Explanation / Answer
Meal plan for the day
Type of Meal
Food Items (calories)
Total calorie intake
Carbohydrates
Breakfast
1 fruit – either of orange (65)/ banana (107)/ apple (95), 200 ml Skimmed milk (70), 1 boiled egg (77), 1 cup cornflakes (101)
107+ 70 + 77 + 101 = 355
Fruits mostly have fructose, sucrose and glucose. Milk contains about 4.9% carbohydrate –mainly lactose.
1 hard boiled egg contains 0.6 g carbohydrates mainly fructose, lactose and galactose.
No complex carbohydrates in milk and eggs.
Lunch
1 medium piece grilled chicken (147), 1/2 cup cooked white rice (102), 2 regular size whole wheat bread (134), 1 portion vegetable (60),1 /4 cup baked beans (95)
147 + 102 + 134 + 60 + 95 = 538
No carbohydrates are present in chicken. Rice and wheat contains starch. Beans, peas, corn, potatoes also contain starch.
Snacks
200 ml orange juice (112), 2 pancakes with butter and syrup (520)
112 + 520 = 632
Orange juice contains fructose and sucrose
Dinner
1 bowl vegetable soup (72), 2 regular size whole wheat bread (134), 1 fillet cooked fish (127).
72 + 134 + 127 = 333
Vegetables mainly contain starch, fibre (cellulose) and glucose
2000 - 2500 calories are recommended per day. My diet plan suggests that my intake is 1858. I need to increase my calorie intake since Carbohydrates are macronutrients that provide energy. I should include more nutrient rich simple and complex carbohydrates such as starchy foods, fruits (glucose or fructose) and dairy products (lactose).
