My next goal as mentioned was to improve my intake of Calcium. I was diagnosed with Graves Disease and recently within the last year have had my thyroid removed. With my thyroid removed I have been informed by my Dr. to increase my calcium intake.

Not only am I increasing my levels by 500mg, but the yogurt itself is consumed with Calcium. By adding the supplement my actual intake vs recommended intake increased for the one diet.

    3 Day Diet Analysis

    How does your diet compare to the recommendations you received from the Food Guide Pyramid? I just recently decided that I was going to start eating healthier. I am not on a diet! That is just too much stress. However, I have made quite a bit of progress with changing how I eat. The recommendation that I got were not that off of what I’m trying to accomplish. I need to eat more fruit and vegetables. I have been doing well with the grain and fiber intake. I need to do better with my sodium intake, which is still a little high, but is much lower than what I used to consume.…

    3-Day Average Food Group Report: Whole Grains

    → According to my 3-Day Average Food Groups report, I consumed no whole grains. MyPlate recommends eating minimum of three grains of whole grains daily, and it is recommended that people of my gender and age eat six ounces per day. I could increase my whole grain intake by eating whole grain cereal (when I do eat them) and using whole grain types when I am cooking pasta or rice. Some obstacles for achieving this goal includes time and money. As a student I lack time to make a trip to the grocery store (especially with the lack of a car) and time to actually cook. Other obstacle includes money—healthy products often cost more, which influences my decision to buy. Furthermore, since my intake of food is limited per day, I tend to choose…

It produces enzymes, hormones, and other substances the body uses. It regulates body processes, such as water balancing, transporting nutrients, and making muscles contract. Protein keeps the body healthy by resisting diseases that are common to malnourished people. Protein also prevents one from becoming easily fatigued by producing stamina and energy” (Georgetown University, 2013). Over the last three days Iprofile was…

    Three-Day Diet Analysis

    I am not a picky eater or one who watches what I eat. I enjoy cooking and I love to eat food that is bad for me. My favorite meal is fried pork chops, mashed potatoes with gravy, corn, turnip greens and corn bread. I am from the south where we use food as a comfort item. When we are happy, sad, mad or just board we eat. We have festivals to celebrate the food we eat. My diet is way off the SuperTrackers recommendations. I eat mainly one meal a day sometimes two. I do not eat a lot of fresh fruits. I need to stop drinking so many soft drinks and I should take out the sugar in my tea. I consumed little to no fresh fruits on a daily basis. I eat a lot of protein, but still not what I should eat daily I only ate around 40% of what I should have. One thing I should do is eat more of the good foods and do less snacking during the day. I am going to make myself a promise to eat at least one fresh fruit a day. I went and bought strawberries and cantaloupe so I can eat a little better. I know this is only a small fix and will only work if I stick to it. I can start to measure my food portions so I do not over eat. This will help me watch the amount of fats and starches that I take in. I love broccoli and could eat more of it, it is full of fiber and nutrients that are good for me.…

The web-based nutrient report that the college student used to record his meals was from MyPlate. “MyPlate is the current nutrition guide published by the United States Department of Agriculture, depicting a place setting with a plate and glass divided into five food groups.[1] It replaced the USDA 's MyPyramid guide on June 2, 2011, ending 19 years of USDA food pyramid diagrams.[2] MyPlate will be displayed on food packaging and used in nutrition education in the United States”("MyPlate," 2011, p. 1).
