1. What is your daily intake of cholesterol in mg? Is your daily intake of saturated fat greater than 10% of your total calories? If your intake is higher than 300mg of cholesterol or total saturated fat is higher than 10%, what foods from your diet contributes the most cholesterol and saturated fat? How can a person lower their intake of saturated fat and cholesterol (chapter 5).

2. Add the percentages of kcal from carbohydrate, protein, and fat together. Does the result add up to 100%? If your total is not 100%, and your calculation is off by more than 2%, recalculate the percentages of calories from carbohydrate, protein and fat. The percentages should be 100% or within a percent or two of 100%. Also if your food intake record include alcohol, this may also account for the discrepancy and you should indicate as such.

3. Did your intake of carbohydrate, protein and fat fall within Accepted Macronutrient Distribution range (AMDR – Chapter 2)? If not, list the macronutrient that is below or above the recommended intake.

4. How many grams of fiber did you eat in one day? How many grams of fiber is recommended for you? Does your intake meet your recommended intake? If not list three specific foods that are high in fiber, the serving size and amount of fiber in each that you can add to your diet to meet your need for the day.

5. Are there any vitamins that you consume less than 50% of your recommended intake? If so list them.

1. YOU MUST ANSWER ALL PARTS OF THIS QUESTION THAT APPLIES TO YOU TO GET FULL CREDIT. What is your sodium intake per day? List the top three foods in your diet that most of your sodium is coming from. List the amount of sodium in each of your top three foods. Click the + sign next to sodium to see your top three foods that contribute the most sodium to your diet. Does your intake of sodium less than 2300mg per day? If your sodium is less than 2300mg per day and you consume the same or more calories than the recommended intake, explain why your sodium level is low. If your sodium level is below 2300mg per day and your total calories is less than the recommended intake, Explain what would happen to your sodium intake if you consume the recommended intake of calories, then list three foods that are low in sodium (less than 100mg per serving), the serving size and the amount of sodium in each food. If your sodium level is more than 2300mg per day, list three foods that are low in sodium (less than 100mg per serving) that you could have eaten. List serving size and amount of sodium in each of your low sodium list you would eat.

2. What is your total intake of potassium for the day? Does your daily intake of potassium fall within the normal limit of 4,700 mg per day? List at least three foods that are high in potassium, and the amount you would need to eat to meet your daily need for potassium for the day. List amount of potassium in each food.

3. What is the immediate health consequence of a diet that is high in sodium (salt) but low in potassium? Be thoughtful with your response. You should read more about it in the chapter that discusses these two minerals in your textbook. If you write death, or heart attack, you will be incorrect and get a zero.

4. What is your impression regarding your nutrition health based on what you ate and the analysis of your diet? Is there anything that you would change? Do you believe that if you eat like this every day, you are practicing good nutrition health? If so, why? If not, why? Be specific with your response. Provide example of what you might change or how you can continue to maintain good nutrition health. Your response is not your opinion but should be based on everything you have learned about staying healthy with proper foods and lifestyle.

You must proofread your paper. But do not strictly rely on your computer’s spell-checker and grammar-checker; failure to do so indicates a lack of effort on your part and you can expect your grade to suffer accordingly. Papers with numerous misspelled words and grammatical mistakes will be penalized. Read over your paper – in silence and then aloud – before handing it in and make corrections as necessary. Often it is advantageous to have a friend proofread your paper for obvious errors. Handwritten corrections are preferable to uncorrected mistakes.

Use a standard 10 to 12 point (10 to 12 characters per inch) typeface. Smaller or compressed type and papers with small margins or single-spacing are hard to read. It is better to let your essay run over the recommended number of pages than to try to compress it into fewer pages.

Likewise, large type, large margins, large indentations, triple-spacing, increased leading (space between lines), increased kerning (space between letters), and any other such attempts at “padding” to increase the length of a paper are unacceptable, wasteful of trees, and will not fool your professor.

The paper must be neatly formatted, double-spaced with a one-inch margin on the top, bottom, and sides of each page. When submitting hard copy, be sure to use white paper and print out using dark ink. If it is hard to read your essay, it will also be hard to follow your argument.

ADDITIONAL INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE CLASS

Discussion Questions (DQ)

Initial responses to the DQ should address all components of the questions asked, include a minimum of one scholarly source, and be at least 250 words.
Successful responses are substantive (i.e., add something new to the discussion, engage others in the discussion, well-developed idea) and include at least one scholarly source.
One or two sentence responses, simple statements of agreement or “good post,” and responses that are off-topic will not count as substantive. Substantive responses should be at least 150 words.
I encourage you to incorporate the readings from the week (as applicable) into your responses.
Weekly Participation

Your initial responses to the mandatory DQ do not count toward participation and are graded separately.
In addition to the DQ responses, you must post at least one reply to peers (or me) on three separate days, for a total of three replies.
Participation posts do not require a scholarly source/citation (unless you cite someone else’s work).
Part of your weekly participation includes viewing the weekly announcement and attesting to watching it in the comments. These announcements are made to ensure you understand everything that is due during the week.
APA Format and Writing Quality

Familiarize yourself with APA format and practice using it correctly. It is used for most writing assignments for your degree. Visit the Writing Center in the Student Success Center, under the Resources tab in LoudCloud for APA paper templates, citation examples, tips, etc. Points will be deducted for poor use of APA format or absence of APA format (if required).
Cite all sources of information! When in doubt, cite the source. Paraphrasing also requires a citation.
I highly recommend using the APA Publication Manual, 6th edition.
Use of Direct Quotes

I discourage overutilization of direct quotes in DQs and assignments at the Masters’ level and deduct points accordingly.
As Masters’ level students, it is important that you be able to critically analyze and interpret information from journal articles and other resources. Simply restating someone else’s words does not demonstrate an understanding of the content or critical analysis of the content.
It is best to paraphrase content and cite your source.
LopesWrite Policy

For assignments that need to be submitted to LopesWrite, please be sure you have received your report and Similarity Index (SI) percentage BEFORE you do a “final submit” to me.
Once you have received your report, please review it. This report will show you grammatical, punctuation, and spelling errors that can easily be fixed. Take the extra few minutes to review instead of getting counted off for these mistakes.
Review your similarities. Did you forget to cite something? Did you not paraphrase well enough? Is your paper made up of someone else’s thoughts more than your own?
Visit the Writing Center in the Student Success Center, under the Resources tab in LoudCloud for tips on improving your paper and SI score.
Late Policy

The university’s policy on late assignments is 10% penalty PER DAY LATE. This also applies to late DQ replies.
Please communicate with me if you anticipate having to submit an assignment late. I am happy to be flexible, with advance notice. We may be able to work out an extension based on extenuating circumstances.
If you do not communicate with me before submitting an assignment late, the GCU late policy will be in effect.
I do not accept assignments that are two or more weeks late unless we have worked out an extension.
As per policy, no assignments are accepted after the last day of class. Any assignment submitted after midnight on the last day of class will not be accepted for grading.
Communication

Communication is so very important. There are multiple ways to communicate with me:
Questions to Instructor Forum: This is a great place to ask course content or assignment questions. If you have a question, there is a good chance one of your peers does as well. This is a public forum for the class.
Individual Forum: This is a private forum to ask me questions or send me messages. This will be checked at least once every 24 hours.
