Institut d’Ensenyament Secundari Municipal Juan Manuel Zafra Study of the Diets Barcelona
A study of the diets of 15 year-old- secondary school students • Objectives: • To find out the balance of our regular diet, by looking at what we eat in one day • To learn how to analyse the data using Excel • To draw graphs as a means of analysing the data • To draw conclusions from the analysis of the data
What is considered to be a balanced diet? • In our study, we have considered that a balanced diet is the one that contains: • - 58% of energy from Carbohydrates • - 30% of energy from Lipids • - 12% of energy from Proteins • We haven’t taken into accountother nutricional aspects, such as the types of lipids, carbohidrats and proteins or the amount of vitamines and mineral salts.

Conclusions • To explain the results of our survey shown by the two pie – charts, we can state that the excessive protein intake of our classmates is due to overconsumtion of fast food ( hamburgers, hot dogs, etc.) • This excessive protein intake leads to lower consumtion of carbohydrates, (an unexpected result given the foudness of this age group for sweet foods)
