Personal Action Plan for Nutrition and Diet

I have learned a lot from this two-day diet analysis assignment. In my two day assessment, I recorded my food intake, quantities, drinks, snacks, condiments, where and who I was with during the meal, the time of day, and the amount of time I spent eating. I was able to analyze my diet to examine what I was eating and what types of nutrients I was getting. I then compared all aspects with my recommended levels of nutrients for my dietary recommended intake. I learned that my eating habits are not the best and could lead to serious health problems in the future that may be detrimental.

The purpose of this assignment is to increase self-awareness of the student by analyzing personal nutritional intake and activity routine throughout the course. In turn, the student will be able to help others modify their diet and activity, and improve overall wellness. An examination of a personal food and activity assessment will provide the student with essential data from which to change their health and wellness behaviors.

Throughout this paper you will find that it is going to be discussing many things. Some of those things are to describe a current health problem or nutritional need that I may be experiencing, four nutritional or physical exercise goals, the actions taken to meet each goal, the anticipated setbacks or difficulties and the approaches to overcome them, the outcomes by which to measure success, evidence of the plans effectiveness by addressing the identified problem or need, and the evaluation of potential health risks that may develop if the plan is not implemented. So basically this paper is going to be about a realistic nutrition and exercise plan that best suits me.

There were a number of the things about the individual’s diet that I noticed firstly she doesn’t like change as she is consistent with each food she eats which is not necessarily a bad but in order for her to have a balanced diet she needs to eat a variety of foods.

How can anyone have a deficiency? Despite advances in vitamin research over the last century, millions of people around the globe still suffer from vitamin deficiency diseases. In the United States, the plentiful and

For this three day diet analysis project I wanted to eat as I normally would and be honest about all that I ate, to analyze not only what and how much I was eating, but also to see how healthy my diet really is. By doing so I can see if any of my diet choices are putting me at risk for certain health diseases, and what changes can be made to make my diet healthier. After analyzing my diet, I would say I am fairly healthy, though I am out of the target range in a few areas. My profile calculated from my weight and height indicates that I have a BMI of 20.5. This is considered to be healthy; the healthy range is anywhere between 18.5-25. This was reassuring to hear because I am happy at my current weight, and

The overall quality of my diet was extremely poor. Although I was able to stay below my recommended 2200 Calorie consumption both days; the amount of fat, saturated fat, protein, carbohydrates, cholesterol, and sodium exceeded my desired range. I have never taken the amount of cholesterol I ingest into thought because I considered cholesterol an elderly problem. The act of recording all I consumed in a single day informed me of eating problems I have and was formerly unaware of. Another piece of information my food log revealed was, the quality of food I chose when

For my analysis, I choose to track april seventh through april ninth. There was no particular reason why I picked these days over others, and on a whole they were relatively normal. However, it was at almost the end of spring break, and as I spent it with friends I found myself eating slightly unhealthier than usual. Using SuperTracker.gov, I set my calorie limit as a flexible 1,600 calorie intake that is recommended for a seventeen year old standing at five feet three inches, and weighing around a hundred and twenty pounds. My activity levels vary with my schedule, but on the whole I try to keep a steady exercise routine every few days. Counting calories is new for me, and as I tracked my calorie intake throughout those three days, I

Two-hundred overweight/obese individuals will be subjected to my evaluation plan. Upon completion of the nutrition 2-hour workshops and questionnaire about current eating habits, participants will be randomly placed into either the breakfast eating group or the non-breakfast eating group. This randomization will occur via computer programing. Participants will then be measured for weight and height via balance beam and scale stadiometer. Body mass index will be measured via XA model Lunar DPX-IQ. A plastic- flexible tape measure will be used to measure hip circumference.

As for my current fitness and nutritional habits they are improved than they were a few months past. I use to eat on the go, never work-out and essentially do what was quick, easy, and

Why would you be concerned about having an inadequate intake of these nutrients? Vitamin: riboflavin intake was 65 %. Recommended intake by DRI is 1.10 mg and only took 0.72 mg. Riboflavin deficiency can cause weakness, throat swelling, skin cracking, and anemia. Also cause vision or eye problems. Mineral: calcium intake was 35 %. Recommended intake by DRI is 1000.00 mg and only took 346.80 mg. Calcium deficiency can cause hypocalcemia, confusion, muscle spasms, numbness, and easy fracturing of the bones.

It’s been a stressful journey figuring out my future plans. I’ve spent the last couple years toying with different ideas of where I might be later in life. I decided I wanted to study nutrition my junior year of high school. I watched the documentary Forks over Knives and realized if I don’t change my lifestyle and eating habits now, then when would I? I began watching what I put into my body. I first cut out soft drinks and fast food. Then I slowly cut out meat products. It wasn’t long before I noticed a difference in my energy levels and weight loss. While making these changes in my life, I began reading books on vegan/vegetarianism and keeping up with health-related documentaries (The Gerson Miracle, The Beautiful Truth, Killer At Large; just to name a few). I

In my brief time, that I have had in mr. Rudich PED 116 class. I have grown to learn a few things about myself, and my health and what I can do to improve it. First, starting with nutrition I have learned about the different types of fats, what foods are necessary to for our body and which ones to avoided. I have also redefined what a portion and serving sizes are. When the class participated in the diet analyst assignment and we recorded our eating habits for three days I believed before doing the assignment, that my diet and lifestyle were acceptable, but what I learned was quite the opposite. I learned that majority of consumption included high quantities of fat, protein, and carbohydrates at unhealthy levels. Since then,

Deficiencies can include nutrients such as vitamin D, iodine, magnesium, phosphorus, silicon, mitochondria support (coenzyme Q10, l-carnitine, d-ribose), and even sometimes bioidentical hormones such as thyroid, estrogen, progesterone and testosterone. Barriers that may need to be addressed include heavy metal exposure, consumption of chlorinated drinking water, unhealthy diet/gluten sensitivity, lack of exercise and cigarette

As an enthusiastic participator in various sports, the science of how diet and nutrition can complement performance has always interested me. Friends with conditions such as IBS and diabetes made me consider how they had been diagnosed and treated in terms of their diet. A chance meeting with a Dietician introduced me to the profession for the first time. Researching the role fascinated me; a career to use my passion to support others improve their wellbeing through diet and nutrition. Consequently, via adult education classes in Human Biology and Chemistry, I gained the necessary A-Level qualifications to apply specifically for Dietetics, and the scientific knowledge base to build towards becoming a competent Healthcare Professional.
