Bivariate Data
Aim
The aim of this investigation is to find out whether, in general, more
fat means more calories in food. I am doing this to discover which
foods' calories are largely composed of fat, and which foods have many
calories, and yet have only a small amount of fat, if any at all.
The results I discover might be especially useful for people who are
dieting. Often people avoid foods with fats in them, and this sort of
investigation will help to show what foods are best for this diet. On
the other hand, the information could also be used for people who are
on low calorie diets, but that are not especially concerned with the
amount of fat they get in their food.
Data Collection
I decided to use a range of 50 foods. The information source for this
data was a book called 'Calorie Counter' which is a source with over
1200 foodstuffs' data recorded. To obtain the data, I took every 20th
result from the book, however, if I got two pieces of data that were
of the same food, the only differences being that they were made by
different companies or with a specific flavour, I took the next food
which I had not used before. If I had not done this, I would have got
many results which would have been remarkably similar.
I thought that the best thing to do in the case of repeated foods was
to take the next type of food because this would give me a wider range
of foods to study, while keeping the selection of the foods relatively
random. As the foods in the book were in alphabetical order, and in no
way ordered by means of numbers of calories or amounts of fat, I
assumed that the selection was entirely random with regards to fat
content and number of calories.
The other way in which I used foods which weren't every 20 was when
the foodstuff would have been cooked in a specific way to reduce fat,
Learning about what the different nutrients do for the human body have motivated Susanne to incorporate those nutrients into her diet. Susanne used to be someone that chose food to lose weight. Now, she is trying to make smart food choices to be healthy. She now understands that it is more important to be healthy than to be skinny. Susanne has an elevated risk for diabetes due to family history. Because this is a factor she cannot change, she understands her food choices and exercise are more important for her daily health maintenance than it might be for someone
...r you so it would be for the best if you approach other foods you consume with a similar approach as well as making sure you’re maintaining an active lifestyle
The assumption was that the diets were all received and eaten as ordered. For the
When the food had been brought to my table I could see that there wasn’t as much cheese as I would like for there to be, which also made my rice and chicken taste dry. As well as that problem, I had asked for no jalapenos in my meal but I got them anyway.
Bivariate Data Exploration Aim: The aim of this investigation is to see if there is a correlation between the engine size of a car and the insurance group that it resides in. Introduction: In our present day there is an ever-increasing public demand for value-for-money products and services, especially in cars, shopping and clothing markets. For students, this is even more important as everything they buy (unless they are particularly affluent) can easily amount to debt (through extensive student loans).
The diet that I am currently on is not as nutritious as it should be. By looking at the Dietary Recommended Intakes for my age and comparing it to my current dietary habits, I hav...
For years, I have been eating what I want. Food choices are a significant factor that affects our health. What we like or crave, often, is the determining variable in what we eat. Finding the right balance of food choices is the key factor in improving our health benefits. Choosing nutrient-dense foods will provide more nutritional value than foods that are found to be low in nutrient density. Making the right choices in foods, however, is extremely difficult. Often, I find myself enthralled in the latest fad, not considering the subtext of the foods I am eating, such as nutrients, vitamins, healthy fats and unhealthy fats, cholesterol and minerals. The diet project underlined a three-day food entry intake that provided a dietary analysis report
Thirdly, it's easier for you to switch to another diet plan just after you're done with 7 day cabbage soup diet recipe/ plan.
Learning to eat differently is no easy task for, especially when someone has eaten the same foods their whole life. It is even harder when the food you are transitioning to is not that appetizing. My uncle was now part of what author Michael Pollan calls the “omnivore’s dilemma.” My uncle knew he needed to eat healthy, but was left w...
Keeping track of what I ate for three days forced me to be held accountable. Few people realize just what they eat on a daily basis. Seeing the food log and the analysis helped me have a better understanding of what I put into my body and what my body needs on a daily basis as far as energy and nutrients. The analysis gave a summary for calories, food groups, and nutrients, both macro and micronutrients.
Since we have been learning about nutrition in class, our task was to record a food log. Nutrition requires a well-balanced diet containing nutrient and vitamins like amino acids and fatty acids. Over the past seven days I have been recording and have been looking very carefully at my intake of nutrients, minerals, vitamins, and fats. In our task, the objective was to record the basic foods we ate during the period of seven, but it did not require recording every single detail or our intake of food. Doing this food log was a pain and it was disturbing because I never wrote about what I ate like breakfast, lunch, dinner, or additional meals. I found this food log useful because it helped me learn what I can change in my intake of foods to make my diet healthy and to see what about my diet is affecting me from being healthy because I could affect me in the future.
One of the reason’s why I felt my nutrition needed to changes is because nutrition is a huge part of a healthy lifestyle, the way that we eat and what foods we consume can have a huge impact on our everyday lives. Nutrition plays a huge role in multiple facets of a person’s life energy, health, skin, weight, confidence, and more making having a good control on your eating habits extremely important. How we eat over the years and what foods we routinely choose to eat can eventually have a lasting effect on use and what we consider to be most appealing and appetizing at any given moment. Having these craving and routine habits makes eating, diet, and nutrition both a behavior and a lifestyle choice that can be changed over time with help from the theories learned in this class.
cabbage. One breadstick (grissino) or if not available, one Melba toast can be eaten as well. For fruits, one apple, a handful of strawberries or one-half grapefruit rounds out the meal. The fruit or breadstick can be eaten between meals, instead of during lunch or dinner, however, no more than four items on the list should be eaten at one meal. As for dinner, the same four choices should be used as lunch.
of your body. Food has a huge effect on your health, and a diet rich
While I was tracking my eating for these three days, I began to learn about the benefits of the food that I am eating and the nourishment that they provide for my body. I had never realized how big of a role that the food that I eat plays in my everyday life. Eating has never been something that I really think about it is just something that I do. After I looking at the data of what I eat on Choose My Plate, I realized that my eating habits are far from balanced and that I needed to work on bringing my eating habits to a better balance. While there are a lot of things that I have been doing right, there are also many things that I can work on.
