Nutrition Assignment

5th Grade students,
   Here is the Nutrition Project that will be due on the day of your Nutrition Test.  I will tell you that exact date during your next class.

Last class we did an activity where we selected a meal from an online menu and saw how many calories it contained.  You are going to find the nutrional information of your own meal.  
1) Go to a restaurant website or go get a nutritional sheet for an actual restuarant (for example- Applebees.com   -- but try to be original).
2) Pick your meal from that restaurant (remember to include a drink or two and a side like fries if that is what you eat).
3) How many combined calories does your meal contain (add the up the total)?  
4) How many grams of fat does your meal contain?
5) How does your calorie total compare to the 2,000 calories an average person should eat per day?
6)  Think about your own body and what you do each day.  Should you be eating more or less than 2,000 calories?  Explain your answer.

We will go over this activity in detail in class.

Ask me any questions you might have while doing this project,
Mr. Goldstein
