Food for Energy

Food for Energy

The kitchen may be the one room in which most people are most aware of the different systems and units of measurements used in the house and around the world. In the United States (U.S.), milk is bought by the gallon, sugar by the pound, soda by the liter, and cereal by the ounce. After you unpack your groceries you store some in the freezer at 0°F or indulge in a snack by baking a treat in your preheated oven at 350°F. As you can see, you can encounter many different units of measure just in the kitchen.

The amount of energy in a food can also be measured as calories. Humans need food for energy. There is a relationship between the amount of energy we take in and the energy we expend every day. Eating foods from all food groups is important, but how do you decide what to eat? Each meal should be evaluated to include the proper food groups and nutrients.

To start this week’s Discussion, review the information found at the website below and address the following questions:

Choose MyPlate. (n.d.). Retrieved December 15, 2016, from https://www.choosemyplate.gov/

  1. Why do different people require different amounts of food and therefore energy? Identify the daily recommended caloric intake for your age and sex.
  2. Calories are simply a form of measurement. Choose your favorite food and provide the caloric information for 1 serving. Then provide an example of the amount of an activity needed to burn off that much energy.
  3. What food groups are necessary for a balanced meal? How do your measure a portion?
  4. Culture, personal experience and the environment impact human health. Provide an example of how children or adults make food choices unrelated to their body’s needs?
  5. Childhood obesity is an increasing problem in the United States. Propose a way to educate children about food choices and how food can impact their health.

Remember, the word community can be used to describe a great deal more than the geographic “community” or town that you reside in.

Be sure to read chapter 1 in your textbook before writing your paper – particularly note the sections related to the definition and description of “community.” Your communities might include your ethnic community, social community, occupational community, neighborhood community, etc. For example, you may be part of a nursing community (occupational) – you would describe how this community affects your health. You might also be a part of a church community, school community, sports community, hobby enthusiast community, etc. Give this some thought before you begin to write your paper!
