Question

1. make a list of the foods you eat in one typical day, including the amount consumed.
2. in the chart below, list the food item, serving size, amount consumed, grams of fiber in 1 serving and then calculate the total grams of fiber consumed for that food item. for foods with packaging, use the food label for nutrient values. alternatively, use myfitnesspal.com/or the app to find the nutrient values in foods.

example: whole wheat bread, serving size = 1 sliced, amount consumed= 2 slices, you will need to double the grams of fiber that is listed since the amount consumed was twice that of the serving size. fiber g in 1 serving = 3 g, total fiber g = 6 g

1. when finished total the grams of fiber you consumed on this particular day and answer the questions at the bottom of the page.

food item	serving size	amount consumed	fiber grams in 1 serving	total fiber grams consumed

Explanation:

Step1: List typical daily foods

1. Oatmeal, 2. Banana, 3. Greek yogurt (with chia seeds), 4. Quinoa, 5. Broccoli, 6. Apple

Step2: Define serving sizes & amounts

• Oatmeal: Serving size = ½ cup dry, Amount consumed = 1 cup dry
• Banana: Serving size = 1 medium, Amount consumed = 1 medium
• Greek yogurt with chia seeds: Serving size = 1 cup yogurt + 1 tbsp chia, Amount consumed = 1 cup yogurt + 1 tbsp chia
• Quinoa: Serving size = ½ cup cooked, Amount consumed = 1 cup cooked
• Broccoli: Serving size = 1 cup chopped, Amount consumed = 1.5 cups chopped
• Apple: Serving size = 1 medium, Amount consumed = 1 medium

Step3: Find fiber per serving

• Oatmeal: 4 g per ½ cup dry
• Banana: 3 g per medium
• Greek yogurt + chia: 10 g per serving
• Quinoa: 3 g per ½ cup cooked
• Broccoli: 2.4 g per 1 cup chopped
• Apple: 4.8 g per medium

Step4: Calculate total fiber per food

• Oatmeal: $\frac{1}{0.5} \times 4 = 8$ g
• Banana: $1 \times 3 = 3$ g
• Greek yogurt + chia: $1 \times 10 = 10$ g
• Quinoa: $\frac{1}{0.5} \times 3 = 6$ g
• Broccoli: $1.5 \times 2.4 = 3.6$ g
• Apple: $1 \times 4.8 = 4.8$ g

Step5: Sum all daily fiber

$8 + 3 + 10 + 6 + 3.6 + 4.8 = 35.4$ g

Answer:

Completed Food & Fiber Chart:

Food Item	Serving size	Amount consumed	Fiber grams in 1 serving	Total fiber grams consumed
Banana	1 medium	1 medium	3 g	3 g
Greek yogurt + chia seeds	1 cup yogurt + 1 tbsp chia	1 cup yogurt + 1 tbsp chia	10 g	10 g
Cooked Quinoa	½ cup	1 cup	3 g	6 g
Chopped Broccoli	1 cup	1.5 cups	2.4 g	3.6 g
Apple	1 medium	1 medium	4.8 g	4.8 g

Total Daily Fiber Intake:

35.4 grams
