For each meal, include the following: a main course (i.e. sandwich, burger, sub, etc.), a side dish (i.e. salad or fries), dessert, and a beverage (i.e. pop, milk, juice).FoodServing Size (g)CaloriesCarbs (g)Protein (g)Fat (g)Sodium (% or mg)BreakfastLunchDinnerTotalsNote: Some nutrition charts list sodium in mg only. 1500mg equals 100%Daily Value for sodium2.After all three meals have been selected, and the nutritional information for each food product has been recorded, enter the daily totals for calories, carbohydrate grams, protein grams, fat grams, and sodium %Daily Value, or milligrams, and enter those totals in the space provided.3.Determine how many total calories come from each of the three energy nutrients (i.e. carbs, proteins, and fats) in your typical by doing the following calculations:Calories from Carbohydrates:________ g x 4 calories = _____________ caloriesCalories from Proteins: _________ g x 4 calories = ______________ calories Calories from Fats: __________ g x 9 calories = ______________ calories4.Determine the percentage of calories that come from each of the three energy nutrients, in your typical meal, by performing the following calculations:Carb. calories / Total calories x 100 = ___________ / ___________ x 100 = ____________ %Protein calories / Total calories x 100 = ___________ / ___________ x 100 = ____________ %Fat calories / Total calories x 100 = ___________ / ___________ x 100 = _____________ %Explain how does your typical meal compares to the recommended percentages, of 45 – 65% from carbohydrates, 10 – 35% from proteins, and 20 – 35% from fats? Specifically, which part of your meal accounts for the major increase/decrease in macronutrient percentage?plete the following chart by now selecting three “heart healthy” meals, for breakfast, lunch, and dinner from the same restaurant chain. As before, include a main course, a side dish and/or dessert, and a beverage, as well as any other food of your choice.FoodServing Size (g)CaloriesCarbs (g)Protein (g)Fat (g)Sodium (% or mg)BreakfastLunchDinnerTotalsNote: Some nutrition charts list sodium in mg only. 1500mg equals 100%Daily Value for sodium6.After all three “heart healthy” meals have been selected, and the nutritional information for each food product has been recorded, enter the daily totals for calories, carbohydrate grams, protein grams, fat grams, and sodium %Daily Value, or milligrams, and enter those totals in the space provided.7.Determine how many total calories come from each of the three energy nutrients (i.e. carbs, proteins, and fats) in your “heart healthy” meal by doing the following calculations:Calories from Carbohydrates:________ g x 4 calories = _____________ caloriesCalories from Proteins: _________ g x 4 calories = ______________ calories Calories from Fats: __________ g x 9 calories = ______________ calories8.Determine the percentage of calories that come from each of the three energy nutrients, in your “heart healthy” meal, by performing the following calculations:Carb. calories / Total calories x 100 = ___________ / ___________ x 100 = ____________ %Protein calories / Total calories x 100 = ___________ / ___________ x 100 = ____________ %Fat calories / Total calories x 100 = ___________ / ___________ x 100 = _____________ %Explain how does your “heart healthy” meal compare to the recommended percentages, of 45 – 65% from carbohydrates, 10 – 35% from proteins, and 20 – 35% from fats? Specifically, which part of your meal accounts for the major increase/decrease in macronutrient percentage?9.a) How does each meal that you have selected, compare with respect to the %Daily Value of sodium (i.e. salt), for an entire day (i.e. is either above or below 100% recommended daily limit or 1500 mg)?Typical Meal = __________ % DVHeart Healthy Meal = ___________ % DVb) What possible medical problems may result from too much sodium in one’s diet?10.Calculate your RMR using the Harris-Benedict equation, then determine your Total Daily Caloric Needs, by multiplying your RMR by the appropriate activity factor (i.e. 1.2 for sedentary, 1.375 for lightly active, 1.55 for moderately active, 1.75 for very active, and 1.9 for extra active)RMR = 66.5 + (5 x height in cm) + (13.7 x weight in kg) – (6.8 x age in years)Total Daily Caloric Need = RMR x activity factor = ____________________ calories / day x ________ (activity factor) = ____________________ total calories / day11.Determine the percentage of your recommended total daily caloric need, that each day (typical and heart healthy) contained, by performing the following calculation:Typical Day Total Calories / Total Daily Caloric Need x 100 = ____________ calories / ____________ calories x 100 = ____________ %Heart Healthy Total Calories / Total Daily Caloric Need x 100= _____________ calories / ____________ calories x 100 = __________ %How do your meals compare to your expected Total Daily Caloric Need? Explain why this has occurred.12.What have you learned about the food choices at your favourite fast food restaurant, with regards to the number of calories they possess, as well as to where those calories come from, between carbohydrates, proteins, and fats?13.a) What effect would eating all your meals, at this one restaurant (as Morgan Spurlock did at McDonalds, in Super Size Me), have on your overall energy balance, over time? b) What effect, if any, will this exercise have on your food choices at the fast food restaurant that you have examined?
