Nutrition Additional Questions
1. Explain & give examples of water & fat soluble vitamins.
2. Explain the differences in the separate types of fats (saturated vs unsaturated (mono/ poly saturated)? Give physical differences, as well as common examples found in the diet. 3. What foods are high in hydrogenated fats? 4. What are the recommended daily % for macronutrients? 5. How much water does an inactive person need daily? 6. Differentiate & explain the different nutritional claims (p.285). 7.Estimate your Basal Metabolic Rate. How does your caloric intake compare to this value? Are you in a positive or negative energy balance? What are the long term effect of this? 8. Determine, using a chart format, if you are eating a well balanced diet according to Canada’s Food Guide. 9. Determine, using a chart format, your caloric intake for each day (this will take some research online). Also determine the percentage of the calories that are coming from the three macronutrients. 10. What are some problems with your diet? And how could you fix them? 11. What are potential long, and short term health implications would you have if you don’t consciously try to change your diet? (Be sure to reference information and cite in a bibliography) |
