Homework Assignment
AI Summary
This assignment involves a detailed nutritional analysis and comparison of Wendy's Grilled Chicken Sandwich and McDonald's McChicken. The student begins by calculating their Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR), total daily calorie requirements, and BMI based on personal data. They then determine their daily protein intake, and the percentage of calories from protein, carbohydrates, and fats. The core of the assignment focuses on comparing the two fast food products, examining their nutritional information (calories, macronutrients, sodium, cholesterol, fiber, and allergens), and comparing them to the student's dietary needs. The student assesses the number of servings from each food group according to Canada's Food Guide. The assignment concludes with a comparison of the two products, including observations about fat, vitamins, and allergens, and a reasoned conclusion about whether either product is a good dietary choice for the student based on their calculated needs and current health status. The student concludes that neither product is a good choice due to high sodium, calorie, and trans-fat content, as well as undesirable fat and cholesterol levels, especially given the student's obese BMI.
