 Evaluation
Recommended servings are excellent guidelines for what the human body needs
and uses. Your body only needs the recommended serving because although the body
does use up calories in its day to day functions, sometimes it cannot burn all of it. This
causes the extra calories or energy to be stored as fat. Another example is ingesting
protein. If someone does not digest enough protein, then the ribosomes cannot
synthesize it to maintain homeostasis within the body.

How a carbohydrate is metabolized to maintain homeostasis: When a carb is

metabolized it provides energy for the body that is used for physical exercise, and every
single cell in the body. It helps the body maintain homeostasis because it is used for
fuel.

This food journal both confirmed and surprised me on my food choices. I knew
that I ate a large amount of protein, but I was surprised at how many carbohydrates I
ate. However, I don’t believe it is that big of a problem as many are used for energy
during my long runs.
