calories trail mix

7th grade math homework help please?


3. frankys trail mix factory gives customers the following information. use the pattern in the table to answer the question.

grams of trail mix-calories
50------150
150----450
300----900
500-----1,500

a) fiona eats 75 grams of trail mix. how many calories does she eat?
i got 225 calories.
am i right?

b) rico eats trail mix containing 1000 calories. how many gramsof trail mix does he eat?

im confused on that

c.write an equation that you can use to find the number of calories in any number of grams of trail mix.

d.write an equation that you can use to find the number of grams of trail mix that will provide any given number of calories.

To every math problem, there is a solution. Thus, for this one, what did you multiply the grams by to get the number of calories? So, what did you multiply 50 by to get 150? This will give you what the pattern multiple is. You can check the other ones and it will work. To check a, multiply what the pattern multiple was for all the examples. For b, you would not use the process of multiplication, since the number of grams was less than the number of calories. Thus, you would use multiplication's opposite. You can also use the pattern multiple example to find the equation. And you would use multiplication's polar opposite once again to find the equation for d. Hope I helped!

2000 Calorie Diet

Sticking to a 2000 calorie diet means cutting down on your caloric intake. This type of diet is effective, safe, and allows you to choose foods by serving sizes as well as types of foods to consume. Increase your chance of success by eating a variety of foods that are healthy and well balanced. Use the Food and Drug Administration's pyramid guide for serving sizes and rotate foods to help you stay on track. Keep in mind when reading food labels that serving suggestions are based on a 2000 calorie diet. Take the time to understand how to read food labels before you shop. This article will help you understand what foods are recommended, provide easy measuring tips, sample menus, and healthy eating tips.

FDA's Food Pyramid

What's Changed?

The old FDA pyramid suggested grains up to eleven servings per day, and vegetables and fruits up to five servings per day. Three servings of meats and beans were recommended along with three servings of milk per day. The old diet from the FDA told us to use oil sparingly or not at all, the new one tells us six teaspoons is safe. The ratio of meats to grains has doubled where fruits and vegetable servings have decreased.

2000 Calorie Diet Recommendations

Foods

Old

New
Grains 6-11 servings 6 ounces Vegetables 3.5 servings 2.5 cups Fruits 2-4 servings 2 cups Meat & Beans 2-3 servings 5.5 ounces Milk 2-3 servings 3 cups Oils use sparingly 6 teaspoons

The Simple Way to Measure Foods

If you don't have a food scale at home, following recommended portions can be tough. When measuring foods, make sure you get the right amount by using these guidelines:

  • Fruits = size of a baseball
  • One-half cup veggies = bulb part of the light bulb
  • Cereal and grains = standard tea cup
  • Pasta and rice = cupped palm
  • Meat, chicken or fish = size of woman's palm
  • Beans = bulb part of the light bulb
  • Two tablespoons of peanut butter = size of one walnut shell
  • Milk = standard yogurt container
  • Salad dressings = one-half of walnut shell

Create Your Own and Mix it Up

Mix up your food choices so you don't get bored. Eating the same foods day after day will make your palate unhappy. Below are some meal solutions you can use to start and then mix it up for variety. Any combination of these breakfast, lunch, snack, and dinner menus is 2000 calories. Challenge yourself to find and eat healthy foods by creating recipes that are low in fat and higher in whole grains, beans, fish, and rice.

Breakfast

  • Toast with jam and a cereal bar
  • Oatmeal with skim milk topped with blueberries or strawberries
  • Whole grain cereals; buy in bulk and create your own
  • Plain yogurt with fruit and glass of juice
  • Hard boiled egg and fruit cup

Lunch

  • Baked potato with black beans
  • Low-fat turkey sandwich; use whole grain roll
  • Green salad with hard-boiled egg and low fat dressing
  • Tuna fish mixed with tablespoon of low fat mayonnaise and whole wheat crackers
  • Spinach salad with fruits, corn, and nuts

Snacks

  • Raw veggies like carrots, red or yellow peppers
  • Popcorn without the butter
  • Trail mix or granola bar
  • Two whole grain bread sticks
  • Fruits like bananas, apples, and oranges

Dinner

  • Fresh fish with rice
  • Chicken or turkey with plain baked potato
  • Soy burger topped with low-fat cheese on whole grain bun
  • Fresh vegetables
  • Leafy green salads with low fat dressing

Healthy Eating Tips

Sticking to any diet includes reading food labels. Food manufacturers are now required to list fats, saturated fats and even let consumers know if a product is gluten-free for people allergic to wheat. Good tips to remember are:

  • Eat more whole grains – whole grains contain all three parts of grain including the inner germ, the middle endosperm, and the outer bran covering. Choose whole grains like brown rice, corn, rolled oats, and whole-wheat grain or flour.
  • Limit your sugar intake – Sugar is back; avoid artificial sweeteners.
  • Lower trans fats – Fast food burgers, vegetable cooking oil, donuts and pastries are foods to avoid.
  • Limit saturated fats – Lower your cheese, cream, butter, and animal fats such as lard or fatty meat.
  • Eat or cook with monounsaturated (MUFA) and polyunsaturated fats – MUFAs mean eating more nuts including peanuts, walnuts, almonds and using canola or olive oil. Consume more fish, soy products and use sunflower oil to gain needed Omega 3's and polyunsaturated fats.
