DIET 3050 Lifespan Nutrition RUSH 2021 Lifespan DIET3050 - Choose Your Foods Lists Project: In-class practice- 1500 Calories Food Lists are used to calculate an eating plan for anyone requiring a certain calorie level and a specified amount: CHO, Pro, Fat. For people with diabetes, CHO is most important. Meal Plans are based on a person’s eating habits with improvements as needed. The Food Choice List System is an efficient way to identify lists food choices that contain approximately the same calories, CHO, protein, and fat. Flexible meal plans are the goal. Calculate a 1500 calorie diet using the following directions. Keep MyPlate food groups in mind to create a nutritionally balanced diet. Include 2 servings milk or equivalent and a variety of fruits, vegs, whole grains, proteins and healthy fats. 1. Calculate the desired calorie levels for the CHO, protein, and fat. CHO calories = 1500 × 45% = 675 cals from CHO Protein Calories = 1500 × 20% = 300 cals from Protein Fat calories = 1500 × 35% = 525 cals from Fat 2. Divide the calorie level for each nutrient by the appropriate factor to determine the number of grams for each macronutrient Divide CHO calories by 4 to = grams of CHO: 169 g CHO Divide Protein calories by 4 to = grams of Protein: 75 g Protein Divide Fat calories by 9 to = grams of Fat: 58 g Fat 3. Divide total grams of CHO (from 2, above) by 15 to obtain the number of CHO “Choices”. This number of choices will be distributed among these CHO-containing lists: a) Starches, b) Fruits, c) Milk and d) Veg, e) Sweets. 4 . Choices calculations : Using the number of grams for each nutrient you can begin to establish the number of choices from each Food List. Work on separate page before typing onto worksheet as you calculate numbers of “Choices”. a. Begin with CHO g. (from # 2 above) to determine the number of CHO Choices @ 15 grams each. 169 grams from CHO/15 = 11 CHO Choices.
DIET 3050 Lifespan Nutrition RUSH 2021 b. Transfer CHO Choices to the table and distribute them among the food groups. Use some starch, some fruit, some milk, vegs and other CHOs to build a balanced and varied diet. Begin with 2 cups milk for adults and 3-4 cups, depending on calories, for pregnant or lactating women and children/teens). a. Fill in ONLY the top portion of the table on the table with the grams of CHO, protein, and fat for the number of choices for each CHO Choice Food Group. Notice that you have used some protein and fat from the starch, veg. and milk choices 5. Subtotal grams of CHO, protein, and fat from the top portion of worksheet 6. PROTEIN : Now determine the number of protein choices you can use. b. Establish how many grams of protein remain for use: subtract the total amount of protein you have used up from the CHO-based choices from the total protein grams calculated in step 2, above. 75 total g of pro. – 37 total g pro. from CHO choices = 38g pro. Remaining. c. Divide this number by 7 (grams protein per protein choice). (letter a. above) 38g pro / 7 = 5 pro choices. Distribute these among the protein choices on the table. d. Fill in grams protein and fat used by the protein choices on the table. 7. Subtotal all grams CHO, protein, and fat on worksheet table. Add up all CHO, protein, and fat grams from carbohydrate and protein choices you have added to the worksheet. 8. FAT : Now determine the number of fat choices available. a. Establish the number of total fat grams used up so far and subtract this number from the total grams fat calculated for this diet in step 2. 58 total g of fat. – 25 total g fat from CHO & pro. = 33 g fat remaining Divide remaining number of fat grams by 5 (the grams of fat in one choice). 33 g fat remaining (letter a. above) / 5 = 7 fat choices. b. List the number of fat choices on the table below. c. Fill in grams of fat used by the fat choices on the table on the worksheet.

Add calories for any alcohol only after you have calculated the percentages. (Note: For this situation, no alcohol would be added as the client is pregnant.) DON’T LEAVE THIS NEXT PART OUT! 11a . Final adjustment : Determine whether to add/subtract choices, by comparing total grams of CHO, protein, and fat to the gram goal for these nutrients. This requires a decision on how to use any remaining g. of CHO, protein, or fat. For example, there may be CHO grams remaining. If so, you could add more CHO choices to come closer to the CHO goal. However, you should note that a fruit choice includes no protein or fat, whereas in adding a starch, you will need to calculate some protein as well as CHO. 11b .How many total calories did you calculate at the end of step 12? 1464 The goal is 1500 calories. How many more/less calories should you give? 36 11c . Which adjustments need to be made to the numbers in chart below? (. If the numbers calculated in the chart are based on #1 & #2, and done correctly, minimal adjustments should need to be made at the end). A . Insert the number of choices for the foods above in the worksheet below B. Calculate g.CHO, pro, fat & calories based on number of choices from each food group. C. In the columns for gm. of CHO, Protein and Fat, enter the grams from each Food Choice List Total. You must use your booklet for this information. D . At the bottom of the CHO, Protein and Fat Columns, determine calories and % of calories per nutrient Use smaller font as necessary to fit into the spaces. Use figures from CHOOSE YOUR FOODS Booklet- Use separate sheet for your own calculations if necessary Remember: 3 Veg. choices = 1 CH0 choice. You will enter either 3, 6 or 9 veg choices in chart
