8th Grade Research Group's Healthy Food Menu
Project #1732 on iSENSEProject.org
As Americans we consume a variety of foods every day. Our choices of food often vary between healthy and non-healthy foods. The purpose of this project is to have middle school students analyze items that they currently eat checking for calorie content and fat content. The selection of students were from 2 different middle schools. The list of items were selected by the students and the data is also contributed in iSENSE by the students. Total Daily Calories 2000 and total grams of fat 65 are based on the FDA recommended daily allowances.
