1. Nutrition Review Assignment
Use the sample daily diet of a 16-year-old male as outlined in the Gateway Biology Review packet (page 9).
Calculate the percentage of Calories due to carbohydrates, fats, and proteins in the diet outlined.
In a well-developed paragraph, analyze and evaluate the diet shown in terms of USDA recommendations:
Active teen males should consume approximately 2800 Calories per day
No more than 93 Calories from fat is recommended per day
In your evaluation, be sure to include:
The total Calories ingested
The percentage of Calories contributed by each of the nutrients (carbohydrates, fats, and proteins)
Comparison to the USDA recommendations for a 16-year-old male
Food choice recommendations to improve the diet
