The Okinawan diet can be described as a low-energy, nutrient-rich, high-carbohydrate diet that may be beneficial for reducing the risk of many chronic diseases. The Acceptable Macronutrient Distribution Range (AMDR) for carbohydrate is 45% to 65% of kcal. What percent of calories in this 1-day Okinawan diet menu come from carbohydrate? The amount of total carbs is 342.6 and the amount of total calories is 1790.5. (I wasn't provided with the amount of calories per gram of carbohydrate.)

Expert Solution

The Percentage of calories of the Carbohydrate can be calculated by:

Step 1

To convert the carbohydrate from grams in to kilocalories, multiply the given gram in to 4 (Each gram of carbohydrate is equal to 4 kcal of energy)

The amount of carbohydrate in grams = 342.6

To convert to Kcal = 342.6 ×4

= 1370.4 Kcal of carbohydrate

Step 2

To calculate the percentage of kilocalories by:

Divide the kilocalorie obtained as result from the Step 1by the total amount of calorie given in the information

= 1370.4 Kcal ÷ 1790.5 Kcal

= 0.76

Step 3

Multiply the result of Step 2 × 100

= 0.76 × 100

=76 %

Hence, 76% of carbohydrate kilocalories are included in this diet menu.

Describe a low carbohydrate diet and a low fat diet. Be sure to describe them at the molecular level and relate them to the pathways we’ve studies in this class. Compare and contrast these two with a severe caloric deficit diet (i.e. starvation). Which of the two diets most closely resembles starvation in terms of metabolic pathways.

HIGH PROTEIN/LOW CARBOHYDRATE DIET. One of the current diets that seems to produce substantial weight loss in some persons is the high protein/low carbohydrate diet advocated by such authors as Atkins in his book, Diet Revolution, and Eades and Eades in their book, Protein Power. Although many nutritionists are concerned about the side effects of these diets, others feel the potential risks are outweighed (no pun intended) by the weight loss. The following table gives the grams of fat, carbohydrates,...

Conventional wisdom dictates that a low-fat diet rich in fruits, vegetables, and grains keeps you “heart healthy,” yet low-carbohydrate, high fat diets are popular for weight loss (which increases heart health) and for reducing problems associated with diabetes. Research and discuss both sides of the argument in an APA paper with a minimum of 350-word.
