of milk. Dinnertime came along so I decided seafood pasta. Myfitnesspal informed me that I had reached my daily vitamin C and protein servings. My total calorie intake was approximately 1,200, which is where it suppose

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.

The purpose of this study is to determine which factors cause people to choose the food that they eat the most. We hypothesized that the reason people eat certain foods is due to a number of different reasons. The factors explored in this study were time, quickness, cost, taste, environmental factors, and convenience. The data for this study was collected by administering surveys to college students in two experimental psychology classes. Each student was given an informed consent form and survey to complete and turn back in to the researcher. The results of the study

My motives for eating the way I usually do is because of habit and my Chaldean culture. My parents influence a vast majority of my eating habits. I believe their influence is a good thing because, I was raised up eating their healthy home cooked meals and they taught me what is okay to eat and what isn’t. After using the USDA SuperTracker, I have figured out that I am not much of a healthy eater as I thought I was, but I could work on getting more of the nutrients I am lacking (Calcium, Potassium, Magnesium, Vitamin D, Vitamin E and Choline), and consume more foods from different types of macromolecules. According to the SuperTracker report, I ingested the recommended amount of carbohydrates, vegetables and protein, but I am not eating the

From my super tracker experience, I discovered that I don’t eating enough to meet my daily recommended nutrition. Mostly, my diet consists of eating soup, fruits, some diary and a few grains. Despite I am not vegetarian, I also don’t consume meat or milk for personal taste reasons. Also, I don’t like to eat much greasy food, but I do drink plenty of water and sweetened drinks. Finally, I notice that my exercise pattern is generally great as I am still cycling and running for at least 3 hours per week. However, I need to mention that I am eating around 700 calories per day, which is not enough considering that the daily intake of a woman is of 2,000 calories. Also, based on my food report, I am also not consuming enough vitamins, proteins, or minerals essential for my growth, body synthesis and fuel. Ironically, my report says that I am overconsuming saturated fats, eating an average of 12% calories from saturated fats, despite that I am undereating in other major food sources. Even though my diet may not be as healthy, it is worth mentioning that I am also consuming supplemental vitamins to help me with my daily nutrition.

I am a twenty-year-old female that I have a healthy lifestyle for a young, college girl. As much as I would like to eat healthy and exercise everyday, sometimes I just get so busy I just cannot find the time. In college there is also something you have to do or should be doing so there is barely anytime to just sit around and do nothing. I would say that overall my eating habits are not that unhealthy. My eating habits include lots of grilled foods. I am a big fan of grilled chicken and many nights I will just throw together a grilled chicken salad. I am also a big vegetable eater. I enjoy pretty much any vegetable including: butter beans, squash, boiled corn, and much more. It is not very hard for me to eat healthy meals, but the snacks are when I run into trouble. I start eating unhealthy late at night when I am up late studying. I will become tired and think I am hungry and I will eat a sweet late and night and drink caffeine when I should not do that. I am pretty consistent on exercising, unless it is finals week or I have two or three tests that week and just have to spend my free time studying. I joined a gym in Hattiesburg and that motivates me to go almost every day. I usually try to go to the gym at least five days a week and I make myself stay for at least an hour. I have drunk alcohol before, but I am not a heavy drinker. I am in a sorority so if we have a sorority functions that I will usually consume alcohol while attending them. We usually only

Quite often, I get asked what I eat in order to stay so lean. I usually give a general overview of my regular daily eating habits. Recently, I have been asked to provide more detail of what I eat by those who are struggling with weight loss. Anyone who has known me for a long time will know that being overweight has never been a problem. Actually, it was the exact opposite for many years, but I will save that tale for another day. Nowadays, I have noticed that my metabolism is not quite as fast as it used to be. Anyone who has been around me for the last few years knows that I stay extremely active, often involved in some sort of physical activity at a minimum of 5-6 days a week and often multiple times a day. Despite 4-5 days a week
