Three Day Food Intake SCI220 November, 1 2011 Three Day Food Intake My personal three day food intake average was a little over 2200 calories per day. Completing meals healthier and with lower calories will help me stay healthy and lose weight. The average calorie intake for a person my age and weight is over 3600 calories (iProfile 2.0, 2011). Eating foods low in fat and sugars will not only help me lose weight, but also make my body feel better. Compared to my previous one day food intake of 5600 calories this three day diet is noticeably better.
I can also conclude that I do not make the healthiest choices on the weekends. On Friday night I consumed an unhealthy quantity of chocolate and marshmallows, and on both Saturday and Sunday I ate only processed pizza at lunch. If these habits were continued for the rest of my life, this would be extremely unhealthy and would impact my life detrimentally. I was satisfied to observe that throughout the remainder of the week I was able to consume a balanced diet according to the Canadian Food Guide recommendation and in accordance to my high amounts of physical activity. To start off, the recommended weekly intake of milk and alternatives according to the Canadian Food Guide is approximately 24.5 servings; however, the results I have obtained throughout this week showed that my weekly intake of milk and alternatives was only 19, a difference of 5.5 servings!
For both school children and mothers, the presence of non-fast food restaurants is uncorrelated with weight outcomes. Moreover, proximity to future fast food restaurants is uncorrelated with current obesity and weight gain, conditional on current proximity to fast food. The implied effects of fast-food on caloric intake are at least one order of magnitude larger for students than for mothers, consistent with smaller travel cost for adults.

People with this disorder usually eat low calorie diet, and make starving themselves. Another type of eating disorder could be bulimia. Individual with bulimia tries to control his/her weight by binge eating and then by deliberately being sick or using laxatives and medication to help empty their bowels. These two disorders when people under eat, but there is the eating disorder when person over eat. It is called binge eating or compulsive eating.
Second, the liver turns fatty acids into ketone bodies. The liver must do this because after one week the brain begins to rely on the ketones and glucose for energy. In the last stage, which occurs once the fat reserves have depleted, proteins become the primary source of energy and the muscles quickly deplete. Once this stage has set in the starving person could return to eating a healthy diet and it would not make too much of a difference
In order to be healthier, we can get rid things like Rockstar, and buy less soda. We can also get rid of some our microwavable foods and junk foods. Even with all the junk food and microwavable foods that we have, our refrigerator is full of vegetables and food that is organic. Since my mom doesn’t work, and my dad does, we don’t really have to worry about not expecting dinner to be ready at night since she’s not really all that busy. We get a hot meal every night that my mom cooks for us, and it’s not just microwave this and that, it’s something that is prepared over the stove.
Over a three day span I consumed 53% of dairy products, 51% of meat, 50% vegetable intake, 0% of my recommended fruit intake and 51% of my grain intake. Looking at those numbers made me realize that I did not get realize that I did not eat even close to the recommended food intake from the food pyramid. Now that I have seen the numbers in front of me, I think I do really need to modify what and how much I eat. I think that if I plan out my meals for the week, I can more effectively eat within the parameters of the food pyramid. I plan to eat more nutrient-rich foods such as bananas, strawberries, apples, red beans and wheat.
Protein is in the acceptable macronutrient distribution, but the carbohydrate acceptable macronutrient is under. The total fat is way over acceptable macronutrient. I would give up most of my soda and try to cut back to one a day and try out some healthier snack food. Hopefully giving up my snacks and sodas intake would be enough to get my lipids into the recommended range. Raise my starch and eat more noodles and potatoes without the butter and salt.
Three Day Food Intake SCI/220 March 20, 2012 Dr. Don Little Three Day Food Intake After complete documentation of all my foods for three complete days I have consumed 12% of my protein intake, 54% of my carbohydrates, and 35% of my lipids. I kept within my average DRI range in all 3 categories, however, I was on the low side of my DRI scale in protein and on the high side in lipids. The foods that I consumed consisted of Chef Boyardee, pizza, Sargento cheese slices, and spaghetti, which contained my protein, Honey Nut Cheerios, coke, bananas, peas and carrots, cheesecake, and a bake potato, which contained my carbohydrates, and all of these foods contained my lipids. These foods listed did not necessarily contain a lot of protein, but once they were all consumed I did have a complete combination over a three day period. It is important to consume of your daily protein because your body begins to take away from your carbohydrates and lipids to make up for your lost protein, which can result in drowsiness or weight loss/gain, and it can also cause illness.
