I help in completing the attached worksheet.

University of Phoenix Material
Diet and Weight Management
Activity #1
A) Choose a fast food meal that costs approximately $5.00. Complete the table below to summarize the major nutritional data about this meal.

Food Item
Calories
Calories from Fat
Total Fat (g)
Total Carb (g)
Total Protein (g)
% Daily Vitamin A
% Daily Vitamin C
% Daily Calcium
% Daily Iron

What is this meal high in?
What is this meal lacking or low in?

In the text, locate the formula to calculate your Estimated Energy Requirement (EER). Fill In the appropriate information in the fields below, and calculate your EER.
EER = __ - ( __ x __ ) + __ x ( __ x __ + __ x __) = __ kcal

Your EER estimates the amount of calories you need during one day to maintain your current weight.
1)The fast food meal supplies how many of your daily calories?
2)How many calories are you able to consume the rest of the day without gaining weight?

B) Assuming that the fast food meal cost $5.00, design a healthy meal alternative that you could make or purchase for the same amount of money or less. To complete this assignment, it may be necessary to visit a local supermarket to obtain the name and price of the items you select. If you select a food item that is sold only in multiportion packages, prorate the cost for the amount that you use; for example, a loaf of bread may cost $3.25, but contains many slices. Divide the cost of the loaf by the number of slices and include in the cost of your meal only the number of slices you use. You may purchase premade food or make your own, but you need to explain how it is nutritionally and economically superior to the fast food meal.

Complete the worksheet below to help you compare the fast food meal with a healthier alternative.
