Colorimetric Analysis Case Study

She may be consuming the wrong type of carbohydrates or she may even be consuming too little. Also her training may be an issue and she may be under the impression the nutrition is the problem. While she is obviously seeking answers to a problem it will take more than a simple consultation with a nutritionist to create the needed adjustments. According to the case study by Aerenhouts (2011) to truly achieve significant dietary improvements and prevent the recurrence of former habits monitoring and possible greater intervention may need to take place. Yet since she has read numerous books on nutrition she may be willing to follow the instructions of nutrition professionals. “An athlete needs to be convinced of the important role that diet can have in health and Performance before dietary changes will be considered.”(Aerenhouts, 2011, p.82) Her coach is working to persuade her to do the right thing however she will need to eventually realize for herself what is best.

An adult should follow the ratio consumption of: 60% carbohydrates, 30% fat, and 10% protein. All of these are essential macronutrients for adult bodies as they are a main source of energy. However, it is important to note that the ratios may vary from person to person due to physiological demands (1). Examples of sources of protein are milk, eggs, meat, fish, and nuts. Sources of healthy fat include avocados, peanuts, and soybeans. Carbohydrate sources derive from foods such as bread, pasta, rice, and potatoes.

From my longhand calculation sheet, my protein RDA goal based on 0.8 g protein/kg body weight was 43.9 g/day, which is slightly lower than my 3-day average intake which was 45.08 g. According to these values, I am not concerned about my protein intake value because protein is not a major source of energy and it does not store in the body. As a result, for me, maintaining the similar amount of protein intake is a better choice. If the protein are over consumed, it might leads to the deficiency of nutrient-dense foods intake and increase potential risks of kidney disease and colon cancer (Hammond, 2016b). On the other hand, if we consume too less protein, the risks of malnutrition and life-threatened diseases such

The DRI states that I should consume about fifty-two grams, and I consumed about eighty-seven grams. I am a person who loves to eat red meat, fish, and cheese. I love cheese. My recommendations for proteins is going to have to be that I cut back on my portion sizes. I do not eat the recommended portion sizes for meat, I will eat the whole slab.

The protein intake that was recorded was well over the recommended or acceptable level of protein intake. My intake of protein on December 10, 2007 was 152 grams. This is almost triple the recommended daily intake of protein of only 56 grams. This was due to the fact that during the day in

The athlete I have chosen is a 22 year old city soccer player named Erika Ibarra. It is important for Erika to have a nutrition that supports her power and endurance training for soccer. It is important for her to have a well balanced source of nutrients. She needs a goof source of carbohydrates and fats to help give her the energy she needs to support her endurance work outs. She also should have a good amount of protein to repair muscles before and after her workout. Her recommended daily calorie intake is 2000 calories according to the super tracker tool. I would also recommend her taking 1 serving size of multivitamins in the morning to insure that she is getting a good source of vitamins and minerals. Below is the 24 hour meal recall for

His target for calories is 3,185 per day and he reached 1808 calories which was identified as under. According to the attached analysis, he consumed 122g of protein, 206 g of carbohydrates and 40 grams for fat which were all recognized as ok according to the analysis. For fruits and vegetables his status was considered under for both. For fruits the recommended amount was 2 ½ cups and he only consumed 2 cups and for vegetables the recommended amount was 4 cups and he only consumed 2 ½ cups. His fiber intake for that day was 18 g and the recommended amount was 38 g which was not adequate enough based on the recommendation.

A young, healthy teenage girl fell to her death after following a high-protein, low carbohydrate diet for no more than two weeks. The girl, having no identified sicknesses or medical conditions, exhibited "electrolyte imbalances" along with minimal levels of potassium and calcium, which appeared to be a result of the diet according to doctors at the University of Missouri Health Science Center. These irregularities upset the "normal electrical function of her heart" causing it to stop and her to collapse ("US teen . . ."). Based on this alone, it is evident that a high protein, low carbohydrate diet is not a safe and healthy long-term weight loss program.

The 3-days-diet from the iProfile data shows the majority of protein intake from meats, such as chicken and tuna. The data shows that protein is a nutrient in nearly every food source but is lower than four grams if it is not a meat product.

17) What is the minimum daily amount of dietary carbohydrate necessary to spare body protein from excessive breakdown?

We found that Joshua tended to eat a lot of protein. Chris ate a lot of protein too. Chris ate 94.45 grams of protein more than Joshua. With the fat it was really the opposite. Joshua and Chris ate less than the amount they were supposed to. They were lower than the usda by about 107.1 grams. Chris had eaten 7.3 grams of fat less than Joshua. With the sodium Chris and Joshua still tended to eat less than the recommended amount. They had eaten about 28.67 grams less than the usda recommended amount. Joshua had eaten 1.412 grams less than Chris. Sugar was a piece of data that's really spread out. Chris ate 89.05 grams of sugar more than the recommended. Joshua on the other hand ate 181 grams less than the recommended

Byron’s energy requirement is 8.5-9.9 MJ/day and his protein requirement is 82-102 g/day. The rational is Byron currently is febrile and is under high-dose chemotherapy, so he needs high energy and high protein intake for recovery. Also, he needs high fibre intake and adequate intake of fluid to reduce some side effects of chemotherapy such as constipation or

The RDA for protein for seniors is 12-14% of the diet.  Protein is needed to build and maintain body tissues, and these needs increase for individuals during illness and after surgery (8).  Although fat digestion decreases with age, a small amount of fat is still necessary since it is a concentrated energy source and transports vitamins.  No more than 30% of total calories should be from fat.  Carbohydrates should make up 50% of daily calories, and 25-35 grams of fiber should be eaten to prevent GI stress.  Overall, caloric needs decrease with age, generally a 10% reduction between the ages of 51-75 and up to a 15% reduction after age 75 (8).  These needs are not exact; they are dependent on both activity level and body composition.

Brown (2012), “carbohydrates and fat are the primary sources of energy, with protein contributing a minimal amount under normal conditions.”

My typical protein requirements are for: Weight loss = .65 grams per pound of body weight. Maintain muscle = .65 gram per pound of body weight. Build muscle = 1 gram per pound of body weight.
