Is weight management truly all about energy balance? Is it possible for one to lose weight while consuming more Calories than one mobilize? Blogger Greg McLean presents a logical sequence consistent with the first law of thermodynamics to illustrate that there is better science to weight management.

Knowledge of Nutrition is essential to prevent maternal and infant malnutrition and mortality. To share some knowledge I have gained, I have shared here my and my friend's class seminar on the topic 'Nutrition for Pregnant and Lactating Women'
A discourse the ideal feeding practices from pregnancy to infancy with a closer look into malnutrition, breastfeeding, complementary feeding and related interventions.
Obesity is a complex disease involving an excessive amount of body fat. Obesity isn't just a cosmetic concern. It is a medical problem that increases your risk of other diseases and health problems, such as heart disease, diabetes, high blood pressure and certain cancers.
There are many reasons why some people have difficulty avoiding obesity. Usually, obesity results from a combination of inherited factors, combined with the environment and personal diet and exercise choices.
The "Nutrition Basics: Macronutrients" lesson will introduce and explain the three most calorie-dense foods-- fats, proteins, and carbohydrates. You will get an understanding of what most foods are made of and why they are important.
Basic Nutrition gives an overview of the classification of nutrients and the deficiency diseases one can develop if unable to take a balanced diet.
The knowledge can be used to promote healthy nutritional practices in the community and participate in prevention of nutrition related illnesses in adults, children, adolescents, the sick and the , elderly

It is very vital to have a good nutrition since I maintain good health since it helps me maintain a healthy weight. Observing good diet has a lot of benefits to me ranging from reducing risks of high blood pressure, chronic diseases such as diabetes, some cancers, heart diseases, stroke among others. This is why it’s prudent to observe my daily choices of food since it will ultimately have a significant difference in my health. In this case, I have decided to observe my diet by daily consumption of the salmon. The latter is peach/ pink fatty fish which has flaky consistency. This type of fish has unsaturated fats and vital protein. It contains low mercury and it is recommended to eat salmon 14 times in our week, roughly twice in a day. The fish also contain omega 3 (CDC, 2017).
I work very hard to very to ensure that I eat salmon fish a minimum of 10 times a week even though is below the recommended intake level and I am planning to have this increase to 14 times a week. I have also had the opportunity to work in my mom’s hotel called the Kempinski which is a four-star hotel. Therefore, I ensure I eat it in every meal to compensate the times I am in school and rarely had it twice a day (Sprague, 2015). Recommended intake level of what exactly? Need to be specific.
In many instances, I live with my mom who is a nutritionist and always emphasizes on a healthy diet. She has helped me with a great deal to observe my diet and assists me to be conscious of my food intake decision. Actually, she is against the consumption of high level of calories which she always tells me is the highest leading source of obesity. (Need to find a reference for this and cite it). The latter leads to chances of having cardiovascular. The latter is attributed to 25% of total death in America. Obesity also leads to one having low esteems and also leads to emotional disorder according to psychologists (Mozaffarian, 2015). I am 24 years of age and this is the age that one needs a lot of food consumption since he or she is highly active (need to cite this). I do a lot of work such as school work and, I used to have a part-time job. This calls me to eat well-balanced food to maintain my food health which will help me carry all dozens of activities. At this age too, one is vulnerable to being overweight or being an obesity since approximately 40% of adults and children are affected by the problem of obesity or overweight (need to cite this). I also ensure that I do not have a lot of calories consumption which I ensure it stands at an average of 1620 and an upper limit of 1800 in a four day (need to cite this). This has helped me maintain good weight which is at between 160 and 196lbls based on my height which is 6’0’’. Thus, has helped me observe a good life.
During the daytime, I take my lunch in a hotel or in the school cafeteria and in this case, I don’t have an opportunity t ...
Nutrition Project

By:
The reason for choosing the Nutrition Project was because I have become overweight in the last couple of years and it seems to be affecting my Health. For the most part many of us know that in our Hispanic culture males tend to have complications in the following areas Diabetes, Heart disease, and High Cholesterol, with this project I plan on focusing on a healthy life style with the help of exercise and tracking what I consume.
To kick start my way and get my motivation going I watched a movie called Fat, Sick, and nearly Dead by Joe Cross. In 2011 Joe released his documentary about his personal transformation from a life of overindulgence and illness to a happy, healthy, vital state of being, all through the consumption of fruits and vegetables. When I saw how he could reboot his life through plant-based diet I too wanted to try it and follow what he had set off throughout millions of others around the world. Although, I had questions about how a plant could possible provide you with all the nutrition and protein needed to survive I decided to take it to the test. (Well I am taking a biology class right?) If you have not seen this movie I recommend it for you.
During the weeks I was not juicing I ate a normal 3 meals a day, with 2 snacks routine. To get a better understanding of what I was doing I used the Healthy Body Calculation cite which was able to provide me with correct information and a guide to what I needed in order to loose my weight. According to it as per my age 35, male, height 5’6, weight 228lbs I am consider overweight. The proper healthy body weight range is: 114 to 154lbs. As per my BMI 36.9 I am consider to be Obese Class II and am at risk of chronic disease, which included: type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease, high blood pressure, stroke and cancer. My BMI should be between 18.5-25 to be considered free from any healthy problems. After obtaining the information on my BMI I developed a chart:

With this chart you have a better understanding on how my BMI changes with my weight as the time goes by. As far as my Nutrition Facts the calories, proteins, fat and carbohydrate that are customized for my body are 1200 calories per day. Which of course, I know that I consume more than that in one-day.
At the beginning of the semester we were asked to gather information on ourselves in regards to our weight, measurement, food intake, and of course what fitness program we were planning on using. The table below provides you with detailed measurements of my mid-section, and upper torso area. I have provided you with three different time frames so that you can see the transformation from the beginning to the end.

Diet Analysis Project Using the
USDA SuperTracker
1. Log into the SuperTracker program:
https://www.supertracker.usda.gov/default.aspx
a. Start by creating a profile, which includes entering your age, height, weight, activity level etc. and register your profile.
2. Record your food intake for 7 days. It’s best to enter your food daily but you can keep a log of everything that you eat and enter all your food at one time by clicking on the calendar and selecting the correct days. Try to be as accurate as possible. You might want to measure your favorite bowl or glass to see how much it holds. When you are logging foods, be as specific as you can.
a. For example: turkey sandwich – 3oz turkey, 1 tea. mayonnaise, 1 tea. mustard, 1 slice tomato, 1 lettuce leaf, 2 slices of whole wheat bread. If you don’t want to log individual food items, you can pick a prepared/processed choice but your results will not be as accurate.
b. If you eat homemade meals, do the best you can. You might need to enter each ingredient individually. The program allows you to create recipes or typical meals that you can name and use to make entering food easier. If you create recipes and eat then consistently, please include the recipe so I can see what you are eating.
c. Please do not enter your vitamin supplement into the program. The goal is to see how your food choices stack up. If you consume protein powder supplements, try running your program with and without the supplement to see the impact that it has on your diet. Again, the goal is to see how your food intake impacts your required nutrients. A vitamin supplement can make a poor diet look great.
d. Please note that this program will not have every brand of a particular processed food. You may need to select a product that is closest to what you would normally consume.
Print the following reports as seven-day averages. You can do this by selecting date ranges from the calendar on the webpage under reports. (Examples are found at the end of this document):
a. Meal Summary Report – 7 pts.
b. Food Groups & Calories Report- 2 pts.
c. Nutrients Report – 2 pts.
3. Looking over your 7-day reports (Food Groups and Calories and Nutrient Report), please highlight the following (this means using a highlighter marker). 4 pts.
a. Any nutrient category that has an under status on the Nutrient Report and the Food Groups and Calories report.
b. The following nutrients that are have anover status, which might increase your risk of disease or other health issue.
c. Nutrient groups (carbs, fats, protein) that are not within recommended ranges. This is on the Nutrients report page and will show as over or under if not in range
d. Food groups on the Food Groups and Calories report that are low for any category. These will also be marked with an under status. The Food Groups includes grains, fruit, vegetables, dairy, protein and oils. Some of these categories give more specific information such as different co.

Dietary Assessment Part 2: Observations
Recording your intake/completing the 3-Day Diet Record: What was it like to record all food and beverages
for 3 days? Easier or harder than you anticipated? Meals prepared and eaten at home vs. away? Measures
and weights? Did you carry the diet record with you throughout the day/night? What was it like to see your
food and beverage consumption in print?
Completing the 3-Day Diet Record was slightly more difficult then I had anticipated. I realized that I was out
and about doing things throughout the day and did not always have my record near me to record what I had
been eating. Because of this, I did have to do some of the recall from memory, which made it hard to know
exact amounts that I had eaten. I also had trouble recording the little items. For example, when I would take a
sip of something to drink or just take a “handful” of something for a snack, I often forgot to write it down. I
also had dinner that was made for me one night, which made things very difficult to measure out and there
was a little bit of guessing involved. For example, one of the nights for dinner I had a quinoa mix, and I
needed to record everything that was involved with it. However, I was not the one who made it so I had to
rely on the person who had made it and use estimates for what I had actually consumed. I noticed that it was
also very time consuming to measure out all of the food. The first day, I was excited to do it and become
more motivated to measure and record exactly what I was having. Then, as I became busier the next two
days, this motivation dropped. I did realize that I was more conscious of what I was eating when I was
writing things down and viewing everything. I can see why this could lead to some inaccuracies that might
not record a reliable average for someone’s food consumption.
Conducting the interview: How thorough was your client’s record? Elaborate on what it was like to conduct
the interview on a peer /someone you know who is also in a health field? Do you anticipate their record was
valid? Reliable?
My clients record was relatively thorough. She is used to keeping a food record through a cell phone app,
which made it slightly easier on me to go through everything. The one thing that I had to double check with
her however was her fluid intake. She forgot to mention anything she had drank that day so I had to go back
through with her and figure out what she had. It made it easy that she had only had water to drink, but
estimating the amount became a little more difficult and we had to use some water bottles in order to come
up with an accurate amount. I liked that I was conducting this interview on someone else in the health field. I
was worried at first I would overlook a few things or miss some items I should be asking about, so if I did
that then my client was able to help me out. I do think that her record was both valid and reliable as well. She
was very good at tracking her meals and using correct measurements for each food item. She was also good
at listing what she used to cook with a few times. The only concern I would have had would be with the
Chipotle bowl she had consumed. In order to come up with valid measurements, we had to look at the
website and use their estimated normal amounts for each bowl1
.
Entering and analyzing your classmate’s 3-day diet record: Were all foods available in the program? Did
you need to use professional judgment or interpretation to align with available foods? Effectiveness of
software program? Was it user-friendly? Easy to interpret?

US/menu/nutrition_calculator/nutrition_calculator.aspx. Accessed February 17, 2015.
4. Analyzing the 3-Day Diet record was one of the more difficult parts of this project. I think that
NutritionCalcPlus is an excellent program and gives good information regarding food intake. But, it is a little
hard to find all of the specific foods listed. My client had foods that had special brands, like Kirtland, that
were not available in the program. Surprisingly, there was not any Kroger brands either that I could find.
This made it slightly more difficult because, yes, there are food items that closely matched it but I was not
sure which ones. I definitely had to use my best judgments on the eggs and some of the vegetables. Since
these food items are still very basic, I went for the USDA listed brands, as they closely matched that of the
eggs found in the brands my client had listed2
. I also had a lot of trouble marking down what she had eaten at
Chipotle. I did notice that NutritionCalcPlus had some foods from restaurants, but I think it would be great if
they had a few more. I had to look up some of the ingredients that were in the certain food items that came
with the bowl my client ordered, and to the best of my ability, matched them with certain items already listed
in the database. Other then that, I did think the results were easy to interpret and overall, it is a user-friendly
program.
Challenges: Did you need to make any adjustments to MyPlate recommendations based on an activity level?
If supplements were consumed, how did you handle this? Other logistics and/or challenges not mentioned in
one of the other reflection areas?
I did have some challenges regarding the recommendations. I contemplated hard whether or not I should
have changed the recommendations that were given. My client did get slightly over the 30 minutes of
recommended activity, but there are a lot of food items she is deficient in, so I made the decision not to make
any changes to the recommendations. On days she lifts weights, she is expending roughly 130-150 calories,
which I think is appropriately accounted for in these recommendations. I went off of the recommendations
that were listed for the 2400 calorie plan due to the fact that her DRI recommended somewhere around this
amount. My client did not take any supplements, which meant that everything she was taking in was coming
from her food. She did a good job at meeting many of her micronutrient needs but there are some that still
should have been increased. The most challenging part of this whole project is making the recommendations.
I can give an opinion but I definitely would like to increase my knowledge on these subjects to more
accurately give food intake advice to clients.
Dietary recommendations to client based on results. Discuss any changes you made to MyPlate
recommendations and why in addition to reflecting on their 3-day diet record intake average. Make
comparisons between the two for each food group/row of the chart. What are they doing well? Areas for
improvement? How to achieve, etc.
I did not end up making any changes to the existing recommendations from MyPlate for this client. I think it
is important to at least be hitting all of these goals, and for macronutrients, my client is doing fairly well.
However, she is very below her recommendations regarding fruit, vegetables, grains, dairy and overall
calorie consumption. Here are some of the observations and recommendations that I would make for each
group:
Protein: My client is easily meeting and exceeding her recommended protein requirements. I understand that
I am not an expert in deciding what is best for my client protein wise, but I do not think that exceeding this
2

nutrition/nutritional-benefits-eb-eggs/ . Accessed February 17, 2015.
5. amount is doing any harm. I think protein is one of the most important macronutrients to achieve and I have
been told that requirements can range anywhere from 0.5g to 1g per pound of body weight3
.
Carbohydrate/Grains: My client is well under her carbohydrate goal, which I would recommend to her to
increase. I would recommend that she includes more whole grains in her diet that will provide these
carbohydrates and well as allow her to meet her recommended grains goal. Some food items I might suggest
would be maybe trying to incorporate a brown rice or whole-wheat pasta dish.
Fruits and Vegetables: These categories are definitely something that my client needs to increase. She is not
meeting her recommended needs, especially for fruits. For this, I would recommend maybe trying to add a
piece of fruit at all of her larger meals, or possibly even as a snack item. This would also increase her overall
caloric intake. If this is not able to be met due to fullness, time constraints, etc.. I would recommend trying a
100% fruit juice drink, or possibly some sort of smoothie. For vegetables, increasing the amount that she has
been eating at every meal might help. Also combining some with other foods could help increase her
amount. For example, mixing a vegetable of choice with the tuna she eats could be an option. Salads and
some fruit drinks/smoothies can also increase your vegetable intake.
Dairy: My client also needs to increase her dairy intake. It is shown in the table that she is well under this
recommendation as well. Low fat dairy items in milk, yogurt and cheese could improve this and also help
increase her calcium amount. She is doing well with calcium, but is not hitting the recommended goal by
about 20%.
Fats/Oils and Discretionary Calories: I think my client is doing well with these categories. I know she is
under the recommended amount for discretionary calories, but I would rather her get her calories from more
nutrient dense items that her body could utilize. I calculated the fats by using the conversion factor provided
and the discretionary calories by the calories provided by saturated fat and sugar consumed.
Micronutrients: Overall, I think my client is doing very well with hitting her micronutrient goals, but there
are a few that she should increase. Her vitamin A intake is a bit low, so adding in some foods high in this
such as sweet potatoes or dark leafy greens could improve this. Her vitamin E intake should also increase
and foods high in this would be nuts, spinach and some fish. Finally, her potassium intake should increase as
well. For this I would recommend her getting it from either the dark leafy greens or yogurt so she can
increase these food items as well.
