[Instructions to complete the 10 Diet Analysis lab reports]This assignment is worth 100 points How to Keep a 24-Hour Dietary Record2013] Dietary records are one method used to determine the nutrient intake from a persons food consumption on one or more days. It is important for you to read the relevant sections of your textbook [and the measures column of foods listed in Appendix A], and to familiarize yourself with proper serving sizes from the different food groups.1. Record every item that you eat or drink in one 24-hour period. Then, repeat

[Spring

this activity 4 more times for a 5-day diet record. You only need to do this once for the assignment, not a new record for each weeks report. An average nutrient intake will be calculated by the Diet Analysis + program and you will use the one Intake versus Goals report calculations for the 5-day average figures for each of the 10 dietary analysis assignments.2. In your diet record, be sure to record:

A. The amount consumed. (Look at the measure column for the food that you ate in a table of food composition [Appendix A-text]. The measure listed [ex: c; 2 tsp, 1 tbs, 1 c, 1 pce, etc.] is considered to be one serving of that food, which is followed by the weight of that measure.) B. Be sure to refer to the food composition tables key for meanings of the abbreviations used in the measures column. C. If you ate more than one serving, record as 1.5 or 2 or 3.75, etc., not as fractions. D. If you ate less than one serving, record as 0.75 or 0.5, etc., not as fractions (; , etc.).3. Record how the food was cooked (fried, broiled, poached, raw, etc.).

4. Be sure to look on the labels from packaged/canned/frozen foods that you consume for what measure equals one serving size of that food, and for the number of servings per container information. Some people think one can of a food = one servingIt does not!! Example format for your Food List record:Name of Food Milk shake, chocolate Bread, mixed grain Chicken Amount Consumed 2 c (= 2 cups) 2 pce (= 2 pieces) 1 c (or 10 pce or 0.5 c) How Prepared Not cooked Toasted Fried (or Baked or broiled, etc.)

Keep this food list for all foods and beverages consumed over a 24-hour period for each of a total of 5 days. Then, enter each of the 5 days worth of1

dietary information by the day (i.e., Day 1; Day 2; etc.) into the Diet Analysis + (DA+) computer program. (Refer to your text for assistance in determining your portion sizes of foods you ate.)

Reports you need to Save, copy, and bring to class on the reports due date [printed in the upper right-hand corner of each lab assignment] using the DA+ 10.0 to complete the assigned lab reports below.Attach 1 copy of your DRI Report for lab report #1 Save and attach 1 copy of your Intake vs Goals Report (5-day average) and also attach one copy of the Intake vs Goals Report with each of the 10 lab reports turned in class

Note IMPORTANT: You should print a paper copy of your food list [the foods you entered into the computer program by the day. In order to do this, you need to go to the Intake Spreadsheet and print this report for each day (one day at a time). Keep these printouts in case something happens to your DA+ program. In the event of something happening to your program, you can easily re-enter your food record (if necessary), if you have a copy on hand. You do not need to turn these food lists in to us!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Also save copies of all the following reports on your computer: (1) Macronutrient Ranges (be sure to show 5-day average, click calculate) (1) My Pyramid Analysis (be sure to show 5-day average, click calculate) Source Analysis Reports print all of the following reports for a single day of your choice. Remember to click the day you are

using [the program will formulate a source analysis for the 5 day average; HOWEVER for these labs please only choose 1 day, otherwise the calculations will not work out], and click calculate, before you click print on the screen. You 2

will need one source analysis copy of each nutrient below for one of the lab reports later; so, save them all. Carbohydrate Total fat Cholesterol Protein Iron Zinc Vitamin A (RAE) Vitamin D Vitamin E Vitamin B6 Thiamin

Calcium

Folic acid (folate) Vitamin C (ascorbic acid)

Lab #3B: Estimation of Energy Output LabFeb 14, 2013

Date Due:

One way to estimate your personal REE (resting energy expenditure) is to use the Mifflin-St. Jeor equation:2 Please make sure you are using the correct formula based on whether you are male or female. REE (males) = [10 weight (kg)] + [6.25 height (cm)] [5 age (y)] + 5 REE (females) = [10 weight (kg)] + [6.25 height (cm)] [5 age (y)] 161 For example, a 20-year-old male who weighs 160 pounds and is 5 feet, 9 inches tall would convert his body weight to kilograms as follows: [1pt] Step A: Example conversion: 160 lbs. divided by 2.2 lbs./kg = 72.7 kg Your personal body weight conversion: ________ lbs. 2.2 lbs./kg = ________ kg ..................................................................................................... [1pt] Step B: Then convert height to centimeters. Example conversion: 5 feet, 9 inches = (5 feet 12 inches/foot) + 9 inches = 69 inches 69 inches 2.54 cm/inch = 175.26 cm Your personal height conversion: ________ inches 2.54 cm/inch = ________ cm ..................................................................................................... [1pt] Step C: Finally, you select the appropriate equation and insert your weight, height, and age into your chosen equation. Example equation: REE = (10 72.7 kg) + (6.25 175.26 cm) (5 20 y) + 5 = 1727 kcal/day (estimated) Your weight, height, and age in your chosen equation: (_______ _______) + (_______ _______) (_______ _______) + / _______ = _______ kcal/day ..................................................................................................... [1pt] Step D: The estimated REE for the 20-year-old male who weighed 160 pounds was 1727 kcal/day.2
