Key Concepts

Food Diary

A food diary is a structured record where one lists all the foods and beverages consumed over a specific period. It serves as a personal log to help monitor dietary habits, understand eating patterns, and provide data for further nutritional analysis.

Calorie Tracking

Calorie tracking involves counting and recording the estimated energy content—measured in calories—present in each food item consumed. This practice helps individuals monitor their energy intake to manage weight, ensure balanced nutrition, or meet specific dietary goals.

Nutritional Analysis

Nutritional analysis is the process of examining the composition of foods, including calorie content, macronutrients, and micronutrients. It is essential for assessing the overall quality of a diet and making informed decisions about food choices.

Online Nutrition Tools

Online nutrition tools, such as calorie calculators, are digital resources that facilitate the estimation of calories and nutrient values in foods. These tools help streamline the process of food tracking and nutritional analysis by providing quick and accessible calculations.

Transcript

00:01 So for this question, you're asked to use a specific website to calculate the calories of all the foods you ate the day before.

00:07 So for instance, for breakfast i had three fried eggs, about one cup of almond milk, and one cup of cheerios.

00:29 Then i looked this up in the website, and so i typed in egg, and then it gave me a list, and so i picked whole eggs that are fried, and each one has 196 calories, but i had three, so i'm going to take this times three.

00:49 And then one cup of almond milk, again you type in almond milk, it comes out with different varieties.

00:53 Mine was unsweetened, which came out to 39 calories.

00:59 And then i type in one cup of cheerios, which again it has a bunch of different types of cereal, and then one cup of cheerios was 105 calories.

01:11 So in total for breakfast i had 732 calories.

01:20 Now we'll do lunch.

01:23 I had a mango, and then i had chicken and rice with some spinach.

01:35 I typed in mango, it came up specifically it was a raw whole mango, which was 201 calories.

01:42 Then i typed in chicken, again when i type in chicken it comes up with different parts of the chicken, and specifically how you cook it.

01:50 Mine was just chicken breast, and it was about half a breast, however they give you the calories for one breast, which is 552.

01:59 I only had half a breast, so we'll take it times half.

02:04 And then rice, right, i had several options.

02:06 Mine was white rice, that was an instant rice, and so it said one cup was 361 calories.

02:17 I had about half a cup, so i'll take it times half.

02:20 And then the spinach, again it comes up with different, whether it's raw, how you cook it, etc.

02:24 Mine was chopped frozen spinach that i heated up.

02:30 It had about 10 ounces, was 82 calories.

02:37 I had about three ounces, so we'll take this times a third.

02:42 So then we add all those together to get the total calories for lunch.

02:47 So 201 plus 552 times a half plus 361 times a half plus 82 times a third was about 682 calories...
