    We’ve heard time and time again during our lives how important it is to eat fruits and vegetables or to have a well-balanced diet. We also know how hard it can be to ensure that you are eating enough of the right thing. Are fast food restaurants as bad as people make them seem? How do you know if your diet contains all of the essential vitamins and minerals? The answers to both of these questions lie in the results from the three-day food intake assignment I participated in. Using the information I recorded in IProfile, I was able to record my intake of protein, carbohydrates and lipids, the amount of fiber intake, and notice pattern or trends in my diet that could be modified.…

    My Pyramid was not that shocking, when I saw Grains, fruits, vegetables, milk, meat, and bean intake compared to the recommendation. Personally, it made sense of what I was meeting and what I was missing, yet, have done nothing about it. I love my grains, even though I am a celiac. I do not really follow the guidelines and still chose to eat a lot of grains. This was at 10. Oz and I met the required intake for grains. The vegetables I tend to eat are broccoli, carrots, and from time to time I eat cauliflower. So, I was at 1.2 cups of vegetables compared to the recommended intake of 4.0 cups. I already knew I hardly reach the fruit intake that happened to be zero percent. I have never been a big fruit person, besides eating apples to keep the doctors away. Got milk? Of course, I always drink my milk when I eat all the grains out of the cereal bowl. Thus, I was at 1.5 cups compared to 3.0 cups of the recommended intake. Lastly, meat and beans I was at 5.5 oz and cheated, because I ate at taco bell! Overall, the above groups did not surprise me and did show me how far I still was to reaching the food-list compared to the latest USDA Dietary guidelines.…

    I know that sounds bad, but I do not consider myself to have healthy eating habits. I thought I would have had a higher percentage. I was also surprised on my total amount of calories for each day. I thought each day's total would've been higher especially Friday since I had Starbucks and a large dinner. I would like to make some changes in my diet. I have already cut out pop and I have lost about 5 pounds in the last 6 weeks. I would like to cut my sugar category down a little bit and add that percentage into proteins.…

    of protein. Day two I consumed 11 ½ oz. of grains, 2 ¼ cup of vegetables, ¼ cup of fruit, 1 ¼ of dairy and 4 ½ oz. of protein. Day three I consumed 8oz. of grains, 3 ¼ cup of vegetables, no fruit, 1 ¼ cup of dairy and 9oz. of protein. According to the three day analysis I was either under the recommended intake amount or way over the intake amount recommended for me within my plan. To modify my diet to best use the six classes of nutrients and recommended serving I will include more vegetables in my meals. Instead of eating candy and a lot of sweets I will eat fruit that is sweet to make up for the candy. I will change the way I make my salads instead of ice berg lettuce I will use dark leafy green lettuce to make my salads. I will stop drinking a lot of sodas and replaced them with 100% fruit juice or water. The six classes of nutrients are water, protein, carbohydrate, lipids (fats), vitamins and minerals. My nutrients intake affects my current health because I recently found out I have high blood pressure and I am sure my current diet plays a major role. I never thought about just how much sodium is in some of the foods I eat such as pork and I love bacon and…

    My personal Calorie goal is 1900. Food Groups and Calories Report is to fall into six main categories. They are grains, vegetables, fruits, dairy, protein and oils. From my report, the grains include the whole grains and refined grains. Compared with the target is greater than 3 ounces, I only get 1 ounce whole grains eaten. I need check the product labels for the words "whole" or "whole grain" before the grain ingredient's name and eat more products of whole grains. The refined grain is 1 ounce more than the target. The vegetables I ate are under the target. I find out I don’t intake the beans & peas which need 1.5 cups per week. In the salad, soup, side dishes add beans which is a very good fiber source. Dark green, red & orange and starchy…
