Nutrition

Nutrition General Nutrition Project Doing this project has shown me many things about my nutrition habits. Things like vitamin c, folate, iron, and calcium had never even crossed my mind. I have looked at the carbohydrates, proteins and fats in the foods I have eaten before, but never really understood what they did and what they are. The recommended intake for carbohydrates in men is about 275 to 300 grams a day. In my three day food record I met that intake one day, at 338 grams. The other two days were pathetic to what I should have taken, at 77 and 53 grams. So I need to eat more pasta, more fiber, and more bread to meet the standards of the average male. With protein, I ate a little more than the standard, which is about 75 grams a day. I have been trying to consume more protein because I have been trying to gain muscle. I have started to work out more and I need a little extra protein, but with the fat I am trying to cut out as much as I can. The recommended intake for fat is roughly 65 grams day, am, grams, eat, trying, should, out, eating, diet, project, need, lot, little, intake, healthy, vegetables, protein, nutrition, fruits, food, cut, about, work, way, try, today, three, things, sugar, stay, record, recommended, really, never, much
