Science Complete Assignment (Nutrition)

Unit 4 Assignment Nutrient Tables (STEP 3)

To complete these tables, please have your Nutrition Report available (report from Trends – Nutrition Report on Cronometer). The shaded table cells are the sections you’ll need to enter your information.

See the sample assignment for an example. Also, feel free to ask questions via the Ask the Professor discussion board or through email.

Table 1: Calories (Energy)

Use the "Energy Summary” circles on your Nutrition Report to fill in this table. Make sure to include “Remaining” or “Over” with your numerical answer in the third column. (Example: 304 calories over)

Calories Consumed	Calories Burned	Remaining/Over

Table 2: Percent of Nutrients from Each Macronutrient

You will need to be in your active Nutrition Report in the open Cronometer website to obtain the three nutrient percentages needed for your table below (gray boxes). To get the percent values, hover over the blue (carbohydrates), red (fat), or protein (green) sections of the “Consumed” circle in the “Energy Summary” section of your “live” Nutrition report.

Be sure to add up the three percentages to make sure they equal 100%. Your total may be slightly over or under due to rounding (or under 100% due to inclusion of alcohol in your original Cronometer entries). Enter the sum of percentages of total calories from carbohydrates, fat, and protein into the fourth-row middle column.

Nutrient	Percent of Total Calories	AMDR
Carbohydrates	%	45 – 65%
Fat	%	20 – 35%
Protein	%	10 – 35%
Total:	= %

Table 3: Micronutrients

To complete this table, you will use your Cronometer report as well as the RDA/AI and Tolerable Upper Limit information available at the following links. Your ‘Average Intake’ will come from the Cronometer report.

The RDA/AI column information will come from the links labeled with “RDA/AI” except for Vitamin D.

For Vitamin D, the units from Cronometer do not match the RDA/AI units found in the link below. While this is the most recent publication for RDA/AIs, presently IUs are the preferable measurement for vitamin D. As a result, Cronometer provides the results in IUs for this vitamin. Use the following reference:

Vitamin D – RDA 600 IU for males and females

The Tolerable Upper Intake Level column information will come from the links labeled with “Tolerable Upper Limits.”

Vitamins RDA/AI (RDA/AI column in the table below)

· Note: Vitamin D is not in the same unit of measurement as the Cronometer Nutrition Report. Please us 600 IU in the RDA/AI column.

Vitamins Tolerable Upper Limits (Tolerable Upper Limit column in the table below)

· Note: Vitamin D is not in the same unit of measurement as the Cronometer Nutrition Report. Please us 4000 IU in the Tolerable Upper Intake Level column.

Minerals RDA/AI (RDA/AI column in the table below)

· Note: Copper is not in the same unit of measurement as the Cronometer Nutrition Report. Please convert the RDA/AI to mg by dividing the RDA/AI from the link by 1000 to obtain the information in mg.

Minerals Tolerable Upper Limits (Tolerable Upper Limit column in the table below)

· Note: The phosphorus Tolerable Upper Intake Level is in grams. Please multiply by 1000 to obtain the correct information in the same measurement unit. Example: 4 g x 1000 = 4,000 mg.
