Note: the last 4 pages of this assignment outline contain two appe ndices with information on how to complete an accurate 3 -day food record and how to create and enter foods into iProfile account. It is strongly suggested that you carefully read these over before beginning your assignment. KIN1601 – Assignment #2 3 Part 1: Food and Beverage Intake Over a 3 -day Period Complete a 3 -day food record See Appendix 1 for instructions on how to complete an accurate 3 -day food record. (a) Present your food intake in the form of a table, as follows: (6 marks) Date & Time Location Food/Beverage Amount Friday, Sept . 2 5 8 a.m. Home Dempter’s whole wheat bread, toasted 2 slices Butter , Lactantia 2 teaspoons Non -name peanut butter , natural 3 tablespoons Apple 1 medium Folgers Decaf coffee, brewed 2 cups Coconut milk , So Good 2 tablespoons Splenda 1 teaspoon Centrum “Women Under 50” Multivitamin 1 tablet Tap water, Brita filtered 500 mL Include: – brand names – cooking methods (BBQ, baked, fried, etc) – measurable amounts with mathematical units ( not spoonful, handful, bunch, etc) – if you take a nutritional supplement(s), record it in the chart as well. Part 2: Analysis of Dietary Habits and Patterns Using Canada’s Food Guide The most recent version of Canada’s Food Guide (2019) makes several recommendations related to food choices and healthy eating habits . (a) Reflect on your food choices over the 3 -day period. Comment on 3 ways your eating pattern either did or did not follow Canada’s Food Guide recommendations for healthy food choices (6 marks). (b) Describe 3 ways your eating pattern was or was not consistent with Canada’s Food Guide recommendations for healthy eating habits (6 marks). Part 3: Analysis of Your Diet Using th e iProfile nutrient analysis program This is a big section. Be sure to read all of it and answer each question in the correct order. 1. Enter the foods in your 3 -day food record into iProfile and attach your reports . (1marks) KIN1601 – Assignment #2 4 ➢ See Appendix 2 for information on how to set up your profile in iProfile , enter foods, and generate reports. ➢ Some tips: o For mixed/combination dishes, baked goods, etc., you will need to enter the amount of each ingredient consumed based on a recipe or your best estimate. Alternatively, you can manually enter recipes into iProfile and chose portions of that entered recipe. o In some cases, you may have to substitute a different food item as the next best choice. If this is the case, please indicate the substitution that you ar e making and if you are concern ed that they do not reflect the food(s) that you consumed. ➢ If you take supplements, DO NOT enter thes e into iProfile. You will have to add these to your intake from foods manually. ➢ Attach your personalized reports after you enter all of the foods in your 3 -day food record. You should have 4 reports (tables) : o Profile o Macronutrient Distribution o Food Journal Summary (View by Day of the Week) o Intake Compared to DRI (Complete View) 2. Compare your energy intake to your Dietary Reference Intake (DRI ) (a) Use the information in the “ Macronutrient Distribution ” iProfile report to construct a small table containing the following information: (3 marks ) My average daily energy intake (kcal) My dietary reference intake (DRI ) % of DRI that I met (b) What were some of the more nutrient -dense foods you consumed over the 3 -day period? Would these nutrient -dense foods be considered consistent with healthy food choices ? Explain why or why not (3 marks) (c) Comment on whether or not you met your DRI for energy. How might this affect your body weight if sustained over a longer period of time? (2 marks ) 3. Evaluate your diet according to the Dietary Reference Intakes (DRIs) for macronutrients. (a) Using the iProfile report “Intake Compared to DRI” , compare your dietary intake to the Acceptable Macronutrient Distribution Ranges (AMDRs) for carbohydrate, fat, and protein. Since fibre does not provide energy, compare your intake of fibre (in grams) to the Adequate Intake (AI) for fibre. AMDRs for carbohydrate, fat, and protein, and the AI for fibre can be found in class notes and i n your textbook . Present your information in a table (8 marks ): KIN1601 – Assignment #2 5 Nutrients My Average Intake (grams) My Average Intake (kCal) My Intake (% of avera ge daily energy intake) AMDR (%) Range Carbohydrate Fat Saturated Fat <10% * Protein Fibre “x” grams of fibre/day 1 *Since the DRI committee has not established an AMDR for saturated fat, the value of 10% that appears in the “AMDR (%)” column has been taken from the Nutrient Recommendations, an older set of dietary recommendations. 1Fill in the appropriate value for “x”, according to your age and gender. ➢ To calculate “My Intake (kCal)” for ca rbohydrate, fat, saturated fat, and protein, multiply your intake of each nutrient in grams by the caloric content per gram for that nutrient. ➢ Use your average daily energy inta ke (kCal), determined in question # 2, to calculate “My Intake (% of average daily energy intake). (b) Comment on whether your diet met the AMDRs for percent energy from carbohydrate, fat, and protein, the Nutrient Recommendation for saturated fat, and the DRI for fibre (10 marks ). • If your diet did not meet these recommendations (outside the range) , provide examples of the changes in food choices that you would need to make in order to meet the recommendations. • If your diet did meet these recommendations (within the range) , provide examples of how your current food choices are allowing you to meet these recommendations. (c) Com ment on how your protein intake expressed as g/kg body weight compares to the recommendation of 0.8 g protein/kg body weight. Show calculations. (2 marks ) • Calculate your protein intake per kg body weight (i.e. your average daily protein intake in grams divided by your body weight in kg). Remember, 2.2 lbs = 1 kg. • Do you feel this recommendation of 0.8 g/kg body weight is appropriate for you? Why or why not (d) Comment on whether or not your diet meets the Wo rld Health Organization (WHO) recommendations for trans fat intake, the Daily Value recommendations for cholesterol, and the Nutrient Recommendations for alcohol. (6 marks ). • The WHO recommends that no more than 1% of total energy come from trans fat. The calculation to determine your percentage of daily energy intake from trans fat is: KIN1601 – Assignment #2 6 Energy from trans fat = trans fat (grams) x 9 kCal/gram % energy from trans fat = energy from trans fat (kCal) / daily energy intake (kCal) • Show calculations. If your trans fat intake was below the recommendation, how did your food choices help you achieve this? If it was above, which foods should you try to eliminate from your diet to reduc e your trans fat intake? (1-2 sentences) • The Daily Value recommendation for cholesterol is ≤ 300 mg cholesterol/day. Comment on your cholesterol intake – was it above or below? • The Nutrient Recommendation for alcohol is no more than 5% of total energ y from alcohol. You will find your intake of alcohol in grams in the “Intake Compared to DRI” report. Multiply this number by the caloric density of alcohol (hint: how ma ny kCal of energy does alcohol contain per gram?) to get the number of calories you consumed from alcohol. 4. Compare your intake of vitamins and minerals, from both food and supplements, to the Dietary Reference Intake (DRI) values. (a) Construct table s contai ning the following information . You must include the correct units to receive full marks. [10 marks] : ➢ If you did not consume supplements, put a “0” (zero) in the “Daily Intake from Supplements” column. Your values for the column “My Intake from Food + Supplements (Scientific Units)” will be the same as those in the “My Intake from Food (Scientific Units)” column. ➢ Use the iProfile report entitled “ Intake Compared to DRI (complete view) ” to find the values to insert into the columns for “My Average Daily Intake (Scientific Units)”. Pay attention to the units for each nutrient. ➢ Use the “My DRI” column, course notes, or DRI Tables in the textbook to find the appropriate values for your age and sex to insert into the column for “My DRI (scientific units)”. Examples of scientific units are g (grams), mg (milligrams), µg (micrograms), etc. DRIs can be Recommended Dietary Allowances (RDA) or Adequate Intakes (AI). You must calculate the values for the “% DRI Consumed from Food (%)” and “% DRI Consumed from Food + Supplements (%)” columns. The calculation is: % DRI Consumed = My Average Daily Intake (Scientific Units) / My DRI (Scientific Units) x 100 KIN1601 – Assignment #2 7 Vitamin Average Daily Intake from Food (Scientific Units) Daily Intake from Supplements (Scientific Units) My Intake from Food + Supplements (Scientific Units) My DRI (RDA or AI) (Units) % DRI Consumed from Food (%) % DRI Consumed from Food + Supplements (%) Vitamin A 1 Vitamin D Vitamin E Vitamin K Thiamin Riboflavin Niacin 2 Biotin Pantothenic Acid Vitamin B 6 Vitamin B 12 Folate 3 Vitamin C 1For vitamin A, 1 Retinol Activity Equivalent (RAE) = 1 µg vitamin A 2 For niacin, 1 Niacin Equivalent (NE) = 1 mg niacin 3 For folate, 1 Dietary Folate Equivalent (DFE) = 1 µg folate = 0.6 µg folic acid (the synthetic form of folate found in supple ments; if you took a folic acid s upplement or a multivitamin containing folic acid, you will have to convert to µg of folate before entering that number into the table. KIN1601 – Assignment #2 8 MINERALS Mineral Average Daily Intake from Food (Scientific Units) Daily Intake from Supplements (Scientific Units) My Intake from Food + Supplements (Scientific Units) My DRI (Units) % DRI Consumed from Food (%) % DRI Consumed from Food + Supplements (%) Sodium Potassium Calcium Magnesium Iron Zinc Copper Fluoride Iodine Selenium KIN1601 – Assignment #2 9 (b) Was your intake of these vitamins and minerals adequate based on the DRI? [6 marks] • Choose 3 vitamins and 3 minerals, and comment on how your intake from foods alone compared to your DRI recommendations for these vitamins and minerals. Provide examples of foods in your diet that helped you meet (at or above the DRI) these recommendations. • If you did not meet (below DRI) the recommendations, list a 2 examples of specific foods that you could include in your diet that would help you increase your intake of these vitamins/minerals • If you took supplements, did this change your adequacy status for these vitamins and minerals? Which ones? 5. A healthy diet has been linked to po ssible prevention of many chronic diseases. Throughout this assignment, you have been evaluating your diet. Evaluate your overall diet in terms of chronic disease risk [6 marks]. (a) Summarize 3 aspects of your diet that are ALREADY promoting good health and chronic disease prevention (make specific connections to diseases/conditions). (b) Summarize 3 dietary CHANGES that will make your diet healthier and contribute to chronic disease prevention (make specific connections to diseases/conditions). 6. Reflect on this assignment. How has it changed your view of your diet? Are you surprised by the analysis? Do you plan to make changes to how you approach food? ( 1 marks) KIN1601 – Assignment #2 10 Appendix 1 How to Complete an Accurate 3 -day Food Record To complete your 3 -day foo d record, write down everything you eat and drink over a 3 -day period. These 3 days must include 2 weekdays and 1 weekend day. Don’t forget to include everything you eat, including condiments (mayonnaise, mustard, ketchup, etc.) and beverages (water, cof fee, soda, alcoholic beverages, etc.) It is important to note the way your food is prepared. For example, if you had a chicken breast, was it baked or fried? If you fried it, was it fried in coconut oil? butter ? Those details affect your nutrient intake and should therefore be noted down. ➢ Food records must include the following information: ▪ the time you ate ▪ what you ate (bread, milk, yogurt, etc.) ▪ the quantity you ate (i.e. grams, ounces, cups, teaspoons, etc.) ▪ any important details abou t the food (i.e. low fat, high fat; 1% vs. skim milk; % milk fat for yogurt; for meats – baked, fried, roasted, etc.) If you take supplements (i.e. multivitamins, fish oil, omega -3 supplements), record those in your 3 -day food record as well. Include the brand name and the dose in the details column. Other tips: 1. Keep your usual eating habits. 2. You should write down the food and beverages take n right after consumption – this will prevent you from forgetting what you ate or drank. 3. Use a new page each day. 4. Use a measuring cup, a tablespoon, a teaspoon or a scale to measure the quantity of food taken. Precision is the best! 5. Include as much details as possible (1/2 cup of fruit cocktail, Delmonte, in light syrup). 6. Note the brand name when possible ( 1 big slice, Dempsters 7 grains bread). 7. Write down the fat percentage of all milk products. (8 oz of 1 % milk, 175 g of 3% Astr o peach yogurt, fruit at the bottom). 10. Describe the cooking process used (steamed, grilled, deep frying, frying pan…) 11. Write the name of the restaurant when you eat out. 12. Don’t forget to write the ingredients you add to your food or drinks (cream, sugar, ketchup, jam, salad dressing, sauces, etc.). 13. Include quantity and brand of fat or oil used for cooking (1 teaspoon of Kirkland olive oil ).
