Answer 1

The My Diet Analysis programme is meant to provide a better understanding of recommended nutrition guidelines by applying the scientific method. The project includes a hypothesis regarding actual consumption versus recommendations.

Here I am planning to create a one day diet for MyDietAnalysis program.

Breakfast (287 calories)

• 1 cup bran cereal
• 1 cup skim milk
• 1/2 cup blueberries

A.M. Snack (95 calories)

• 1 medium apple

Lunch (325 calories)

• 1 serving Veggie-Hummus Sandwich

P.M. Snack (80 calories)

• 3/4 medium red bell pepper, sliced
• 2 Tbsp. hummus

Dinner (426 calories)

• 2 cups Roasted Tofu & Peanut Noodle Salad

A healthy diet plan according to tp My diet Analysis may help to prevent certain serious diseases such as heart disease, stroke, and diabetes. It may also help to reduce your risk of developing some cancers. If may become sick, eating a healthy diet may help to recover more quickly. Also, the main way of preventing obesity and overweight is to eat a healthy diet.

2, Other than the above-mentioned diet, most days I am engaging in the physical activity like brisk walking, jogging, swimming, cycling, dancing, badminton, tennis, etc up to 30-45 minutes. The normal activities that are part of my daily routine (everyday activities).

Any kind of aerobic activities that makes the heart and lungs work harder. To gain health benefits, government experts in the UK suggest that you should do at least 30 minutes of moderate intensity physical activity on most days of the week.

3. In order to maintain health and prevent disease, we have to include 5 servings of fruits and vegetables every day. Choose low fat-diary and lean meat options.

The accuracy of the My diet Analysis depends upon my ability to estimate portion size as well as ingredients in food that I did not prepare. while preparing a Perfect Day instead of 3-day helps in planning to add different types of food items in my diet thus I can gain all type of nutrients from the different meal plan.

The main barrier behind the planning of diet is its cost and timing of preparation. To overcome this barrier we have to plan a diet that is cheap and available at all times should be select and while selecting a food item for preparation we have to choose an item that needs less preparation time should be select thus we can over these barriers and plan for healthy eating.
