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.

Whether I'm gaining weight trying to get bigger, or eating less carbs because I'm trying to lose weight, my caloric intake has to be very precise. When I'm cooking, I have to weigh everything I eat and I have to eat at specific times. I have done a lot of research trying to figure out which is the best food for me and my body and for the goals I am trying to reach. I like to have my meals planned out for the entire
“We should eat less of any particular actual food” (51). People consider that they can lose their weight just by reducing their total consumption of fat and completely undermining the portion of other food they consume. To remain hale and hearty,
Based on the Dietary Guidelines and Healthy People 2020 Objectives, I stand far ahead most of my corresponding Americans, because I genuinely work to improve my health. When contemplating meal choices, I concentrate on low calorie, low fat, and low cholesterol options. I opt for dietary foods containing whole grains, healthy fats, calorie dense, and fresh ingredients. Rather than looking to a fast food chain or grabbing the nearest choice, I research the food I plan to consume and take time to compare my choices. Along with healthy food choices, it stands essential to participate in physical activity, if maximum health remains the goal.
For my snacks I had another handful of nuts. For dinner, I had a full piece of chicken with a small salad. I drank 3 bottles of water and also drank the detox water. I think the worse part for me was lunch.
Within cycle 4, we have incorporated many topics within our health and physical education classes. To begin with, we learned about healthy food guidelines, being a health-literate consumer, and the benefits of physical activity.

These guidelines are presented through a pyramid, which is known as “MyPyramid.” MyPyramid is an interactive guide to healthful eating and active living.
Also besides working out there I also am coaching more days of the week usually helping and motivating others to get healthy. I try to eat healthy but sometimes it hard to do so with classes, as it seems like I’m always on the go. My trouble comes with portion intake.

One thing that I want to work on is portion control and eating smaller meals throughout the day.
I can honestly say that nutrition was not my first choice, or at least I thought it was not my first choice; for the past few years I always assumed that physical therapy was my future career. I spent my four years of undergrad studying Exercise and Sports Science because I wanted to learn every aspect of the human body, the biomechanics, physiology and even the human psyche of how the body interacts and ways to improve upon so that I can become a good physical therapist. During this time and actually before attending college, I was always in self-awareness of my body, nutritionally and physically. Consciously aware of what I was allowing into my body and making an effort to be physically active was a life hobby for me, little did I know that this was an immense stepping stone for what I was truly meant to be. On a regular basis, to stay fit and healthy, I would research healthier alternatives, exercise programs and preventative measures.

The target value of calories is 2000 while my average value was only 1271 calories.
