Food Diary Questions

February 22, 2019 / / 0 Comments
  1. Looking at the CLASS DATA, what conclusions can you draw about the nutritional value of the meals/snack this group of students is consuming?
    • It appears that most students are getting enough protein, but surprisingly not receiving enough carbs which is very rare. I was surprised to see that most people were not getting enough carbohydrates in their diet because that is usually most common in foods. For fats, it seems that students were getting a mix between too much and too little for recommended daily amounts (RDA).
  2. Assuming the majority of the food consumed is from the Commons dining hall and/or other venues on campus, what suggestions do you have for the food service managers.
    • I would suggest having them make more balanced meals because it seems that things may have been protein and fat heavy with little amount of carbs. Maybe adding rice or potatoes to some of the meals will help balance out the amounts of protein and carbohydrates.
  3. What spices do you wish were available in the dining hall?  Are there nutrients in spices?
    • I don’t really eat at the dining hall much, but I would say that they need more salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Using those three things to season meats and vegetables makes the flavor so much better.
    • Yes, there are nutrients in spices and there are different amounts in nutrients depending on the spice.

 

Eagle Observation #2

February 21, 2019 / / 0 Comments

1:18 – 1:40

One of the birds is sitting on the nest brooding. Seems to be getting fidgety and looking around intently. Waiting for a nest exchange.

It looks like there is part of an eggshell in the nest.

Heard a little chick peeping for a minute.

Eagle is adjusting itself in the nest. Looks antsy and restless.

Can hear other birds in thew background and the eagle seems to be on high alert.

Eagle Observation #1

February 7, 2019 / / 0 Comments

11:16 a.m – 11:35 a.m

The eagle is incubating the eggs and seems to be breathing very fast and heavy, and seems distressed. It’s looking around intently.

Another eagle has flown into the nest for a nest exchange. The mom flew in and the dad flew away.

When mom flew to the nest, dad’s breathing slowed down.

Both of them stayed at the nest for a few minutes before dad flew away.

There are 2 eggs in the nest.

Eagle incubating in the nest seems very observant and aware of its surroundings.

It looks very windy and overcast outside, but the sun is starting to poke out.

Eagle got up from incubating the eggs and readjusted its position on the eggs. Is now shifting around making itself a comfortable incubating position. The eagle is taking material from nest in its beak and moving it closer to itself and the eggs.

The eagle got up again and is readjusting its position, it is bringing the eggs in closer to itself. The eagle is now fully readjusted and incubating again, moving more materials from the nest in closer to itself.
