FAN6209 Writ1 Assignment Discussion Board by Karen Reid

Week 3 Fats

2025-02-05 11:05:15 UTC

There does not appear to be any english slides or video for the lead lecture, only welsh?

Assessment for energy requirements

2025-02-07 11:31:30 UTC

Would you like the calculations for the energy requirements to go in the appendices and have just the EER in the text of the report?

or would you prefer the calculations in the report with the summary?

Analysis of 24hr diet recall

2025-02-13 13:55:58 UTC

Would you advise justification of the suggested changes to the clients diet or is that not necessary in this section as justification for choices will be stated in the later section of the assignment?

Micronutrients

2025-02-16 08:32:02 UTC

Is micronutrients intake of Rhys part of the assignment, in any way?

Nutritional guidelines for WRIT1

2025-02-17 16:36:33 UTC

In the assessment brief it says "compare your analysis with the current nutrition guidelines". Are the guidelines being asked the overall government guidelines for Rhys (age and gender etc) OR the specific guidelines for a team based sports person of his ability?

2025-02-18 14:43:45 UTC

Do we use the nutritics estimation of each macronutrient requirement or should we work these out ourselves like we've been doing in the tables each week and edit it on nutritics?

Rhys question

2025-02-18 15:26:23 UTC

What period of training is Rhys in?

is this a high intensity or low intensity period?

WEEK 5 micronutrients

2025-02-20 10:22:11 UTC

The pre recorded lecture is only available in Welsh not in English?

Will the English be up soon?????

2025-02-20 13:23:31 UTC

Is there a reference for the PAR Table provided on the seminar worksheets? Thanks

Original food diary

2025-02-24 12:49:11 UTC

In rhys original food diary it says to use 2 slices of thick bread which should = 120 however on nutritics three slices of bread = 120 not two slices so she we go off the 120 or the amount of slices stated?

word count

2025-02-24 13:30:44 UTC

Are we expected to meet the word count stated, 2000?

Referencing

2025-02-25 14:42:01 UTC

When referencing a "Position of the American Dietetic Association" paper, should we reference the authors, or the body?

Micronutrients for WRIT 1

2025-02-25 17:07:45 UTC

are we going to get marked down if our micronutrients don't meet all the DRVs for Rhys' case study

RMR and macros

2025-02-25 18:27:57 UTC

Do we calculate the RMR on nutritics to estimate his calorie intake? and do we need to calculate the g/kg of bodyweight for protein, carbs and fat or use what nutritics suggests?

Prediction Equation

2025-02-26 17:18:23 UTC

When it asks for using a prediction equation, does it mean using one of the listed equations we were given in week 1 seminar and we used one to calculate the BMR? Or does it mean the Henry Oxford 2005 shown in nutritics? Although I have a feeling that it would be one of the equations from week 1 but wanted to double check.

Comparing with literature

2025-02-26 17:22:49 UTC

When it comes to comparing the energy/macronutrients intake of Rhys and the reference intake of those nutrients, can we use one review paper to compare them with all the time? Or we need to find a variety of papers to compare? I was thinking, what if different papers have a slightly different reference intake. Is it better to stick to one paper to compare throughout the write up? (This question is mainly for analysis of 24hr dietary recall section)

2025-03-03 15:23:27 UTC

Where shall we add the tables in which we calculate the estimated macronutrients intake percentage. Will it go in the appendices or in the analysis section?

2025-03-04 09:52:05 UTC

Do we need to have all the calculation in that table and show how we calculated the nutritional goal? I completed the calculation in a table just like how we did in the seminar. Shall I just add the nutritional goal in the summary table and the calculation in appendices? Please let me know. Thank you.

appendex

2025-03-05 10:47:13 UTC

do we include both dietary analysis report and meal plans in the appendicies

Meal plan

2025-03-05 13:16:39 UTC

Are we able to use a table for the meal plan section or should we write out each meal in parapraphs?

Sports Drink

2025-03-05 16:55:48 UTC

Can we incorporate sports drink during training period? Or do we have to find actual foods to cover the full recommended carb content in training day?

BMR calculation

2025-03-05 17:31:28 UTC

A few of us have been discussing the nutritics assignment and the calculation section for BMR. Do we choose one of the 3 options from the worksheet ( Schofield Equation, Oxford Equation and The Mifflin-St Jeor Equation)

or can we choose from all the ones listed on the nutritics BMR help tile you have put on Moodle – Nutritics - A Guide on Predictive Equations for Energy Calculations (Henry Oxford 2005, Institute of Medicine 2005, Katch McArdle 1996, Mifflin St. Jeor 1990, Schofield 1985, Cunningham 1980 and Harris-Benedict 1919).

RMR and EER

2025-03-05 17:54:34 UTC

where can we find the information regarding RMR and EER. online it says that RMR is 1%-5% of an increase of BMR but not sure if this is correct

2025-03-05 21:54:32 UTC

This is what you said in response to a previous question “do not need to create another table or meal plan in your report. Instead refer to your Nutritics Meal plan in your Appendices in this section.” what does this mean then we need to include in the meal plan section? Are we simply going over the meals he will be eating again? This isn’t clear

2025-03-06 14:56:29 UTC

When you say to justify the sports drink I used for meal plan, do I do that on Meal plan section because in the assignment brief the actual justification section (worth 40%) is only for protein and its sources used in the meal plan?

exercise on Nutritics

2025-03-06 16:31:20 UTC

do we ned to insert his exercise on nutritics as there is a tab for activity. just confused as his nutritics kcal is a about 1000kcal lower than the predicted kcal intake using the equation alone

Micronutrients

2025-03-07 17:56:57 UTC

What are the micronutrients we need to add into the diet plan

Writ 2

2025-03-18 13:59:56 UTC

For writ 2, do we need too calculate the athletes energy requirements? in terms of daily PAR, EER etc?

Writ 2 cyclist

2025-05-10 11:57:35 UTC

It says in the brief that the cyclist is competing at 18:00, but in the powerpoint link there is no race at that time, and there are so many different track races/categories (e.g. women's omnium, women's keirin). I'm not sure which to follow as there are mulitple races and times in each category but on the brief it says one race and doesn't specify which. Thank you

Athletes energy requirements

2025-05-10 12:06:04 UTC

Do we put all 3 days into one table to calculate an overall energy requirement. or make separate tables to calculate different daily energy requirements ?

For the writ2, should the nutritional requirements settings on the nutritics website be SACN 2017 and Cunnningham 1980?
