Purpose

To use restaurant-based resources (nutrition facts/guides) to determine the best possible choices while dining out.

 

Process

 

This is a group project composed of 3 to 4 individuals.

 

If you have made a connection in our class and already know who will be in your group, register yourself in Brightspace D2L by Thursday, October 29^th by 11:59 pm. How? Instructions included in step 1. If you do not have a group, your instructor will assign you to a group shortly after Oct 29^th, 2020.

Your final group projectwill be presented in the form of a PPT outlining:

• Your group’s restaurant of choice
• 3 items selected to form meal 1 from the restaurant (feel free toselecta high fat, high sodium and high sugar options)
• All calculation specific to meal 1(calculation worksheet provided and must be included in your final submission)
• 3 new itemsfrom meal 2 from the same restaurant (be mindful of your choices as they need to meet the criteria as outlined by your instructor)
• All calculations specific to meal 2 (calculation worksheet provided and must be included in your final submission)
• Any graphics you wish toadd (optional)
• A descriptive statement ofthe antioxidants found in meal 2(use evidence-based source and ensure to include it in the reference)
• Any recommended adaptations/substitutions specific to meal 2, as youwork through meeting all criteria
• Yourreferences(include the restaurant’s menu, the restaurant’s nutritional analysis plus any other sites used such as those for the antioxidant descriptive statement)

Step 1:

• Register your name in a group by October 29^th, 2020 by 11:59 pm online in Brightspace, steps:

1. Click ‘My Tools’
2. Select ‘Groups’
3. Open ‘View Available Groups’
4. Look for an open 0/4 group (or join your group if you know which group# was already initiated by your group members)
5. Click ‘Join Group’
6. Let your fellow group members know which group you have joined so they join the same group #

Please note, once you join a group, you can no longer “view [the] available groups”, that is, go back to the previous page. As well, as a student,you do not have the option to add your classmates –therefore once you join, let your fellow group members know which group # you joined so they follow and join the same group.

• As a group, establish your meeting times, method of communication and method of sharing work (goggle documents is highly recommended)
  • Determinetherestaurantyou will be reporting on
  • Within your group, review the restaurant’s menu and select Meal 1which mustinclude:
    • A non-waterbeverage
    • Appetizer or Dessert
    • Entrée – including any condiments that go with themeal
  • Using the nutritional information provided by your restaurant, calculate the nutritional content of Meal 1 – focusing on the following criteria and using the calculation worksheet provided by the instructor:
    • Totalkcal
    • % of calories fromfat
    • % of calories fromcarbohydrates
    • % of calories fromprotein
    • grams offibre
    • mg ofcalcium
    • mg ofsodium
    • mg ofiron

 

Step 2

• Next, select 3 new items, from the same restaurant, and create a new meal –called Meal 2, yet meeting the following healthier standards and using the same calculation worksheet:
  • 1000 or fewerkcal
  • Total Fat – contributing 35% or less of totalkcal
  • Carbohydrates – minimum 45% of totalkcal
  • Protein – minimum 10% of total kcal
  • Sodium – contributing 1500 mg or less
  • Fibre – contributing 5 g or more

 

• Calcium – contributing 200 mg or more
• Iron – contributing 2 mg ormore
• Contains all foodgroupsas per Canada’s Food Guide
• A descriptivestatement on 3 antioxidant rich foods in your meal
• If after careful evaluation, you feel certain standards were absolutely impossible to meet, describe your best planon how you would best achieve this standard given what your knowledge in nutrition
