Scenario/Summary

Welcome to Lab 3.

The goal of this assignment is to examine food available at fast-food establishments and examine dietary practices of the everyday consumer while reviewing key nutritional components.

Fast Food Menu Creation Overview

For this assignment, you have been asked to explore the nutritional value of menu items at a local fast-food restaurant. Using the available menu items, plan two meals: the healthiest meal possible and the unhealthiest meal possible. Both meals should include an entrÃ©e, a side, a beverage, and dessert.

Deliverables

Describe the healthy meal that you have created from the fast-food restaurant using the nutritional value of menu items.

Name the restaurant, and then write a nutritional analysis of the meal you have created. (Explain all of the nutrients found in the meal, like carbs, protein, fat, and some essential vitamins and minerals.)

Discuss your reaction to the analysis--make sure to explain why you feel the way you do about this meal. For example, if your meal is composed primarily of fat, discuss that point; if your meal supplies a lot of sugar per serving, discuss that as well. Please also remember to link excess or limited amounts of nutrients with diseases or the potential for disease (too much fat may put you at risk for heart disease, not enough calcium may not support bone health, etc.). Please make sure this section is as detailed as possible.

How will this information affect your future food choices? Make sure to explain why you will or will not eat this meal again, and support your answer with the information found in the above sections.

In a Word document, please answer and discuss the following questions.

I am an ESL student. I am doing a research on a new disease. Following is the introduction of our research. It is really important, I will use it to apply for approval and funding.
Because I am an ESL so mistakes are unavoidable. Could you please help me by checking and correcting my grammar, changing some words/sentences and make it more native and smooth ?

"Micronutrient deficiencies can lead to many severe diseases such as anemia, pellagra, osteomalacia or impaired cognitive development. There are more than 2 billion people worldwide affected by micronutrient malnutrition. In Vietnam, regardless of economic growth improvements in recent years, micronutrient deficiencies still remain the major public health problem. Especially, the issue is even more detrimental in ethnic minorities due to their poverty, backward eating habit and insufficient nutritional knowledge.

From April 2011, an idiopathic disease called inflammatory palmoplantar hyperkeratosis (IPPH) syndrome has caused 20 deaths among 300 hospitalized patients in Ba To, a rural district of Quang Ngai province in central Vietnam. Ba To is a remote mountainous district highly populated by ethnic minorities whose main occupations are farming. Most of households had been continuously consuming moldy rice stored in poor conditions from previous harvests. Of the cases known to have died, 62.8% of patients were admitted with malnutrition and wasting syndrome. We hypothesized that micronutrient deficiencies are the risk factors of high incidence of IPPH syndrome in ethnic minorities. Therefore, we aim to study the micronutrient status and the adequacy of micronutrient intake in ethnic minorities. This study also investigates the association of socioeconomic status, lifestyle factors and living environment of ethnic minorities with their micronutrient malnutrition. Subsequently, a research-based community intervention will be conducted to prevent and control outbreak of IPPH syndrome in Ba To district."

Background: In this assignment, you willinvestigate the chemical composition of the foods we eat as ourbodies break down food by the digestive process.

The USDA Nutrient Data Laboratory has posted a resourcethrough which you can investigate the chemical composition offoods. Go to the USDA Lab Link at USDA Nutrient DataLaboratory: http://ndb.nal.usda.gov/

Instructions

Type in a keyword, then select a food group using the drop-downarrow, then click "submit."
This pulls up a menu with lots of choices.
Choose one food choice, then click "submit"
Next choose a portion size, then click "submit"
This will bring up the nutritional informationneeded to complete the assignment.

Example:

Keyword: Apple
Select Food Group: Fruits and FruitJuice
Apples, raw, with skin.
One medium

Assignmentdetails:

A. Nutrition: Analyze the nutritionalcomponents of the food you select; and in your own words, answerthe following questions using the USDA Nutrient Data Laboratory Website as listed in the unit Web resources:

What was the food and portion size you chose?
Describe its composition in terms of carbohydrates, lipids, andproteins.
How many calories are in your food item? (Found in the Databaseas Energy Ã¢â¬â kcal)
List some of the most common vitamins and minerals in this fooditem.
Are there other important nutritional components of this fooditem? If so, list these. If not, say so.

B. Water:

How much of your food item is water?
Provide one reason why water is important for life. Toadequately answer this question, it will be necessary to explain areason for waterÃ¢â¬â¢s importance based upon its chemical and /orphysical properties.

C. Biological Molecule:

State the most abundant category of biological molecule in yourfood: carbohydrates, lipids, or proteins.
Describe the structure of this type of molecule, and itsprimary function(s). This section will not be a one sentence answer.In order to adequately Ã¢â¬ÅdescribeÃ¢â¬ an entire category ofbiological molecules, you will need to briefly review their basicmolecular structures and functions.

D. Recommendation:

After identifying the nutritional components, discuss WHY youwould or would not recommend this food item as part of a healthy,nutritious diet. Be sure to use references and guidelines such asthe Food Pyramid and Recommended Daily Allowances to support yourrecommendations.
