Nutritional Assessment

For this assignment, I kept a record of all of the things I ate in one week as well as my weight. After I recorded everything, I went to the website webmd.com to find out the number of calories contained in each one of the things I ate, and then I converted those numbers to kilocalories. After finishing this process, I could look at the total calories I am consuming a day and I could compare it to what I am supposed to be eating according to health.gov and the American Cancer Society.

Clinical

According to health.gov, with my current weight, age, height, gender, and lifestyle, I should be consuming 1860 to 2000 calories a day. If I wish to lose weight the American Cancer Society suggests cutting that amount by 250 calories a day resulting in a decrease to around 1610 calories a day. My BMI right now is 23.0 which is considered normal, so my goal is not losing mass or weight. I should be exercising more often to keep in good shape and because in the long run, the consequences of a sedentary life could develop in problems with the blood pressure, weaker bones, hormonal imbalance, etc. (Ekelund & Brage). I’m also consuming less calories than what is recommended, but I am including all of my nutrients in my diet.
