Unit 8 hints

Now as to UNIT 8 PROJECT

1. Read directions carefully. They will walk you through everything you need to do.
2. Make sure you follow all of the directions and submit everything you are supposed to. Just upload everything in the drop box as multiple files can be put in one dropbox.
3. It is worth 150 points THUS, I expect to see some good work and more than your normal projects.

a. Use references and citations- refer to the textbook A LOT!!!! I want to see critical thinking. I want to see that you integrate the material from the book to what you found in your diet.

DO NOT SAY: I NEED TO EAT HEALTHIER. I NEED TO ADD FRUITS AND VEGETABLES. I KNOW THAT ALL READY AND SO DO YOU. You did not take 8 weeks of a college nutrition class to learn that. I will not accept that as an answer to anything.

I hope everyone is reading what I send back to you graded. Many students are not doing references nor are they naming their files right. Extra points will be deducted on this project for those issues.

I expect I will read a lot of WONDERFUL work and look forward to seeing them.

I will be available pretty much as normal.

Good luck!

Unit 6 Discussion help- complementary proteins

Hello all,

With this units discussion you need to look at complementary proteins. Proteins are made up of amino acids and there are 20 in your diet. Some proteins or foods, do not have all the amino acids you need. That is what complementary proteins are about- getting foods that balance out the amino acids.

Here is a great link:

Hope this helps you!
