Analysis of Protein Intake Activity

Protein Journal

Create a log of one day’s protein intake. 

Note the type of proteins that you consumed.

Were they complete or incomplete?

Did you make use of complementarily in any of your meals?

How many total grams did you eat?

Notice how many grams of fat are in the protein source you eat. How many saturated fats? Are there any unsaturated fats?

How does that compare to standard nutritional needs?

Did journaling your protein intake create an awareness of deficiencies or excesses in protein consumption?

Relate your intake to sound dietary practices. How does your daily intake compare? Can you do better, if so, how?

Document your sources and submit your journal to the Analysis of Protein Intake Activity dropbox.

Your grade will be determined in the following manner.
