Diet Analysis Power Point Project

Diet Analysis Power Point Project
My Plate Project is an opportunity to learn more about your own eating patterns and identify gaps in food groups, which can impact your nutritional health. This project requires you to use the information in the course, public access tools for measuring dietary intake, and other reliable sources of health information to create a personal assessment.

On the Food Intake Record form, you will record everything you eat for 3 days.

You have to generate a meal plan checklist using the Choose My Plate tool, and analyze your meal plan.

You will then, in essay form, write a summary and analysis of your diet intake.

· Identifying the areas of strength and areas of weakness.

· You will also address what you should do to improve your intake to make a more complete and nutritionally balanced diet.

· If there are unique reasons for large gaps or overages, you should explain that.

INSTRUCTIONS:

Step 1: Complete 3 days of food intake records. This record will include all that you eat and drink during the 3 days (Use Form for the Food Intake Record attached). How food is prepared is also important to make note of.

Step 4: Project Summary This is what you will turn in!!

Prepare all project information into POWER POINT (>10 >20 SLIDES) Final PowerPoint projects should be the complete assessment of your personal dietary habits after collecting detailed data.

Students are expected to put some personal insight into the final presentation and submit a complete, written project consistent with college-level work. This includes proper citation of references, proper grammar, correct spelling, and APA format style. Projects submitted after the publish due date and time will not be accepted, per the Course Syllabus.

Project report will contain the following sections:

A. Introduction

B. Food intake record (3)

C. My Plate Plan

D. Discussion

E. References

Narrative Discussion:

Answer the following questions in essay format. Include references; consider grammar, spelling and collegiate writing conventions.

1. Discuss reasons your intake exceeds, meets or is below your target. Make suggestions where changes could be made in order to meet your target amounts.

2. We you surprised at how many (or how few) calories were in something that you ate?

3. Do you have any new goals as a result of completing this assessment?

Example: My intake of fruits exceeded my target goals. I met my goal at breakfast, but I continued to eat fruit all day. Even though fruits provide good sources of vitamins and minerals, exceeding my goal every day could lead to extra calories which could result in weight gain. I was surprised to find out that the bagel, which I love, had four servings of grain! I will switch Tomas bagels which I can buy at Publix, and only have 2 servings of grain, therefore half the calories.

4. Name at least one nutrient from each food group that you could be at risk if you do not meet (or if you exceed) the recommended amounts.

Example: for the three days, I ate an average of one serving of vegetable. My intake should be 3-5 servings. Vegetables are good sources of many vitamins and minerals. If I continue to be below my target intake, I might not, for example, meet my requirement for Potassium. Potassium is necessary to help control blood pressure, and is necessary for bone health along with other important functions (Nutrition and You pg. ).

I could not believe that I ate an average of 10 ounces of meat (protein) per day!! If I continue down this path.

5. Offer any other personal insights and learning experience you had from this project

My Plate Meal Plans: provide your completed reports and work to assess your intake

Physical Activity Assessment: Rate your activity level as sedentary, moderate or active. How did you do?

1. Review the content from MyPlate.gov https://www.choosemyplate.gov/physical-activity-basics

2. Refer to the chapters in your textbook on Energy Balance, Weight Management and Fitness to assist your written analysis of your physical activity. Use citations from your text to validate your responses.

3. Identify one practical and realistic goal for making improvements.

My Wins

References:

List in proper citation style any additional references you used to enhance your discussion. At least 2 references are required for minimum criteria. The course textbook may be one, if specific pages are noted for the information you use in discussion.
