questions on the Report Sheet in the spaces provided: (Worth 11 marks total) Daily Protein Intake Chart 1 1. Determine your personal protein requirement from the chart above & compare that with the AMDR-established protein requirement (using the pre-set 15%) found back in Module 2. Why might there be differences between these two amounts? Provide 2 possible reasons for any discrepancy you might observe. 2. Based on the total daily protein intake you recorded for yourself, are you consuming an adequate amount of protein? Why or why not? 3. What specific adjustments (choose 2) might you make to your daily diet to better reflect the protein requirements you have just established?
PART THREE: Opinion on High Protein Diets (Worth 12 marks in total) Given your knowledge of proteins from Module 1 and your examination in Module 3 of High Protein Diets, what is your opinion on protein in the diet? Do you think people generally eat too much or too little protein based on your work with Billy's case study and your own protein needs which you just examined? Would you ever recommend a high protein diet to a friend? Why or why not? Discuss your answer in the space provided on the Report Sheet, and refer to the accompanying rubric for marks distribution. No in-text citations are required for this section, but you may refer to specific points presented in the course content covered to date. Your answer should be between 250 and 500 words.
Using the daily protein requirement that you have determined from the chart and adding the protein amounts from Billy's one day dietary log, answer the following questions on the answer sheet linked above (High Protein Diet Analysis Template): Billy's Case: (Worth 12 marks) 1. How much daily protein (grams) does Billy require? 2. How much protein is Billy currently consuming based on his one-day dietary log? 3. What is the difference between Billy's requirement as an athlete and the amount that Billy is currently consuming? 4. Consider Billy's age, gender, height & weight and using the Harris Benedict Calculator from Module 2, determine his Daily Energy Requirement (DER). Billy would be considered to have an activity factor of 1.725 (very active). Then, look at the recommended grams of protein that the pre-set AMDR (15%) suggests. Is this comparable to the chart above? By removing the pre-set AMDRS (User Set Limits), what % would be a better fit to the suggest protein levels from the above chart? 5. How might you adjust his current diet to make up the protein difference?
Billy's Daily Dietary Log: Protein-containing foods: Meal Breakfast Lunch Dinner Snacks Food Items 2 large eggs ½ cup oatmeal 1 can tuna (in a pita) 1 cup 2% milk Salmon ½ cup rice Cottage Cheese 1/4 cup almonds Protein Content (grams) 26 grams 5 grams 22 grams 8 grams 23 grams 2.5 grams 13 grams 311 7.5 grams
PART TWO: Personal Protein Needs Analysis Now that you have examined Billy's dietary protein needs, let's consider YOUR personal protein needs. The first step will be to create a one-day dietary log, similar to what Billy did. Using the same format (chart provided on Record Sheet), record all the foods that you consumed for one day - Try to do this on a typical day to make the most of this analysis. Next, research (using the online tools you used back in Module 2) the protein content of each of the foods and add the amounts to determine what your protein intake was for that one day. Be able to recall the daily grams of protein that you calculated for yourself back in Module 2, Unit #1 from the Harris Benedict Calculator. You will need to compare this with your actual protein intake. Worth 4 marks for completeness Answer the following PART TWO: Personal Protein Needs Analysis Now that you have examined Billy's dietary protein needs, let's consider YOUR
