Diet and Nutrition Analysis
Diet & Nutrition Analysis - FITDAY
Using the FITDAY nutritional, diet, and lifestyle program, I tracked my daily intake of food for five days. All of the food logs and the nutrition charts for each day are included as an appendix.
The Estimated Average Requirements for Dietary Reference Intakes (DRIs) for my life stage group, gender, and age were obtained from a table published by the Food and Nutrition Board of the Institute of Medicine, National Academies. The table includes DRIs for the following: Calcium, CHO, protein, vitamin A, vitamin C, vitamin D, vitamin E, thiamin, riboflavin, niacin, vitamin B6, folate, vitamin B12, copper, iodine, iron, magnesium, molybdenum, phosphorous, selenium, and zinc.
According to the reports on my food intake over a five day period, I need to increase consumption of foods that will contribute higher levels of the following to my diet: Fiber, vitamin A, vitamin C, vitamin B6, vitamin D, vitamin E, calcium, iron, niacin, and pantothentic acid (vitamin B5). I am not terribly concerned...
I don't consume much red meat, but I do eat a lot of kale and spinach, so I believe the lower iron level is not accurate for my typical diet. Also, during routine blood work for health checkups, my iron, vitamin D, and folic acid levels are fine (well within normal range). My doctor is keeping an eye on my niacin levels, in a wait and see mode. I plan to add a citrus juice with added calcium to my mid-morning or mid-afternoon pick-me-up snack -- perhaps instead of coffee or tea. With all the granola plus added chia seeds and meal-ground flax seeds, in addition to the (Wasa) crisp bread crackers I eat (2 grams of fiber in each cracker and I eat 3 to 4 at lunch instead of regular bread), and one apple each day, it is doubtful that I am actually low in fiber intake.
According to FITDAY, my lifestyle calorie intake should be roughly 1600 calories per day. From the MyPyramid food intake patterns tables, this calorie count translates into the following…

DAY ONE
Diet Analysis Project Day Food Record Having a diet does not necessarily mean a balanced diet where proteins, carbohydrate and vitamin-rich food are spread out in the individual's daily eating habits.

it's physiologically impossible. As soon as you return to your regular eating habits, the weight will return plus a lot extra (due to your metabolism slowing down). This is not a diet if you are looking to seriously lose weight and keep it off. THE AGE GROUP TARGETED and GENDER As to the target group, it's really targeted to anyone that wants to look like the rich and famous movie star
Dieting Makes People Fat The rising epidemic of obesity makes the news nearly every day: We are constantly reading or hearing about how Americans are getting heavier and heavier. This in turn subjects Americans to a range of possible other ills including increased cardiac disease, increased chance of stroke, diabetes, and arthritis. It also subjects Americans to a range of fad diets. These latter might seem to be far less pernicious

Conclusions of the Study Results of this study demonstrated an incidence of 4.3% of myocardial infarctions of the total participants seven of which resulted in death (Malaviarachchi et al., 2002). There was no relationship between high intake of iron and hemeiron and increased risk for myocardial infarction
Diet Analysis I am female, 40 years old, and I exercise frequently. My height is 5'5," and my weight is 120 lbs.
