Nutrition

 
Professors Instructions:
You should create your own personal profile based on age, gender and activity level; you may find the total energy need calculation information on page 380 of your textbook for 3rd edition and on page 400 for 4th edition. FYI-I have the 3rd addition and I can send you a picture of the total energy need calculation page if needed?. You can then calculate your standard RDA/DRI’s goal percentages (USDA Food Guide recommendation) for total amount calories, nutrients, minerals and vitamins. You can find this information in the appendix A of your textbook. Then, you should compare the choices you made in 2 days (your actual intake) to the USDA Food Guide recommendation for your age, gender and activity level. You should also calculate the percentage of calories coming from Protein, Fat, and Carbohydrate for your actual intake.
In the 2 day diet diary, after recording and comparing your data, you should answer the questions which are provided to you are on a separate sheet of paper. Your name and the date should be on the pages. All the forms and the report should be send through Blackboard by assignment link.
Your diet analysis and discussion will not be graded on how well you eat. That’s your responsibility. It will be graded on how well you discuss and analyze it.

Common Mistakes:
When recording your nutrient intake, ignore superscripts; values that read <1 = 0; tr (trace) = 0. Do not include more than one decimal column.
Be careful when adding columns, if you find that a nutrient is more than 150% of the DRI, recheck you math. Be precise using decimal points.
Do not get nutrient values off food labels, they are not complete. Look up the food or a similar food in

Appendix A of the text.
If you chose to do a computerized nutrient analysis, you must still complete forms 2, 3, and 4 and answer the questions.

Note: No reference NEEDED and theres a specific chart that needs to be used to input the information which I will attach.

Personal information: Age 33, Gender female, Height 5.4 and weight 180. My activity level is average. I usual eat boil eggs or cereal in the mornings with a cup of tea. My lunch consist of white tuna in water with a salad with tomatoes, cumbers, advacado and balsamic dressing with a bottle of water or bake or broil chicken with a vegetables. For dinner chicken breast with a salad and a bottle of water. Snack a pear or apple. If you have any further questions please feel free to contact me via email or cell.

Thinking Critically About Issues

 
What did you discover as you debated with your colleagues? Did you or a colleague uncover information that made you consider altering your position? Perhaps the debate helped you to realize how much more you need to know before you are completely clear about your position. As an education leader, you must stay abreast of the issues that matter in yourspecialization to deepen and refresh your knowledge regularly so you are well informed.
In this Discussion, you will look more closely at the case study issue you debated in Discussion 1. To prepare for this Discussion, consider everything you discovered about the case study. Conduct a search to obtain at least three scholarly articles that relate to the issue you debated. Finally, consider how the process of exploring and debating issues relates to your role as a change agent and advanced graduate degree student.
Keep in mind that the articles you obtain may support or refute the position you held in the debate, or they may introduce a different perspective altogether. Your purpose in this Discussion is to learn more about the issue you have been exploring.
Submit by Day 6 (of Module 2) a post that does the following:
• Explains what you discovered about the issue from the debate and from the resources you located for this Discussion.
• Identifies answers to the questions you have raised about the issue
• Identifies new questions you have about the issue.
• Explains how you might apply the critical analysis and research skills you have practiced this week to your role as a student and as a professional.

The context is the physical, social and cultural factors that “makes” your organisation what it is (e.g. external environmental factors, organisational dynamics, team work/collaboration, resources and leadership) and your interpretation of these factors that could affect the effectiveness and generalisability of intervention. Reference to the evidence-base will be useful…]

6. Objectives for the proposed quality improvement/change intervention 
[How you will achieve the proposed quality improvement/change intervention – S.M.A.R.T. statements defining measurable outcomes. These can be “listed” in your assignment. Reference to the evidence- base will be useful…]
7. Study, measures and evaluation for the proposed quality improvement/change intervention 
[Approach chosen for critically analysing and assessing the impact of the quality improvement/change intervention, including your approach to ensure the outcomes will be due to the intervention. This should include the measures chosen for studying the processes and outcomes of the intervention, including the rationale for choosing them, operational definitions, validity and reliability, approach to ongoing assessment and methods to ensure the completeness and accuracy of data collected. Reference to the evidence-base will be useful…]
8. Ethical considerations 
[Any ethical aspects of implementing and studying the proposed quality improvement/change intervention and how these will be addressed, potentially including formal ethics review and conflicts of interest. Reference to the evidence-base will be useful…]
9. Limitations
