Protein

Introduction

Protein is a crucial part of your diet, regardless of your activity level. Protein is found in your muscles, bones, hair, skin, and fingernails. Proteins also play important roles in facilitating chemical reactions, regulating body functions, maintaining fluid balance, promoting the immune system, and clotting blood. However, it is possible to consume too much protein.

In this activity, you will compare your level of protein intake to the accepted recommendations and consider how your consumption of protein affects your health.

This activity can be completed using the AnalyzeMyDiet tracker from within your LaunchPad course. Click on the AnalyzeMyDiet link found on your LaunchPad home screen.

To complete the activity using AnalyzeMyDiet:

  • If you have not already completed the AnalyzeMyDiet Tutorial and tracked at least one day’s nutrition and activity, do so first.
  • Within AnalyzeMyDiet, go to the Reports tab.
    • Select “Bar Graph” on the left.
    • Select the day(s) that are representative of your typical diet or as specified by your instructor.
    • Click “Show Report” to download your report.
  • Repeat the above steps for the “Calories Assessment” report.

For more instructions and help using the AnalyzeMyDiet Tool, please visit the help page.

7.1 Build Your Grid

For this activity you will need two reports: Calorie Assessment and Bar Graph. These reports can be accessed individually or as part of the Combination Report in AnalyzeMyDiet.

Use the Calorie Assessment report to find your data and enter it into the grid below using only numerical values and decimal points (if needed).

Use the Bar Graph report to find your data and enter it into the grid below using only numerical values and decimal points (if needed).

Enter your weight in pounds in the table below. This can be found at the top of your Recommendations report or in your AnalyzeMyDiet profile. Your weight will be used to calculate your personal Dietary Reference Intake (DRI) for protein.
