IndexIntroductionMethod/MaterialsResultsDiscussionConclusionIntroductionA healthy lifestyle (nutrition and activity) improves many basic functions of the human body. It improves cognitive processes, energy levels and even mental health. By recording my diet for three days (Sunday, Monday and Tuesday), I decided to do a food analysis because it will highlight what I need to change in my diet and daily activities to achieve a healthy lifestyle.

Get an original essay I will look at the results of my diet and compare them to the Canadian Recommended Daily Value to see what needs to be changed. I anticipate that my current lifestyle is unhealthy and needs to be changed. I believe my diet contains too many calories and not enough nutrients including calcium, water and vitamin D. I believe my activity levels are low, with my current diet, I feel I should do more activity to burn off the excess calories. Method / Materials To carry out the diet analysis I needed to record my diet for three consecutive days. Diet generally changes from weekday to weekend, so I logged one weekend day and two weekdays to be safe, as well as a more precise and accurate representation of my diet. I also recorded my activity levels for each day and the duration of each activity. These activities were then inserted into the “Nutrition Calc Plus” software. I then used Nutrition Calc Plus to generate reports on my diet and activities over the course of three days. Results Carbohydrates, fats and proteins are considered macronutrients because the body needs them in large quantities daily. These nutrients are a source of energy for the body (Stephenson, Tammy J. and Wendy Schiff. Human Nutrition: Science for Healthy Living.) In the end result, I am eating too much saturated fat (120% of the DRI), this results in many calories derived from these saturated fats (120% of the DRI). I'm also eating too much protein (100% of the DRI, 45.43g when the AMDR is 42.8g), resulting in a high calorie intake through this protein (137% of the DRI). I'm also eating too much fat (91% of the DRI, 53.4 when the AMDR is 45g per day), resulting in a high calorie intake (126%). My carb intake exceeds the AMDR by 50.1g. I don't drink enough water (30% of the DRI). Micronutrients are vitamins and minerals. The body needs few nutrients to function normally. Micronutrients are not sources of energy (Stephenson, Tammy J., and Wendy Schiff. Human Nutrition: Science for Healthy Living. )I am eating too much vitamin B1 (104% of the DRI), vitamin C (245% of the DRI), as well as sodium (89% DRI). I don't eat enough vitamin A (17% DRI), vitamin D (5% DRI), vitamin E (21% DRI), folic acid (33% DRI) and calcium (33% DRI). DiscussionMy carbohydrate and fat intake and proteins all exceed the AMDR (upper range). I could adapt my diet by reducing my meat consumption (sandwiches, bacon, sausage breakfast sandwiches). Health problems that could develop from a high intake of these macronutrients could be heart disease and type 2 diabetes (Stephenson, Tammy J., and Wendy Schiff. Human Nutrition: Science for Healthy Living.) I also need to focus on drinking more water (it will detailed in the next paragraph). Micronutrients My vitamin D level is low. Health problems that can occur due to a low value of this vitamin are diabetes, low blood pressure and osteomalacia (vitamin D deficiency. [2017, November 06). I would correct this problem by eating 3 ounces of.
