Nutrition

Thanks, I was just confused as to why glycogen (found in animal muscle tissue) is listed under polysaccharides. After checking some numbers and the Appendix, I figured it out.
Now I feel silly.

Dont feel silly. Food is complicated. :wink2: I guess it has to be to work in our complicated bodies.

I am taking nutrition right now. I am enjoying it a lot. My class has been in session since August and it will be over at the end of October. I have learned a ton of information. It for sure has changed my eating habits. We had to track our eating habits for 3 days and then we have to write a 10 page paper about it answering various questions the instructor has for us. It is so eye opening!

i'm taking it! we're already into chapter 5 (which is all about lipids) and it's just starting to get more interesting. we also have a project where we have to write down everything we eat or drink (excluding water) and calculate our caloic intake and all of that fun stuff...i like the class. :)

Are you using a Dietary Analysis CD? I am in Chapter 4 (Carbs) and have started tracking this week. Good luck to you! :wink2:

Do not stress yourself out. You will be fine because you are a hard worker and a studier. :wink2:

Thank you!!! I appriciate your encouragement. I think it would be much harder to get into this stuff if I didnt love it soooo much. I dont even like reading most things, but I do my class material.

Hey Nutrition Club!!! Did everyone leave??? How is class going for everyone. We had our second exam Thursday. I think I did good on it.

HI!!! A few weeks ago I finished monitoring my food intake for my semester long project. That was an arduous experience because you have to be exact (1 cup of blah, which has blah in it). I thought the Diet CD would be a lot of help and to a degree it is since it will store and report data, but it was no help in inputing foods it did not already have in its database. At one point I wanted to stop eating!!! Anyway, that is over now and so I am in the analysis phase (doing calculations).

I have had two quizzes and submitted a few homework assignments, essays, and case studies, all of which I have done well. I am continuing to work on my project and gearing up for my midterm exam. Is the semester half way over yet?

How is everyone else doing? I noticed we have a lot of lurkers but not many posters. Share your pain, Lurkers. :lol2:
