Address your distribution of proteins throughout the day and howyour calculated protein RDA compares to an average person. Here arethe questions that you will need to address in your analysis:
•Were you surprised by your % Kcal from proteins? Explain why orwhy not.
•Was your protein intake consistent from day to day or did itvary based on the day of the week? If it was inconsistent, whatfactors may have influenced the change in your diet?
•Using the DRI table found at the back of your textbook on theDietary Reference Intakes (DRI) page, compare your protein RDA withthat of an average person of your age and gender. Compare youraverage intake in grams to your calculated RDA. Are the numberssimilar? If not, propose a possible explanation for thediscrepancy.
•How is your protein consumption distributed throughout theday?
•In your analysis, estimate your energy requirement (EER) basedon your current age, weight, height, and activity level by usingthe calculator at the EER Calculator link below, and compare it toyour Total Kcal average for the week. You will be reflecting onthis at the end of the semester.
•Is your average Kcalorie intake and calculated EER similar? Ifnot, propose a possible explanation for the discrepancy.
