post bio150 full course latest 2015 december [ all discussions all quizes midterm final and all projects ]

Complete the Unit 1 Project as described below, and submit as a EXCEL document to the above link.

In order to better see the application of the course material to your own nutrition choices, for the Unit 1 Project, you will need to keep a detailed 3-day Dietary Journal using the template provided. It is imperative that you put time and effort into properly documenting the food and beverages you consume, as the nutritional aspects of your Dietary Journal will be evaluated in future Unit Projects.

It is not as simple as you might think to maintain a Dietary Journal that will allow for effective nutrition evaluation. The requirement for the Dietary Journal are outlined in the instructions link below, which you should review before getting started.

· For specific instructions and a Sample Dietary Journal, download the Unit 1 Project Instructionsand the Portion Visualspdf reference.

· After reviewing instructions, record your diet for three days using the Dietary Journal Template, you will submit this Excel file along with your project.

· To maximize your grade, please take your time and carefully complete all columns for each of your three days.

· Please keep in mind that you will NOT be graded (or judged in any way) on your diet. Only your instructor will see your Dietary Journal. Your grade on the Unit1 Project will be based solely on how well you recorded your diet over the three-day period using detail and measurements.

· Unit 1.1 DB: Society about Nutrition

Many people who have unhealthy eating habits are unable and possibly unwilling to change their eating style. Many of these individuals say they do not have the money or the time to eat healthy. How can educators provide information to those that do not have access to nutritional information? How can we, as a society, do better about making nutritionally good meals available to everyone? Be thinking about the menus offered by fast food chains and the caloric counts of these dishes, and how best to ‘educate’ our population. Provide resources.

·

Unit 1.2 DB: Dietary Supplements

Before you begin your work for this DB, read the posts of your classmates and aim to avoid supplements already discussed. This will enhance the learning for all. Next, go to:http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/dietarysupplements.html. Click on the drugs and supplements tab. Pick an alphabetical letter, and then click on a supplement (not drug) of your choice. Once you have done so, discuss what the pros and cons are for taking this supplement. Include the common name for the supplement, and your opinion on the use of this supplement.

· Unit 2.1 DB: Nutrition, Religion, and Culture

Many religions and cultures have food restrictions based upon belief systems (see Table 3.10 in your text). After Reading Chapter 3, you now have a very strong awareness of what foods must be consumed to provide a nutritious diet and fuel our bodies. What are the pros and cons to religious beliefs or cultural beliefs and food restrictions? Please provide examples of your own religion or ethnic culture, or one you have interest in. For example, jewish people eat only kosher foods, and dairy/meat cannot be on the same plate. How might this affect their diet?

·

Unit 2.2 DB: Gastric Bypass Surgery

Gastric Bypass Surgery (bariatric surgery) is an elective procedure that involves stapling or banding the stomach, thereby creating a small pouch, and connecting that pouch to a shortened section of small intestine. This creates a smaller upper stomach, thus limiting intake to fewer calories at one time. This surgery is becoming more and more popular, even among those individuals not classified as obese. What consequences does gastric bypass surgery have on digestion, and therefore nutrient absorption? Do you think Americans should use gastric bypass surgery as a means for dieting? If not, where do we draw the line?

·

Unit 2 Project

Complete the Unit 2 Project as described below, and submit as a WORD document to the above link.

In the Unit 1 Project, you recorded and submitted a detailed 3-day Dietary Journal. The weekly projects will entail evaluating the food choices you made. Each project will review your intake from a different nutritional standpoint as related to the unit material. For the Unit 2 Project, you will use the My Plate SuperTracker website. You will input your food choices and print out calculated nutrient intakes from the food you ate (as documented in your Dietary Journal). This data will be used to analyze your diet in future Unit Projects.

Follow the link to download the project instructions. Input your Dietary Journal contents into the SuperTracker website. Create the necessary reports. Complete the questions.

· Read and carefully follow theUnit 2 Project Instructions

· Go toChooseMyPlate.gov. If possible, open up another browser to access this site, rather than viewing it within Blackboard. Some students have had difficulty logging in within Blackboard.

· Please keep in mind that you will NOT be graded (or judged in any way) on your diet. Your grade on the Unit2 Project will be based on creating correct and complete reports and answering the questions thoroughly.

· Unit 7.1 DB: Weight

The term ‘DIET’ technically means the foods and beverages you consume. Therefore, we all have a diet, which is long-term. However, DIET is more commonly thought of as some sort of eating plan designed for weight loss – hence the phrase “I am ON a diet” implying that at some point I will be OFF that diet. This mindset does not support long term weight maintenance very well. (1) Read about the National Weight Control try on page 381 of your text book. Choose 1-2 of the bullet points and discuss/ elaborate on how you feel this behavior helps with weight loss or weight management. (2) Genetics and environment can also play a role in someone’s weight which may lead to obesity or being underweight. Discuss one example of each factor (one genetic and one environmental) and how it can affect the weight of an individual. If you wish, you may use factors which affect your own weight. Note you may wish to consider environmental factors which influence the behavior(s) you discussed in (1.)

·
