Had I added some foods with grain, I may have been closer to the recommendations.

What are the sources of niacin in your day's meals?
My cereal had the most niacin in it at approximately 10.9 mg per 200 calories. The pastrami in my lunch sandwich was also a contributor to the niacin levels at approximately 10.7 mg per 200 calories.
L.
What about Vitamin C? What percentage of your daily need of Vitamin C did your meals provide? Which individual foods were the main contributors? To what food groups do they belong?
My Vitamin C levels were not very good, and were somewhat reflective of my poor vitamin and nutrient intake. My recordings showed that I was roughly 20% off from the recommended amounts. The main food contributors in my intake that did help my recommendation levels were in the orange soda, which was a junk food category, and the apple slices, which are in the fruit and vegetable group.
M.
How did your total energy intake compare with your energy recommendation? Is this consistent with your nutritional goals?
My lack of meats high in protein was essentially the main factor that contributed to my failure in meeting the recommended levels of energy. Though the depletion of fats through this helped to parallel my nutritional goals, it did not suffice for energy intake requirements for my nutritional goals.
N.
Which of your foods are "vitamin bargains"? Those would be foods which are vitamin-dense, providing the most vitamins for the fewest calories.
The only foods that matched up to the definitions of "vitamin bargains" were in the low levels of fruit that I consumed and my breakfast cereal. These were apple slices and Raisin Bran.

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. The first day's diet for 28th January 2013 is therefore highlighted below. Breakfast (7.00am): egg tbsp. canola oil margarine 1/2 apple sliced piece whole-grain bread cups green tea Lunch (12.30pm): tuna sandwich on whole-grain bread w/lettuce and tomato and 1 tbsp. low-fat mayonnaise 1/2 cup baked chips glass juice Snack (3.00pm): whole orange
This put me far short of the mark. The matter is complicated by the fact that foods only list whole proteins in the nutrition facts. In third world countries where food is scarce and meat is at a premium, the primary fare is rice and beans, which combine to form a complete protein. The primary failing of the food pyramid is that the USDA was under pressure to communicate simply to
Diet Analysis I am female, 40 years old, and I exercise frequently. My height is 5'5," and my weight is 120 lbs. I undertook the dietary analysis for two days in order to gain more insight into my diet. The diet recorded is indicative of my normal eating habits, and reflects my active lifestyle in its composition. The total number of calories for the two days was 2088. The total number of
Colon Health Statement of the theme risk factors prevention Diet Exercise Dietary supplementation No one really wants to talk about the subject of their colons. We all started out life with one, most of ours are working very well as we sit here today. But though speaking about the colon seems to be dirty or disagreeable, it is very important that we all pay attention to the colon. Colorectal cancer is the second most common cancer death
Diet Assessment My nutrient report reveals a number of different things. The first thing that is interesting is that the three day period for which I tracked my diet was perhaps not indicative of my normal consumption levels. I was traveling to hang out with friends and as a result, I ate more junk food, exercised less and drank more than I usually would. I was actually surprised when entering the
For obese individuals on the Atkins diet, a moderate exercise program that allows the body to burn fat rather than glycogen can be beneficial, since they would be able to exercise longer. For trained athletes, a higher level of exercise at a longer duration is possible, since the body's threshold for the change to using glycogen as ATP is higher. Thus, our results that obese individuals on that Atkins diet
