    Lifestyle Analysis Essay

    The Lifestyle Analysis Project has helped analyze the diet and exercise that I follow and highlighted the areas of nutrition I need to work on to maintain my personal heath. When I calculated my energy balance I found that I am in “energy equilibrium”, meaning that I take in enough calories, in accordance with exercising to burn off calories, to maintain my current body weight. However, my energy balance was 499 kcals, and after 500 kcals in excess one begins to gain weight. Since I am on the border of weight gain, to continue to keep my weight where it is now I could take in a few fewer calories or add more exercise to my daily life. My total carbohydrate intake is 52.59% of my daily calories.…

    According to nutritiondata.com, I was recommended to eat 2,369 calories a day. I did not meet my recommended calorie count on any of the three days I recorded, which means I also did not meet my estimated daily energy expenditure. I believe I did not meet my recommendations because I held a belief that 2,000 calories should be a limit to your food intake. However, in my case, the website says eating 2,369 calories a day would maintain my current weight.…

    The calculated amount is higher than my average intake of calories, because through the three days my average caloric intake was calculated to be 2,313 kcal. My caloric intake is still higher than my average expenditure (2,305 calories) which is good, because it is only higher by a relatively small amount. In the section labeled calories for the day it was calculated that my total calories for the day are below my goal, but after comparing the two numbers ( 2,522 and 2,313) I’m only under by a fairly small amount of 219 calories per day. This is probably where I should be though, because I believe I fall in between what they would consider to be active and sedentary. My carbohydrates intake is also below the goal, but this was suggested in the calorie and fat report, because my AMDR for carbohydrates was at the lower end of the scale.…

    For the Nutrition tracker, I decided to use the website My Fitness Pal. I used this site because I have already been using it to track my consumption for the last few weeks as I try to increase my overall health. In my opinion, my diet this week was very disappointing with respect to my diet goals. My diet was severely lacking with respect to its completeness. For the most part I had no real fruits or vegetables, the only consumption of those food groups came as a topping on my burger or other main entrees.…

    The food log I recorded on the first day was typical except for the fact that I had a muffin top and a chocolate, I don't usually have a muffin top for breakfast nor do I usually have a chocolate. On the second day my lunch was not typical because I went out with my friend, but other than lunch, my breakfast, dinner and snacks were typical. On the first day I went over my recommended calorie consumption by 371 calories but for having 2.5 hours of rowing that day I think that I didn’t eat to many calories compared to all of the calories I burned. On the second day I went under my recommended calorie consumption by 626 calories. On the first day my outlier was the chili I ate for dinner, it was 777 calories.…

    Nutrition An unknown author once stated, “The greatest wealth is Health.” When coming into this class I didn’t know much about health and the importance of physical exercise. The influences I have when I make my personal food choices are eating what I want but counting calories to make sure I’m not over the daily calorie intake. I try to make wise food choices but sometimes I get distracted when my friends or boyfriend want to go out to eat and I end up falling into a whole menu full of fat foods.…
