This assignment addresses the following learning objective:
Construct a daily meal plan that ensures optimal methyl donor consumption for epigenetic health.
Design a 2000 calorie/day, 3-day meal plan that meets the USDA Dietary Guidelines recommendations while maximizing intake of methyls to keep your DNA healthy.
Use website/app tools to calculate macronutrient and micronutrient contents noted below for each day in your meal plan (USDA ChooseMyPlate, FoodProcessor, MyFitnessPal, Spark People Calorie Counter, Cron-o-meter, TheRightTrack , NutritionValue.org, or other calculator). You are NOT expected to buy an app for this assignment. There are plenty of free resources online for both macro- and micronutrient calculations for your daily meal plans.
Cite the method(s) or resource(s) that you use below your 3-day meal plan in-text and in your references list.
Content Instructions:
Label each day with a title that includes the consecutive day (e.g. 1, 2, 3)
Provide a list of foods and amounts to be consumed at each meal and/or snack. Label each the meals and snacks accordingly. All foods must be described in a way that someone could create the items with appropriate cooking methods. For example, if you don’t specify “grilled” a reader might think that they can deep-fry foods instead which might drastically change the nutritional content of the meal plan.”
Include DAILY kcal amounts (number of kcal NOT %) for the following macronutrients: protein, fat, carbohydrate, sugar. Include the total grams of fiber for each day.Add up the total in each category for each day of the 3 days (e.g., for 1 day you might have 260 kcal protein, 540 kcal from fat, 1200 kcal from carbohydrate, 320 kcal from sugar, and 25g of fiber)
Include DAILY intake (weight, NOT %) of the following micronutrients: folate, vitamin B12, niacin, thiamin, riboflavin.Add up the total micronutrient weight amounts for each of the 3 days. These weight amounts will be in units of milligrams (mg) or micrograms (mcg, ug), depending on the micronutrient.
Summary: Briefly explain (200-300 words) why you chose the foods that you did and how they will contribute to methyl donation for epigenetic regulation. Also, please describe how and why dietary approaches might help improve health by using specific examples you have learned about so far in this class. This can be done as one summary for all three days rather than for each individual day.
Submit your meal plan as a Word, PDF, or PPT attachment.
Grading: See the attached rubric for specific assignment grading criteria. Instructor will not grade Summary text beyond 300 words. Submissions of less than 200 words will be penalized 5 points.
