Computer Analysis Project Analysis
Looking back at my Computer Analysis Project about my food intake, I found two major problems in my diet. The first problem is that I have high cholesterol. My intake of cholesterol is high. The DRI is < 300 mg and my intake is 357 mg. The percentage for my cholesterol is 118.9%. I didn’t expect that my cholesterol will be this high. Having high cholesterol can cause major health problems. It can cause you to have heart problems. There can be a blockage in the arteries. It is when the cholesterol blocks the blood going to the brain and heart. When there is to much fat and plague, it builds up on the walls of the arteries and becomes hardened.

Looking at the food that I consumed, In N Out has the most fat that I ate. The burger has 10 g. of saturated fat, which fast foods can cause a risk of heart disease. Fast Food has fats that are not unhealthy which can lead to many risks factors such as: cancer, obesity, heart disease, heart attacks, effects in the liver, and digestion problems. I will increase my cholesterol intake by reduces the fat and processed foods. I will buy fresh products and make the food at home instead of buying the processed food. Fish is not my favorite type of meat to eat, but I will eat more fish. Looking at my “Intake Compared to DRI View” I consumed 0.2 g of Omega-3 fatty acids. I need to consume at least 1.1 g. This shows me that I need to eat more fish or drink fish oil supplements. Fish is good for the brain because they clean the blood. There are less chances of getting strokes and blood clots in the
