NUTD101 Introduction To Nutrition Task description

For this assessment task, you will analyse a client’s three-day food and fluid diary and interpret the findings using FoodWorks, a computerised nutrient analysis program. This assessment has two parts: 1) a 3-day food diary analysis using FoodWorks; and 2) a report interpreting the FoodWorks output with respect to the Australian Dietary Guidelines and the Nutrient Reference Values. You will support your work with evidence-based findings.

Part A – FoodWorks output

You are required to enter a 3-day food and drink diary using FoodWorks, a computerised nutrient analysis program. You will analyse Charlotte’s food diary, calculate the food and nutrient intake, assess the nutrition profile, and make recommendations using a peer-reviewed, evidence- based approach. More information about Charlotte is provided in Appendix 1.

You will enter the 3-day diary into one food record and interpret the average of the 3 days. The FoodWorks analyses are to be attached to your assignment as an appendix at the end of your report. It should include:

  • 3-day food record
  • Nutritional analysis which includes the EAR, AI, UL, RDI, SDTs and Ratio energy from protein, fat, carbohydrates, fibre and alcohol
  • Recipes including nutritional analysis.

Part B: Written text (interpretation of data)

For this part, you are required to interpret the FoodWorks output (Part A) with respect to the

Australian Dietary Guidelines and the Nutrient Reference Values (NRV’s), and specific nutrients.

You will need to respond to the following 5 parts in paragraph form. Each response requires in-text referencing. The word count is a guide only.

Paragraph 1 (150-200 words)

Using a table, compare your client’s food intake against the Australian Guide to Healthy Eating’s “Recommended Number of Serves for Adults” then discuss whether your client is meeting recommendations and what foods or drinks are contributing/not contributing to these recommendations.

Paragraph 2 (250-300 words)

Compare your FoodWorks analysis against the Nutrient Reference Values to:

  1. Assess whether your client is in energy balance and discuss any implications of this.
  2. Identify whether your client is at any risk of any nutritional deficiencies or excesses and consider the implications of these deficiencies or excesses. Discuss how the foods in the diet are contributing to these deficiencies or excesses.

Paragraph 3 (200-300 words)

  1. Prepare a table comparing carbohydrate, protein, and fat intake (including saturated fat) as a % contribution to total energy intake against the Acceptable Macronutrient Distribution Ranges (AMDRs). See Appendix 2, Table 1 which can be used as a template.
  2. Select the appropriate carbohydrate and protein requirements based on your client’s activity levels. Prepare a table comparing the client’s carbohydrate and protein intake expressed as g/kg BW/day against your selected requirements. See Appendix 2, Table 2, 3 & 4.
  3. Discuss whether the client meets the recommendations for carbohydrate and protein intake with respect to the AMDRs the recommendations identified in part b). What are the implications of not meeting these recommendations?

Use peer-reviewed evidence to support your claims (e.g. references from websites are not permitted, unless they are government or peak body).

Paragraph 4 (50-100 words)

Using the Schofield equation and the information contained in Appendix 3, calculate the client’s daily energy requirements (showing the appropriate working and units). Justify the activity factor you selected.

  • Schofield (1985) RMR in MJ

Males 18-30 years: 0.063 (wt) + 2.896; Males 31-60 years: 0.048 (wt) + 3.653

Females 18-30 years: 0.062 (wt) + 2.036; Females 31-60: 0.034 (wt) + 3.538

Paragraph 5 (200-300 words)

Make 5 food/drink modifications based on your food diary that could improve your overall nutritional status. Each claim must be supported with nutritional reasoning using peer-reviewed journal references to support your claims (references from websites are not permitted, unless government or peak body,). Make your recommendations foodbased, not nutrient-based. Use

peer-reviewed evidence to support your claims (references from websites are not permitted, unless government or peak body).

Notes:

  • The food record should be entered as a single record and reflect the average intake over 3 days
  • The analysis should be attached as an appendix (the last part of the report). You can use a PDF combiner to combine your documents.
  • The tables will contribute to your word count.

Submission requirements

Your submission requires:

  1. A cover sheet that includes:
    1. your full name and student ID number
    1. subject code and title
    1. assessment title
    1. word count including in-text citations, excluding reference list and appendices

Appendix 3: Calculating daily energy requirements: Schofield equation Step 1

To calculate Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR) in MJ (megajoules = 1000kJ)/day, use the appropriate equation in Table 1. You need gender, age, and weight for this equation.

Table 1: Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR) in MJ/day (Schofield Equation)

 Age (years)Equation = BMR
  Men18– 30(0.063 x wt) + 2.896
30– 60(0.048 x wt) + 3.653
  Women18– 30(0.062 x wt) + 2.036
30– 60(0.034 x wt) + 3.538
NUTD101 Introduction To Nutrition

*Schofield et al. (1985)

Step 2:

To calculate average daily energy expenditure, you need to determine level of activity (use the average value), in Table 2, then express this as a multiple of BMR.
