WHAT
DO YOU EAT IN A DAY?
DO YOU KEEP TRACK OF THE THINGS YOU
EAT IN A DAY? DO YOU KNOW HOW
MANY CALORIES YOU CONSUME IN
A DAY? DO YOU KNOW IF THE FOODS
YOU EAT ARE PROVIDING YOU WITH
THE NUTRIENTS THAT YOU NEED
TO MAINTAIN A HEALTHY BODY?
IN THIS LESSON YOU WILL ANALYZE YOUR
DIET FOR CALORIES AND NUTRIENT
CONTENT.
ACTIVITY
KEEP A FOOD LOG FOR ONE DAY. IN YOUR
FOOD LOG, RECORD ALL THE FOOD
THAT YOU CONSUME INCLUDING SERVING
SIZE FOR MEALS, DESSERTS, SNACKS
AND BEVERAGES. IF YOUR FOODS
COME IN PACKAGES, KEEP THE NUTRITION
LABEL FROM THE PACKAGING.
ASSIGNMENT
STEPS:
- DESIGN A TABLE
CONTAINING
A TOTAL
OF 5 COLUMNS:
ONE COLUMN
FOR THE
FOOD AND
SERVING
SIZE, COLUMN
TWO FOR
FOOD CALORIES,
COLUMN 3
FOR AMOUNT
OF PROTEIN
(IN GRAMS),
COLUMN 4
FOR THE
AMOUNT OF
FAT (IN
GRAMS) AND
COLUMN 5
FOR THE
AMOUNT OF
CARBOHYDRATE
(IN GRAMS).
SEE
MY TABLE
OUTLINE.
-
RECORD
WHAT
YOU
EAT
AND
DRINK
DURING
A
REGULAR
DAY.
ALSO
RECORD
YOUR
SERVING
SIZE.
PLACE
THESE
FOOD
CHOICES
IN
THE
FIRST
COLUMN
OF
YOUR
TABLE.
-
DETERMINE
AND
RECORD
THE
NUMBER
OF
CALORIES
IN
EACH
OF
YOUR
FOOD
OR
DRINK
CHOICES
FOR
THE
DAY.
-
DETERMINE
AND
RECORD
THE
AMOUNT
OF
PROTEIN,
FAT
AND
CARBOHYDRATE
IN
EACH
OF
YOUR
FOOD
CHOICES.
-
FIND
THE
TOTAL
NUMBER
OF
CALORIES
YOU
CONSUME
IN
A
REGULAR
DAY
BY
ADDING
UP
THE
CALORIES
FROM
EACH
FOOD
THAT
YOU
CONSUMED.
RECORD
THIS
TOTAL
CALORIE
NUMBER
AT
THE
BOTTOM
OF
THE
CALORIE
COLUMN.
- FIND THE TOTAL
AMOUNT OF
PROTEIN
(IN GRAMS),
FAT (IN
GRAMS) AND
CARBOHYDRATE
(IN GRAMS)
THAT YOU
CONSUMED.
PUT THESE
TOTALS AT
THE BOTTOM
OF THE APPROPRIATE
COLUMN.
-
PUT YOUR
FULL
NAME
AT
THE
TOP
OF
YOUR
TABLE.
-
EXCHANGE
YOUR
TABLE
WITH
THAT
OF
A
CLASSMATE.
-
VERIFY
YOUR
CLASSMATE'S
CALORIC
AND
NUTRIENT
VALUES.
CIRCLE
OR
MARK
ANY
VALUES
THAT
YOU
DISAGREE
WITH.
IF
YOU
DISAGREE
WITH
VALUES
PRESENTED
IN
YOUR
CLASSMATE'S
WORK,
DISCUSS
THE
DIFFERENCE
WITH
THIS
CLASSMATE.
IF
THE
CLASSMATE
AGREES
THAT
THEIR
VALUE
WAS
INCORRECT,
THEN
DEDUCT
ONE
POINT.
IN
CASE
OF
VALUES
THAT
CANNOT
BE
AGREED
UPON,
CONTACT
YOUR
TEACHER.
-
DEVELOP
A
MARK
FOR
YOUR
CLASSMATE'S
WORK.
AT
THE
START,
YOUR
CLASSMATE
WILL
HAVE
20
MARKS.
EACH
ERROR
MADE
WILL
RESULT
IN
A
LOSS
OF
1
MARK.
GIVE
YOUR
CLASSMATE
A
SCORE
OUT
OF
20
POINTS
BASED
UPON
THE
ACCURACY
OF
THEIR
LIST.
-
SEND
ME
AN
EMAIL
TELLING
ME
THE
SCORE
THAT
YOU
GAVE
THIS
CLASSMATE
ALONG
WITH
THE
CLASSMATE'S
NAME.
INCLUDE
A
SUMMARY
OF
THEIR
ERRORS.
ATTACH
TO
THIS
EMAIL
THE
COPY
OF
THEIR
WORK.
THE FOLLOWING SITES WILL HELP YOU
DETERMINE THE CALORIC CONTENT
OF YOUR FOOD CHOICES.
- SITE

AND
NUTRITIONAL
VALUES
OF
FOODS.
THIS
IS
INTERACTIVE:
FIND
YOUR
FOOD,
CLICK
AND
"VOILA!"
YOUR
CALORIC
AND
NUTRIENT
VALUES
APPEAR!
(THIS
WILL
HELP
YOU
PLAN
AND
TALLY
YOUR

DIET
NUTRITIONAL
AND
CALORIC
NEEDS.)

ASSESSMENT
YOUR SCORE WILL BE BASED
ON WHETHER YOU WERE SUCCESSFUL
IN CALCULATING YOUR TOTAL CALORIES,
TOTAL GRAMS OF PROTEIN, TOTAL
GRAMS OF FAT AND TOTAL GRAMS
OF CARBOHYDRATE. YOUR SCORE
WILL BE THE SCORE DELIVERED
TO YOUR TEACHER BY THE CLASSMATE
THAT LOOKED AT YOUR TABLE OF
INFORMATION. IF YOUR TEACHER
TOTALLY DISAGREES WITH YOUR
SCORING OF THIS WORK THEN YOU
MAY BE ASKED TO LOOK AT THE
