Three Days Food-Intake
Three Days Food-Intake
My daily diet should contain a balance of proteins, carbohydrates (carbs), and lipids (collectively called macronutrients). According to Kirby (2011), micronutrients are substances such as vitamins, and minerals that are essential for healthy growth and developments. The body only requires small quantities of micronutrients and without them serious problems can arise. The role of each micronutrient makes proteins, carbohydrates, and lipids equally important in my diet. Proteins are important for repair and tissue growth, helps the body to make enzymes and hormones, as well as preserve lean muscle mass and is a source of energy. Carbohydrates are the body main source of energy and are easily broken down into glucose (sugar) which is used for immediate energy. They ensure that my muscles, kidneys, brain and nervous system properly functions also. All my life I have been told that fats (lipids) were bad for my health only to find out those small amounts in my diet is important for normal body function such as the absorbing of fat soluble vitamins and promotes normal growth and development. This paper is to discuss a three day food intake of proteins, carbohydrates, and lipids.
Three day intake Boyers (2011), states that carbohydrates should provide the highest percentage of calories, or 60 percent to 65 percent. Fat intake should comprise 20 percent to 35 percent of calories with less than 10 percent of calories from saturated fat. Recommendations for protein intake range from 10 percent to 35 percent of calories. My daily recommended intake (DRI) of fats is 48-85 kcal (kilocalories) and 245-353 kcals of carbohydrates. Unfortunately, I missed the mark on these two because my total fats were short by as little as 1g for me to be in the range and carbohydrates were nowhere near my needed intake. My DRI for protein is 54-190g which I met with 60g but for those based on my body weight I was 1g over. All of the foods in my meals for these
