Question
Design a One-day menu for a person with special food requirements. Her name is Lisa Kool, born on 06/06/1986; she is 5 feet 4 inches tall and weighs 117 lbs. She is sedentary and also VEGAN. She needs 1,850 calories per day. Be sure to design a balanced menu with enough foods rich in vitamins, minerals, carbohydrate, protein, fiber, and calories. Do not include vitamin and mineral supplements, protein supplements, energy bars, or anything else besides commonly available foods. Use your textbook, NutritionCalc, the food composition table posted on the Course Information (Useful resources, links and tables) tab, as well as what you have learned so far in the course to help you decide on what foods to include in her plan. The food composition table takes a minute or more to download. Divide the menus into breakfast, lunch and dinner, and give the amounts of each food in proper units (refer to lab one) and its Calories content. Remember she is a vegan, a person that does not eat animal products at all. Let’s start planning her diet, complete the chart below using the information provided Sources of Calories Calories RDV (%) AMDR Carbohydrates 60 % 45 – 65 % Protein 10% 10 – 35 % Fat 30% 20 – 35 % 1. First, calculate the Calories needed for each food group based on recommended daily values (RDV %): A. Carbohydrates Average Recommended Value for Carbohydrates is 60% Multiply total calories x 60% 1,850 x 60% = 1,110 calories from Carbohydrates Human Nutrition and Health Laboratory (BIO104) 2 There are 3 meals, so we divide 1,110 in 3 = 370 calories per meal Considering that the AMDR is between 45 – 65%, you can have a range of 278 – 400 calories for a meal. But remember at the end your total calories should be close to 1,850, so if you add to many calories for breakfast, you need to adjust the count by decreasing calories in either lunch or dinner. B. Protein Average Recommended Value for Protein is 10% Multiply total calories x 10% 1,850 x 10% = 185 calories from Protein There are 3 meals, so we divide 185 in 3 = 61.67 calories of Protein per meal. Note that numbers with decimals may be rounded up or down, in this case to ~ 60 calories. C. Fats Average Recommended Value for Fats is 30% Multiply total calories x 30% 1,850 x 30% = 555 calories from Fats There are 3 meals, so we divide 555 in 3 = 185 calories of Fat per meal. 2. Next, Let’s fill in the information on the table Sources of Calories Calories RV (%) AMDR Carbohydrates 1,110 60 % 45 – 65 % Protein 185 10% 10 – 35 % Fat 555 30% 20 – 35 % Total Calories 1,850 3. You are now ready to start looking for foods that Lisa can eat. Distribute the allowed calories per food group between the three meals using the data generated above. Remember the numbers do not need to the exact, they can be a few calories more or less for total calories, what is important is that percentage calories per food groups falls in the Acceptable Macronutrients Dietary Recommendations (AMDR) and that total calories for her diet is close to 1,850. 4. Go to ChooseMyPlate.gov generate her profile. Use the instructions provided in Week 4 for using Food Tracker. 5. Enter food for each meal, distribute the foods using the data calculated at the beginning of the lab for each food group and make sure they are distributed homogenously throughout the planned day. For each meal you will need approximately (remember the numbers do not need to be exact): a. Carbohydrates = à 370 calories b. Proteins à 60 calories c. Fats à 185 calories 6. Generate the reports. You will need to do the same for each meal, breakfast, lunch and dinner
