Nutrition Chart - Valencia



Nutrition Chart

To see how well your eating habits are meeting your nutritional needs, you will complete a chart (available on D2L) for a typical 24-hour period. You will also note the calories and macronutrient breakdown (grams of fat, protein, and carbohydrates) consumed in each food serving. Most packaged foods have all the nutritional information you need right on the label, in the Nutrition Facts box. For foods that don’t have such labels, consult a nutritional reference guide such as The NutriBase Nutrition Facts Desk reference.

When you have entered all the macronutrient data, determine the ratio of fat to protein to carbohydrates by dividing the number of calories in each macronutrient category by the total calories consumed. Fats are the densest sources of food energy: one gram provides nine calories of food energy, compared with four calories for each gram of carbohydrate or protein. For example, suppose your total of 2,500 calories breaks down as follows: 156.0 grams (624 calories) protein, 344.0 grams (1,376 calories) carbohydrates, and 56.0 grams (504 calories) fat. This results in a macronutrient ratio of 20:25:55, or 20% fat (500/2,500), 25% protein (625/2,500), and 55% carbohydrates (1,375/2,500).
