Dietary Analysis (Max. 1500 words)

1.   Record your anthropometric information (should include age, height, weight, BMI and EER)
AGE: 21 Weight 83KG BMI: 24 EER (Estimated Energy Requirement): 3038.4 total calories per day.
2.   Record a three-day food diary for yourself and analyze your own diet to evaluate your energy and nutrient intake. Remember to include the quantities of the different foods you eat. Use tables or a spreadsheet (e.g. Excel) to record your food diary. Please include caffeine and alcohol in your food diary where applicable. This raw data should form Appendix A of your assignment.
The three-day food diary is based on what you eat but according to my weight and information given above in fellow highlight.
a. Calculate your total energy intake (kJ) and express the energy nutrients (carbs, protein, fat and alcohol as applicable) for your three-day diet as a percentage of your total energy intake. This should be Appendix B of your assignment.
b. Calculate your average daily intake for the nutrients (listed in the table below) and express your average daily intakes as a percentage of the RDI/AI of these nutrients for each of the three days. This should be Appendix C of your assignment.
c. Show the fully-workedcalculations used to generate the following data (This should be Appendix D of your assignment):?i. BMI ?ii. BMR?iii. estimated energy requirement (EER) taking into consideration your personal physical activities in this calculation. (Note that EER formula can be found on p238 (or p250 of the 1st edition) of the recommended textbook).?iv. conversion of kcal to kJ (needed if using food composition table from American version of text)?v. converting quantity of energy yielding nutrients to kJ?vi. expressing energy yielding nutrients as % of total energy intake?vii. expressing average daily intakes as % of RDI/AI
• Show all the steps in your calculations and include any assumptions or conversions you have included in your calculation. ?• Convert any excel spreadsheets you use in your calculations or for your food diary to a pdf file (this will be printed out so please ensure the text is in a legible font size before you convert to pdf) and submit this as attachment.?• (Note: Consider a nutrient which is ±20% of the recommended level to be excess or deficient)
3. Present all your results in a summary table and indicate nutrients that are in excess or deficient. Discuss your summary table in relation to your anthropometric data, based on your calculations above and highlight the effects any excesses or deficiencies in your diet. Recommend any changes that are required in your diet or lifestyle to maintain your health and explain the reason for the changes you would make. If your assessment recommends no changes, explain why. Note that your result summary table should be included in the beginning of your assignment and is a summary of the data from your appendices.
Rationale
The dietary analysis assignment serves the purpose of applying the ‘theoretical’ knowledge relating to the importance of nutrient intake to a practical exercise, emphasizing the importance of a healthy diet. As such it requires addressing the following learning outcomes as appropriate for an individual’s circumstances, since not all are applicable in every case:
?   be able to describe the range of nutrients and recommended nutrient intakes
?   be able to outline the digestion, absorption and transport of nutrients in the human body;
?   be able to describe the nutritional importance of water soluble and fat soluble vitamins, minerals and trace minerals;
?   distinguish those special nutritional requirements during periods of physiological stress (eg during different

Structure of your report:
Your report should be no longer than 1500 words. Use any legible font type (e. g. Arial, Times New Roman, Calibri or Cambria). Use font size 11 or 12. Your report should have a heading, an introduction a main body and conclusion. You should also provide references using the APA style. Tables and figures you include in your report should be clearly labelled and referred to in your text.
Tips:
• For help with creating PDF documents contact Student Support Learning Skills. There are also a number of free pdf converting programs available on the internet.?• Ensure that all data are reported in SI units.?• Use page number and subheadings?• If you cannot find some foods that you eat in the food composition table, choose something similar in the table for the purposes of this exercise.
Please note that the Australian version of the textbook does not contain a table of food composition. In the resources folder for the subject, a number of links are provided to sources of food tables online.
