Big Question:
Can you design a 5-day fast-food diet of 2,000 calories per day? Is it possible to buy meals at one or more of these fast-food restaurants that are well balanced (focusing on grains, vegetables and fruit, meat and dairy) and contain only a moderate amount of sodium, fat and minimize the intake of unhealthy fat?
Your budget is $180.00.
Your job is to conduct research on healthy nutrition and to try and use the least amount of money possible to make healthy choices for a 5-day diet plan. You will have to buy three meals per day at any of the fast food restaurants listed below.
McDonalds
Burger King
Wendy's
Subway
Dairy Queen
Criteria:
1. The diet has to cover a 5-day period
2. Has to consist of three meals per day
3. Meals can be purchased at any or all of these restaurants
4. No single meal should be repeated in a day (for example, you cannot have a Big Mac meal twice in the same day).
5. You cannot eat in the same restaurant more than two days in a row.
Take Note:
Students need to know how many calories they need for the day. Calorie intake depends on age, gender and activity level. Which website would you use to get this information? How does Government play a role in making this happen, and which level of government is responsible for this mandate?
