PART 1

1. 1 cup

1. 3 out of the 4 cups

1. 1 calorie = .001 kcal= .69 kcal

690 calories= x

1. 39.13%

1. 19.57%

1. 45.21%

1. 15.65%

1. 15.65%

1. 1 gram of fiber * .75 consumed = 3 grams of fiber

1. 730 mg = .73 gram *.75 consumed = .55 grams of sodium consumed

1. Fat provided the most energy

1. I would be inclined to believe this food is made from processed or refined grained because it is regular white pasta. Also there is a lack of fiber.

1. There is a lot of sugar in this food because is it processed. Processed foods usually contain a good amount of sugar (MSG).

PART 2

1. Fat mass = 175 * .35 = 61.25 lbs

2. Fat free mass= 175 – 61.25= 113.75 lbs

3. Target body weight = 113.75        =        113.75/.7= 162.50lb

1 – (30/100)

4. You can use a weight calorie calculator to calculate daily calorie target.         

5. Goal 1= 162.50 ;   Goal 2= 155.82; Goal 3= 151.67

6. This is necessary because it allow a person to get an accurate estimate of their daily calories required for loss, gain or maintenance. This allows the person to put together a plan for how much weight they would like to gain lose or maintain.  

7. Body composition is the term used to describe the different components that make up a persons body weight. Body weight measurements measure total weight but not the lean-to-fat ratio of that weight. Therefore a weight chart can consider a person “overweight” based on scale weight.

PART 3

1. They would need to meet with a dietician to calculate the amount of carbohydrates the person needs to intake. Some dietary recommendations are to not eat much food at one time. They must eat reasonable portions of starch. Starch turns into glucose so it is very important to intake too much. However, starch should definitely be apart of ever meal in reasonable portion. They are also advised to drink one milk at a time. Fruits are also a concern. Granted fruits are healthy, they a naturally high in sugars. They are also advised to avoid canned fruit in syrup as well as fruit juice and artificial sweeteners. Breakfast is also very important and keeping record of foods is important as well.
2. It is said that athletes and active people require more protein. The amount of protein increase depends on current body weight, total energy intake, exercise intensity, and the individual’s age. Protein has been shown to improve rehydration and minimize fatigue signals emanating from the brain. When consumed with carbohydrate during exercise muscle damage is reduced and delays fatigue.
3. This is a condition where bones become weak and brittle. A balanced healthy diet and in taking the recommended amount of calcium, vitamin D and K2 and magnesium. Avoid smoking and drinking alcohol. Also, getting the current mass density status is a smart move. In order to delay onset, one must understand the technique used to diagnose, treat and prevent.
