My assignment is to create a brochure and the instructions say to: Find the number of grams of fat, the number of Calories, and the milligrams of sodium required per day for a typical teenager.
# Use the data about the nutritional value of fast food items to find the fat, Calories, and sodium in five typical meals that a teenager would order.
# Use the data about the nutritional value of fast food items to recommend a one day's menu that meets, but does not exceed, the daily requirements for Calories, fat, and sodium for a teenager.
Is there a website that can give me most of these nutritional information?
Go to 3fatchicks.com, they have 21 fast food chains, and over 7,000 other foods. You could also go to a fast food chains website, they all have nutritional information on there. Good luck!
p.s. when you get to 3fatchicks, scroll over food, then you will see the link for fast food nutrition.

The total calorie requirement of a 6 yr. old is 91 calories/kg. and the CHON req. is 1.7- 2 gms/kg. I am asked to make a dinner menu with this data. Pls. help me.
I think we need more information to help you, such as the weight of the six year old, the number of calories he has already consumed for the day, etc. You may get more help with a question like this if you posted it in another category, such as Diet and Fitness under the Health category.

There is data for each type of food that contains
Carbohydrates
Fat
Protein
and
calories
I find different data for same foods all over Internet. Where i can find precise most up to date info? I mean official insitutions not just some site with table. What official institutions make this calculations around the world?
each company tends to make things a bit different even tho it may be the same product. kinda like pepsi vs coke vs sprite…check the labels..they may all vary just a touch.
look and actually compare food labels when you go to store, compare products and brands…see the differences…it seems that would give you the most accurate account of info since books in librarys may not be fully up to date as you yourself noted how things vary on the net even.
every food product each has their own values, so that is probably the best thing i can think of to gain more precise info. yes its bit of pain but may be more to what you want to know.
not sure if these wil be of any help but you just never know give em a peek.

I read pumpkin seeds have a lot of zinc, so I picked up a bag labeled “Raw Pepitas: La Pluma Variety” from a Trader Joe’s. Apparently, pepitas = pumpkin seeds, but when I look at the Nutrition data on the back of the bag and on-line, it seems that “pepitas” have no zinc what so ever and “pumpkin seeds” have a lot.
My question(s): Are pepita seeds the same as pumpkin seeds, and if so how much zinc is in a serving of raw pepitas?
They are the same….although they can be from any squash variety.
Here’s the Wiki nutrition info:
Pepitas are a healthy snack food choice with some studies reporting that five to ten grams daily could help prevent kidney stones.[citation needed] Furthermore, claims have been made that pepitas help deter parasites, such as tapeworms. They also can have a profound, positive effect on urine flow in some males.[citation needed]
The seeds are also good sources of iron (25 grams can provide about 20 per cent of the recommended daily iron intake), zinc, polyunsaturated fatty acids (including the essential fatty acids omega-3 and omega-6), potassium, and magnesium.[2]
As with all oily foods, overconsumption can contribute to weight gain.
Lightly roasted seeds provide better nutrition than dark ones, as excessive heat destroys some of their nutritive value.[3]

I am a DePaul University student in Chicago and I am trying to gather data for a research project. Would you mind taking 2 minutes to complete a 10 question survey about nutrition?

I finally made the jump and decided to try Weight Watchers (again) to lose about 30 lbs. But doing Weight Watchers in Europe is really hard for me.
Is anyone else out there trying to do Weight Watchers in Europe, especially the UK, Germany or Norway? How are you managing it? I’m finding it very complicated to assign point values to foods when everything is listed in 100 gram portions (who eats 100 g. of peanut butter, margarine/butter or even cold cuts at one time?) and the nutritional labels (if they are even on the package) list very minimal information. Most of the labels here in Germany only list calories, fat and carbohydrates-nothing about fiber, sodium or vitamins.
Back in the States following the FlexiPOINTS plan was easy because I knew how large a serving was since it was directly on the label and how many points were in every serving (which is often not 100 g. or 100 ml.-usually more or less than that).
As an alternative, I’ve been looking up the nutritional values on the USDA nutrition data web site (http://www.nal.usda.gov/fnic/foodcomp/search/) but I’m not sure if the data is correct for the foods we have in Germany, especially prepared and pre-packaged foods. I’ve tried the ever popular Dotti’s web site (www.dwlz.com) for further help but a lot of the menus and foods on her web site include “lite” pre-packaged foods that we don’t have in Germany. Granted, eating fewer pre-packaged foods is KEY but I’d rather eat a serving (or two) of ‘lite” tortilla chips when I have a craving then the full fat, full sodium ones!
Please help!
Okay, buy the points calulator first to make sure your calculating points correctly first. Then a little thought is required. By taking the points per 100 grams, divide the number points by 100 then multiply by how many grams your gonna or already have eaten.
(You need to divide by 100, because thats how you got the accurate points first time around. By dividing and times'ing this result will give you the correct number of points you have or will consumed.) If you calculated points per 50 0r 200 grams, divide the points by the number of grams before multiplying.
If your still not sure ask your leader, he/she will be willing to sit down and go over it with you.
I lost 5 and a half stone in 9 months using weight watchers (in the UK) and swaer by them.
Hope this helps
EDIT:
EG1: Something is 5 points per 100 grams. Your gonna eat 30 grams, how many points will you consume? Answer = 1.5 points.
EG2: Something is 3 points per 100 grams. Your gonna consume 120 grams. how many points will you consume? Answer = 3.6 points.
EG3: Something is 4 points per 50 grams. Your gonna consume 80 grams. how many points will you consume? Answer = 6.4 points.

I think it may well be the good ol' USA! I would however value your considered opinion on the matter as I am studying for a masters in social anthropology and am exploring ideas for my thesis. Diet is clearly a factor here, and I am linking nutrition and genetic history to form a working hypothesis, but I will need more hard data.
I find much interest in your question and expect anxiously the answers - Will I go there by plane - I'll see

I'm trying to track my vitamin/mineral intake on fitday.com for curiosity's sake, and their canned black bean data is different from what's on the can of Goya Black Beans (the Goya can says nothing about folate, copper, phosphorus, magnesium…which black beans are supposed to contain). Is this because the canned beans have lost some nutritional value, or because the label is simplified/incomplete? Thanks!
The label has been simplified, and is incomplete.
