Diet Analysis Part 2 To complete this assignment, you will need to enter one day of your eating into Diet & Wellness Plus. For full points show work where necessary and answer questions thoughtfully with detail. Attach required reports used to answer questions. Submit typed assignment to Kritik. Carbohydrates Part A. Total Carbohydrates 1. Using your “Profile DRI goals” report from your Diet & Wellness Plus printouts, how many total kilocalories (kcals) should you be consuming per day? 2. Next to your recommendation for total carbohydrates in italics, what percentage range of total kcals is recommended to come from carbohydrates? 3. Using this information, calculate the recommended number of grams (g) of carbohydrates you should be eating. Lower end of range: AMDR total kcals × 0.45 = kcal of carbohydrates ÷ 4 kcal/gram = grams of carbohydrates × 0.45 = kcal ÷ 4 kcal/g = g Upper end of range: × 0.65 = kcals ÷ 4 kcal/g = g 4. Compare your “Profile DRI goals” with your printed and calculated DRI range for total carbohydrates. DRI recommended range for total carbohydrates Calculated range for number of grams of carbohydrates Compare these values to determine if your diet is providing the recommended amounts (g) and recommended range of total kilocalories for carbohydrates. Part B. Fiber 5. Refer to your “Intake and DRI Goals Compared” report. How much fiber did you actually consume?

6. Does the amount you actually consumed meet your AI for fiber? 7. Look at your individual days’ “Intake Spreadsheets.” List the one food consumed each day that contains the most fiber. 8. If you answered no to Question 2, what foods could you eat more of to meet your AI for fiber? Part C. Added Sugar 9. The DRI suggests that added sugars should account for no more than 25% of the day’s total energy intake. To determine the percentage of sugar calories you actually consumed, fill in the blanks below. Use your “Intake and DRI Goals Compared” report to locate the information you need. Grams of sugar consumed × 4 kcal/g = kcal of sugar consumed (kcal from sugar) ÷ (total kcal consumed) × 100 = % of calories as sugars 10. What is your assessment of your sugar intake? 11. Looking at your individual days’ “Intake Spreadsheets,” identify the food that contributed the most sugar each day. Conclusions 12. Do you need to improve or change your overall carbohydrate intake? If so, what changes need to be made? Protein The current DRI recommendation for protein intake is 0.8 grams of protein per kilogram of body weight. However, Americans generally consume more protein than is recommended. Many people may have misconceptions about protein intake and think they need to eat a diet higher in protein than is recommended. This activity provides you with an opportunity to critically appraise your protein intake and compare it to both the RDA and the AMDR. 13. Since calculations for protein recommendations are based on body weight, start by calculating your healthy weight range and BMI range. Healthy BMI range is

Healthy weight range: (low) to (high) lb. 14. Determine a range of protein intake based on your healthy weight range. Lowest Weight (lbs) ÷ 2.2 X 0.8 = Lowest recommended protein in grams for your height Highest Weight (lbs) ÷ 2.2 X 0.8 = Highest recommended protein in grams for your height Protein intake range: g to g. 15. From your Profile DRI Goals report, indicate below how many grams of protein are recommended for you. Use the value that represents the daily requirement based on grams per kilogram of body weight (g/kg/day): g. This will fall in the range that you calculated above. 16. Using your current weight, and to reconfirm the Diet & Wellness Plus program’s calculation, solve the following equation by filling in the blanks. 1. Convert your body weight in pounds to kilograms. lb ÷ 2.2 = kg. 2. Using kilograms of body weight, calculate your daily protein requirement in grams using your RDA (g/kg/day). kg body weight × (g/kg/day) based on sex/age and life stage = g/day. 17. Another way to determine an acceptable protein intake is using the AMDR (Acceptable Macronutrient Distribution Range). To do this, find your recommended calorie intake in your DA+ program. Then multiply it by the % total energy intake recommended in the AMDRs (10–35% of total energy should come from protein).  Recommended energy intake X 0.10 = kilocalories from protein. Kilocalories from protein / 4 = grams of protein  Recommended energy intake X 0.35 = kilocalories from protein. Kilocalories from protein / 4 = grams of protein  Example: 2,000 kilocalories X 0.10 = 200 kilocalories. 200 kilocalories / 4 = 50grams of protein 2,000 kilocalories X 0.10 = 700 kilocalories. 700 kilocalories / 4 = 175grams of protein

AMDR for protein for 2,000 kilocalories is 50 to 175 grams. 18. The International Society of Sports Nutrition (ISSN) has concluded that “protein intake of 1.4 to 2.0 g/kg/day for physically active individuals is safe and could improve the training adaptation to exercise.” Assuming that you are physically active, calculate your recommended protein intake using this range of protein intakes.  Your body weight (lb) weight/2.2 = kg body weight × 1.4 g/kg/day = g protein/day.  Your body (lb) weight/2.2 = kg body weight × 2.0 g/kg/day = g protein/day. Recommended range of intake for physically active individual = to 19. How does that intake range compare with the RDA and the AMDR calculation? 20. How does your protein intake as determined in your Diet & Wellness Plus activity compare with these protein intake ranges? 21. Using the day you entered into the Diet & Wellness Plus program, find foods that contribute protein in your diet. Name of Food Standard Serving Size Grams of Protein per Serving 22. Based on your findings, use Diet and Wellness Plus to plan a diet that meets the recommended protein intake range of your choosing. Use only fruits, vegetables, dairy products, grains and meat, fish, eggs, legumes, nuts, and seeds in your meal plan. Do not include special drinks and supplements. Include your new diet plan, insert a screen shot of it below.
