BIOL1123 Tennessee Tech University Macronutrients and Diet Diary Project Please do the second chart pretending to be me and put down an imaginary 1 day of food intake BIOL 1123 Macronutrients & Your Diet – “Diet Diary” – Pre-Lab Assignment =
Completed Diet Diary (pages 1-2); print and bring those pages along with the remainder
of this document to lab. We will complete this worksheet in lab. Please bring your
laptop.
1. Keep track and list everything you eat for an entire day on page. EVERYTHING! Including
snacks, drinks, etc. It will be most helpful to you if it’s “typical” day.
2. For each food item fill in the chart. Identify the macromolecules in that food.
3. Using the resources on the last page, identify the calories for each macromolecule in the
food, and complete the last row.
4. Please note: You will be graded on the completion of the sheet, and the evidence for
your answers – NOT ON YOUR DIET! This is about biology, food, and interpreting
information, not an assessment of your personal food choices. If you think a question is
too personal, leave it blank. If you have any questions, ask your instructor in lab or via
email.
