how to write 7 days diet analysis report?
Preparation of table
Read the labels on the packaging and record this information directly into a table like the one shown above.
1. Total up all of the calories you have consumed for a 7 day period, and divide by 7 for your daily average intake. Is there a pattern? At what time of day do you consume most of your calories? Is there any difference between weekdays and weekends?
2. What percentage of your total diet is fat _____% , carbohydrate _____% , protein _____%
% fat in diet = (grams fat / (grams fat + carb + protein)) x 100
% carb in diet = (grams carb / (grams fat + carb + protein)) x 100
% protein in diet = (grams protein / (grams fat + carb + protein)) x 100
3. Choose your activity level. (These are for adults. If you are still growing or have a high metabolism, choose a higher number.)
17: Very Active (exercise almost every day at least an hour per day)
16: Active (exercise at least one hour two or more times a week)
15: Average (walk often, take the stairs instead of the elevator, exercise about once a week)
14: Low (infrequent exercise, occasionally walk for exercise)
13: Very Low (almost never exercise, drive almost everywhere, usually take the elevator instead of the stairs)
4. Calculate calories needed per day:
Activity Level x Desired Weight (lbs) = ____________ Required Calories per day
5a. One pound of fat contains 3500 calories. If you want to lose 25 pounds, for example, how many calories is that?
25 pounds x 3500 cals/pound = 87,500 cals
5b. If you want to lose one pound (3500 cals) per week, you would need to burn an extra 500 calories per day, or reduce your intake by the same amount. (3500 cals / 7 days = 500 cals/day)
5c. How much exercise do you have to do to burn 500 calories per day? Try this exercise calculator for an estimate.
6. If you want to lose all of the weight in 1 month (30 days), how many extra calories per day must be burned? Is losing this much weight in a month practical?
87,500 cals / 30 days = 2917 cals/day
7. Take a look at the Recommended Daily Intake tables, and determine how your diet compares to the Daily Reference Values (DRVs) for total fat, saturated fat, cholesterol, sodium, potassium, total carbohydrate, dietary fiber, and proteins.
Food type calories per gram
Fat 9 cals/g
Protein 4 cals/g
Carbohydrate 4 cals/g
Alcohol 7 cals/g
9. 1 gram of fat yields 9 calories. 1 gram of protein yields 4 calories and 1 gram of carbohydrate yields 4 calories. If you eat 250 grams of a food which is 25% fat, 35% protein and 40% carbohydrate, calculate total calories consumed? _________
10. Refer to the weight tables for adult males and females, and the recommended caloric intake of adult males and females. How will you change your diet based on what you have learned?
Energy balance report
The average intake of Calories over the 7 day recorded period was________kcal perday.The average expenditure was ______kcal per day which results in an average net gain of_____ kcal per day.
