responsible for designing three healthy meals which could be eaten during the span of an entire day. These meals must follow some basic guidelines that are hereby described below, and which I will be able to monitor because you will be providing me with the “nutritional information” for the three meals together. In other words, the nutritional information that you will be providing will summarize the nutrients consumed during the entire day (almost like blending all of your meals together and then producing the nutritional information for those meals altogether).
Please also note that you can use websites such as: Nutrition calculator: computes nutrition value of a mealLinks to an external site. in order to easily produce the aforementioned “nutritional information.” As a result, you will be providing me with either screenshots, or a PDF file of your scanned “nutritional information” in addition to a document which lists what food each of your three meals consisted of (including what you would eat as well as drink), and evidence that these food items were actually input into . Please note that below you can find the major information that will be required for successful completion of this assignment.
You will design three healthy meals that will be eaten during an entire day.
At the end of the day, all three meals together must contain a minimum of 1,800 calories but are not to exceed 2,500 calories.
You must also not exceed 2,500 mg of sodium for the entire day (1,500 mg would be ideal).
45-65% of your total calories should come from
carbohydrates. *** A gram of carbohydrate contains a total of 4 calories.***
10-35% of your total calories should come from proteins.
*** A gram of protein contains a total of 4 calories.***
20-35% of your total calories should come from fats (including saturated fats as well as unsaturated fats).
*** A gram of fat contains a total of 9 calories.***
7. You will need to provide PDF or screenshot evidence that these food items were actually input into your nutritional calculator.
8. You will also need to provide PDF or screenshot evidence from the nutritional calculator, indicating the validity of the nutrition facts you are providing.
