DUE DAY 5
Before writing do the following things:
1. Get your “baseline data” with the Diet Analysis software, and print a copy of your data. You will submit your age, sex, weight, and activity level to the software program. The software will give back to you what your RDA’s are for all of the nutrients, including what your calorie needs are daily.
2. Keep records of all the food and drink that you consume for 2-3 different 24-hour time periods. Be sure to record the food, as well as how much of that food you ate. Try to make one of the days be a “good nutrition” day, and one of the days a “bad nutrition” day. Put the data for those 2-3 days into the Diet Analysis software, and print out the results for your daily nutrients - play with the software a bit. You will find that you can post the data in graph form, column form. The graphs are pretty cool.
When writing your paper, it should be from 3-5 pages long. It should also contain the following four parts:
1. Introduction - This part should contain your personal “baseline data”, including your own personal height, weight, sex, age, etc. It should also contain your own personal RDA’s for a person of your weight, age, sex, etc. Include your exercise level, as well as your weight loss goals (if any), as these may effect your RDA’s.
2. Evaluation of your diet - Take each of your two-three days of eating/drinking, and analyze them from the computer data. Compare the results here with what your daily needs are, (as you had discovered in Part I). Was your diet excellent? Above average? Average? Below average? Failing? Explain why using the data from the printouts. Be sure you put some of the graphs & charts from your Diet Analysis in your paper here. You can create your own charts or follow the directions found in blue below on how to add charts to your paper.
3. Health Concerns - Explain any possible health concerns that you would have if you continued your present diet.
4. What changes are you willing to meet in your current diet, if any? Realistically, can you make these changes?
There are some “high tech” ways to include the graphs from your results in this paper. Just put the chart on your computer screen that you wish to put in your paper, and then hold down both the “Shift” key and the “Print Screen” key at the same time. Then go to your paper, and put the blinking mouse cursor where you want to put the chart. Then press down the “Control” key and the “V” key at the same time, and VOILA……. You have a chart in your Word document! J Then save your Word document as a “.doc” file instead of an “html” file. The only time you want to use a “.doc” file in Educator is to make charts or drop in pictures.
