Pre Nutrition Analysis Essay

614 Words3 Pages

There were hardly any differences or changes between the post nutrition analysis and the pre-nutrition analysis. I’m still having problems getting enough calories from what I eat. I have at the very least managed to keep my calorie intake over 900 calories. The lowest amount that I got on the prenutrition analysis was 554, so getting to an average of over 900 is somewhat better than what I had before. I have found that it not easy to get a max amount of calories without possibly increasing the amount of sodium I take in. I don’t want to get an increased amount of sodium or sugars so I’m going to have to keep an eye out for recipes that don’t look like heart attacks waiting to happen. Another problem that I have is finding food that I would be interested in eating. I knew that I had this problem before, but now that I’m trying to fix it I find myself in a bit of a bind. I can’t cook much more than simple recipes so that makes it difficult to have an expanded list of things to eat. It doesn’t help that I can be a bit of a picky eater.

I’m not really sure how to go about getting most of the ones that I am missing since most of these are probably in fruits and vegetables. While I don’t mind fruits I’m not really a big fan of most vegetables. I’m also not really an adventurous eater so if I don’t like the look of the food or the taste of the food I tend not to eat it. I used to not like fish at all because to me it looked kind of gross. It wasn’t until my mother started eating it that I tried it for myself and found that I actually liked it. On the other hand I still can’t stand cauliflower. I don’t like that taste at all so I avoid getting it when I go to the store. If I want to maximize my mineral and vitamin intake I can start with more fruits and the vegetables I actually do like. Finding creative ways to make a salad would be a good way to go about

Nutritional Science 203 Assignment 2 1. Choose a micronutrient or a macro-mineral that you would like to learn more about and why (2 points). The macro-mineral that I am interested in learning about is calcium because the body does not produce calcium, so we have to obtain it from food sources. However, being lactose intolerant makes me vulnerable to have lower calcium intake than the average recommended, which is why I compensate that by taking calcium supplements.

The most looked at nutrients are saturated fat, vitamin A, vitamin C, fiber and sugar. I went over my limit for saturated fat, but only for 5%. For vitamin A I surpassed my limit by a large amount that is not in any way good for me. For Vitamin C I surpassed it too by a lot, but way less than vitamin A. I went a bit under the target of dietary fiber, but I usually don’t have trouble going to the bathroom so I don’t worry about that too much.

Maya Angelou, a writer, professor, actor, director, singer, civil rights activists, and poet, released “Caged Bird” as a part of her fourth poetry book Shaker Why Don’t You Sing? in 1983. The title references both her critically acclaimed autobiography, I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings and Paul Laurence Dunbar’s “Sympathy”. “Caged Bird” shares many similarities with “Sympathy” as they both contrast the beauty of nature and Earth with the cruelty of life as an encaged bird, desperate to live freely but unable to escape their rigid cell. An allegory to slavery, segregation, and the injustices Black Americans face, Angelou adds to this image, a second bird.

Increased malnutrition is caused by poor diversification of diets such as relying too much on starchy staples. Thus, the consumption of a variety of foods is important for positive health. Malnutrition can be reduced by the consumption of diets having animal sources, vitamin-rich fruits and vegetables as well as nutrient-rich legumes (Arimond and Ruel, 2004; Thompson and Amoroso, 2011). According to the FAO, IFAD and WFP, (2015) about 800 million people do not have sufficient access to calories. A low intake of vitamins and minerals causes about 2 billion people all over the world to suffer from micronutrient malnutrition (IFPRI, 2014).

The short term benefits of not eating vegetables would be to have more space to eat other things, like refined grains or sugary things, which would appeal more to the taste than other things, making meals more pleasurable in a sense. The long term dangers of this choice will be that I could possibly die, for my lack of most micronutrients. Micronutrients, like vitamins and minerals, are essential for life and for good health and they are mainly found in vegetables, so not eating my vegetables would have caused a lack of most of my micronutrients, and so have caused death. This is a possible danger, for not having balance between vitamins and minerals, and proteins, fats and carbohydrates and so being malnutrition for not having the sufficient micronutrients required for having a good
