Interpreting Results of Reports D. Submitting Reports Part II: Diet Questionnaire Interpreting Results of the Diet Analysis Part III: Submission of Project Due March 10th Food & Health 400:104 Lecture 3

  5. Recording Food Intake Data Food & Health 400:104 Lecture 3

  6. Help: Estimating Portion Sizes • Measure, if possible • Check net weights and portions on packaging • Estimating Tips: • 1 cup = a baseball • 1 ounce cheese = four dice • 3 ounces meat = deck of cards • 1 ounce nuts = one handful • 1 ounce chips = two handfuls Food & Health 400:104 Lecture 3

  7. Example: Sample Food Record Food & Health 400:104 Lecture 3

  8. B.

  10. C. Interpreting Results Check each day for errors by viewing energy balance report: • Does Calorie total make sense? • For example, half a piece of cake=120 Cals., and 5 pieces of cake + 1200 Cals. Be sure you enter 0.5 for one half piece of cake. Food & Health 400:104 Lecture 3

  11. Dietary Reference Intakes(see inside of textbook cover) Analysis includes: • RDA’s for 9 vitamins, 3 minerals and protein. (by weight) • AI’s for 2 vitamin, 3 minerals, fiber, water and omega fats. (by weight) • Acceptable Macronutrient Distribution Ranges (AMDR) for carbs, fat and protein. (as a percent of Calories) Food & Health 400:104 Lecture 3

  12. Dietary Guidelines- (Ch. 2 ) • Limit non essential components of the diet such as: • Saturated fat – < %10 of Cals • Cholesterol - < 300 mg • Sugar, sweeteners- choose foods low in added sugars (Original guidelines and WHO - <%10 of Cals) • Excess Sodium- < 2300 mg (AI = 1500 mg) • Alcohol- < 1 drink for women, < 2 drinks for men (original guidelines < 10% of Cals) Food & Health 400:104 Lecture 3

  13. Understand the Math: Example 1 cup of 2% milk: • weighs 250 grams • has 125 Cals Calculations: • How many grams of fat ? .02 x 250 grams = 5 grams of fat • How many Cals from fat? 5 g x 9 Cals/ g = 45 Cals • What % of Cals come from fat? 45 Cals /125 Cals x 100 = 36% Food & Health 400:104 Lecture 3
