Diet Analysis
- Level: Middle-High School
- Topic: Gastrointestinal Physiology
Description:
The purpose of this lab is for students to analyze their existing diets for appropriate levels of proteins, fats, and carbohydrates as well as for vitamin and mineral content. Each student will then develop an improved dietary plan that addresses areas where they are deficient. Upon completion of this lab each student will be able to: understand the role of fats, proteins, and carbohydrates as energy sources; determine a proper ratio of fats, proteins, and carbohydrates in their diet; identify health concerns related to inadequate nutrition; identify ways to decrease the amount of fat in the diet; and design a well balanced diet.
