Introduction Nutritional health is one of the most important aspects of every human’s life on this planet. Without proper and well-balanced nutrition, our quality of life depletes, resulting in possible sickness, health related problems, and possibly even death. In particular, many Americans are unaware and uneducated regarding their nutritional health. Numerous people are lacking the proper amount of nutrients necessary within their diet, which is leading to poor nutrition across the nation. This report will consist of an individualistic case study, which will overlook my diet over a two week time span to see if I am receiving the proper amount of nutrients to meet good nutritional requirements. This analysis report will take a look

As a final step in this experiment, we entered our data from My Fitness Pal, which then was calculated in Microsoft Excel. Carbohydrates contain 4 kcal per gram, fats 9 kcal per gram, and protein 4 kcal per gram. The total amount of carbohydrates, lipids, and carbohydrates was then multiplied by its energy density to provide the total amount of calories. Along with water intake, exercise was also factored in, which mainly involved the amount of time walking or jogging. BMI, EER, and energy balance were also taken into account by inputting our personal data, such as height, weight, and age into the provided formulas to solve for our …show more content…
The total amount of calories that were consumed over the 14 day period was 28504.9 kcal, resulting in an average of 2036.06 kcal per day. The average amount for exercise over the two weeks was 34.2 minutes. The amount of sleep averaged at about 7.25 hours. The amount of cups of water consumed averaged at a total of 2.25 cups per day. The overall amount of protein consumed was 1141 grams, which multiplied by its energy value, results in 4564 kcal, composing 16.01% of the total diet for the two week period. Following, total amount of lipids consumed was 847.3 grams, resulting in 7625.7 kcal, which makes up 26.75% of the two week case study. Lastly, total amount of carbohydrates was 4078.8 grams, resulting in 16315.2 kcal, which makes up 57.23% of the two week diet report. Our body mass index and estimated energy requirement were both also calculated by plugging our age, height, and weight into the required formulas to receive a BMI of 16.9 and an EER of 2,952 kcal. Our energy balance was calculated by taking our average calories consumed and subtracting that from our average calories burned over the two week period, leaving us with a total of 947 kcal, resulting in a positive energy balance. Lastly, our RMR used our weight, which was converted to kilograms then divided by the average kcal used for an average male, resulting in 1,416
