The tracker suggested that I ate way too much meat saturated with fat and high in calories. I saw that I had a little intake of vegetables. I knew that the veggie intake would be low since I really cannot eat green leaves, corn, or even whole grain ever since I had colon surgery. What I did notice to be a big problem was even though I worked out during the week I was still consuming way too many calories in one day. My recommendations looked to be very simple to achieve until I notice that I needed to eat 9 ounces of grains daily.
The six classes on nutrients are vital to having a healthy well balanced diet. Looking at my current eating habits, it is clear that they can be improved. Using the food tracker, I have notice that my eating habits were very different for the first two days than from the third day. On the first two days, which were on week days, I did not meet most of the daily food group targets. However, I did stay under the daily calorie limit and on limit for oils, sodium and saturated fats.
Watching what you eat and knowing what is and is not healthy for you. I tried to eat salads and chicken sandwiches when I would eat out, but sometimes the dressing for the salad is more unhealthy than I realized. It is also very hard for me to not eat out because of going to school, so I am still working on solutions for that problem. Although there were not many improvements this week I still did better than last week and everyone has got to start somewhere. It is also an obstacle for me to not drink pop.
I could modify my diet only if I quit working, seriously. I can take my lunch each day and within it I would include fruits and vegetables. My health is important to me, I do exercise but exercising with not having the correct amount of nutrition intake is basically a waste of time. I am planning to start the Food Planner exercise to help me with daily nutrients I am lacking.

1-M3Unit-11 M3. Describe why the identified specific dietary needs require dietary adjustment for the two patients/service users. Malnutrition When a patient is suffering from malnutrition, he/she should have foods that are high in calories. Being a professional nurse, I would especially recommend patients to eat at least 10 times more calories food as healthy people. Because as malnutrition patients are weak and thin, the healthy high calorie food contains high amount of nutrients, vitamins and minerals.
3-Day Food Intake SCI/220 January 15, 2014 3-Day Food Intake This paper is submitted do to the experiment of my food intake based on a three day period. During the three days I was to intake and record what protein, carbohydrates and lipids that I consumed. How this compares to my dietary reference intake as well as how this can affect my lifestyle and well-being in the future. Some of the foods that were consumed during the three day period that contained larger amounts of protein were 6 inch Subway sandwich, cheese pizza, Buffalo Chicken wings, scrambled eggs and lasagna. Some of the foods that were consumed during the same time that contained larger amounts of carbohydrates are also the same ones listed in my protein intake with the addition of 12 oz.

I should have taken in about 3 cups per day of diary and only actual took in 0.3 cups. However, I took in over 60% of my
In order to raise my protein and lipid levels I would eat two chicken breasts with skin. The chicken breast would raise my protein levels and the chicken skin would raise my total fat. The protein that I am consuming in my diet is incomplete and is not complementary to the amino acids. It is important to have a complete complementary protein intake so that the body receives a proper level of the essential amino acids. Also, the limiting amino acids are kept in balance, and match the rest of the amino acids
This also means that I can automatically protect myself from various chronic diseases. Unfortunately, my reports have also revealed some weaknesses. The low percentages in Vitamin E and Vitamin D also prove that I need to consume more diary products and oils such as sunflower and canola. According to the 2, 200 calorie pattern, I lack the consumption of grains, vegetables and dairy products. As we all know, these products provide us with the required nutrients for daily living.
