To begin with the diet analysis I was afraid of what my results would be in fact I knew the results would be bad but not as bad as it was.

I always tried to do diets but they just wouldn’t work for me.

I should in fact start eating more starchy and dark green vegetables. One area I knew that I would be under is seafood I’m suppose to have an intake of ten ounces a week and my average was zero ounces. Unfortunately, I don’t like a lot of seafood but tilapia and shrimp and that’s because I just recently started to like seafood. I know I should probably eat more seafood but for this section I won’t be so hard on myself because then I would probably give

    A balanced diet that contains all the necessary nutrients will provide energy to individuals, as well as aid the regulation of body processes which is also known as homeostasis as described by Iggulden, MacDonald and Staniland (2009). As identified by Webb (2012) scientific research has allowed healthcare professionals to ensure individuals receive the correct ratio of macronutrients and micronutrients in their diets. Webb (2012) states that macronutrients include “carbohydrates, fats and protein” and are needed in higher quantities in comparison to micronutrients which include vitamins and minerals. The Eatwell guide provides individuals with further guidance regarding the types and quantities of food that is recommended by professionals, in order to maintain a healthy and balanced diet. It is endorsed by the British Heart Foundation (2016) and it states at least five portions of fruit and vegetables should be eaten per day, to make up just over a third of your food intake per day.…

    My Diet Analysis In the reports of "Actual Intakes Vs Recommended Intakes" and "Calorie Assessment", many the amount of nutrients I consumed did not reach 80 to 110 percent of the recommended level of nutrients intake. However, I set a goal that was losing one pound per week, and my calories intake reached that the recommended amount of calories intake.

    In particular, it is important to analyze my current diet, including nutritional habits, considering my own view of my body image, and becoming aware of potential risks for developing cardiovascular disease. After considering my current fitness level and formulating a plan with a reward system to get back in shape, I then analyzed my diet by keeping a food diary. Upon looking over my food diary, with the help of my Fitbit app, I was able to use lab 8.1 to analyze my calorie intake, my intake of fat, sodium, cholesterol, empty calories, and more. After the calculations were completed, I first looked at my total amount of calorie intake, based on off my age, height, sex, and activity level. With that, I was shocked to discover that I actually consumed fewer calories than what is recommended.…

    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.…
