Know what? I didn’t exercise today. Fancy that! You know what I did do…
- Physio lecture.
- Library study sesh.
- Phsysio lab.
- Starbucks study sesh.
- Human Nutrition exam.
- Science of Food lecture.
- Sit in the warm sunshine while waiting for the bus.
- Collapse on my bed –> 45 min. nap.
- Nutrition & Food Science Assoc. meeting
- Eat a bowl of beans.
Productive Monday – check. I may not have exercised my muscles heavily today, but I exercised my brain to exhaustion. I’ve got another packed day tomorrow, but overall this week isn’t as insane as was the previous. I’m clear of exams until…
Speaking of exams, I thought since I am a Nutrition major, and this blog supposedly focuses on nutritious eating, I thought I would share a few things that I learn in class from time to time. Sound good?
So, here’s a quiz for you:
1. What are the recommendations for percent of total calories from carbohydrate, protein, fat?
2. How many calories of energy/gram do each of the following provide: carbohydrate, protein, fat?
3. What is the leading cause of death in the U.S. today?
I’ll provide the answers in my next post : )
Today’s tasty start to the day:
~1/2 c. 0% Greek, 1/4 c. cereal, 1/4 c. homemade granola, 1/2 peach, 1/2 tsp. coconut
Artificial v. Natural [light].
Later, loves!
Hillary, your nutty nutritionista
Race Update:
I told ya’ll I’d update you with my official time from my weekend race. Well, the times were finally posted, but excuse me… I am not “Age: 33”. I called the event coordinator to make this known, and am now anxiously waiting for the corrected results [there were some other mishaps, too].
At this point…
Time: 1:18:49 – slightly slower than my watch
Place: 51/143 – small race!

on the bright side.
Tomorrow, I’ll be in the same boat…tons of class/studying and no time to run! But it’s ok to balance the exercise between brain and body :)
As for your quiz…
#1 not sure, I think I remember reading about 30/40/30?
#2 carb and protein are 4, fat is 9
#3 heart disease, or whatever the official name for the health problem which is the umbrella for all things related to being overweight (high BP, high cholesterol, type 2 diabetes, etc.)
Not so bad for a chemical engineer(ista) =P
Tasty snack for sure! :)
Great job on the race darling! :)
1. 40, 30, 30?
2. I have no idea.
3. Heart Disease
1. Oooh, okay, this one is tough to remember… I think: Carbohydrate: 40%, Protein: 30%, Fat: 10%
Ahh, I know that’s not right. I forget! Bad Nutrition major, bad Nutrition major!
2. Carbohydrate: 9, Protein: 4, Fat: 7
3. Obesity!
Awww, I like you asking those questions! I won’t play though, or I’ll give away the answers tee hee… fun though!
This brings back nutrition class memories! Hehe.
20-25% fat, 9 calories/gram
45-65% carb, 7 calories/gram
10-35% protein, 7 calories/gram
1) 50% carbs, 20-25% protein, and 15-20% fat
2) both carbs and protein provide 4g of energy and fat provides 9g
3) I would say heart disease.
what i would do for greek yogurt and some fruit right now…
I took Nutrition last year and I think it’s something like 65% carbs, 20% protein and 15% fat. Or at least fluctuating in that percentage range.
And the trick I learned with the amount of calories for each is the magic number… 494! It means 4kcal/g for carbs, 9 for fat and 4 for protein.
And lastly, I’m pretty sure it’s cardiovascular disease. I remember studying a lot of this from nutrition class! I loved it!
Hi girl! I just stumbled across your blog – I love it! You have so many great recipes. I have never once thought of putting yogurt with coconut! Definitely going to be tried out soon! =) Really looking foward to reading!
1. 60% carbs/25% fat/15% protein
2. 4 carb/9 fat/4 protein
3. Heart Disease!?
You should have more quizzes… for some reason they are more fun when you aren’t being graded :)
