Nutrition Portfolio Assignment

The three things I have learned from this class are the different classifications of vitamins (fat and water-soluble) and the importance of each vitamin. This course enabled me to learn about the energy nutrients; Fat, Carbohydrates, Protein, and Alcohol. Although, alcohol isn’t considered to be a nutrient because it interferes with the body’s growth, maintenance, and repair. Also the Renal Diet, from the class presentation assignment. Diets are used to be very essential and to also help with the treatment process.

Some of the personal nutritional habits I learned that I may look and feel healthy, but I’m really not eating healthy. After being introduced to the Diet Analysis Program using the My Plate Guide, I realized that I really need to watch what I eat regularly. I was eating way too many empty calories (165%) and protein (120%). I started to cut back on the soda beverages, and eating fewer sweets as snacks. Also, I added more grains and diary to my meals by drinking more milk, including the flavor milks instead of a soda.

I could expect to see my health improve by keep recording my daily food intake and stick to the My Plate guidelines. I really enjoyed learning ways to improve my health and eating habits. This class gave me a reality check about my diet and the importance of balancing my daily food intake to live a better eating lifestyle. As far lecture, I think using the PowerPoint slides was very beneficial to me on the exams, instead of writing all the time to take notes.

My dislikes about the course was the lack of class participation and possible activities during class for us to interact more as a class.
