Nutrition 470 Lesson Plan Project
This is a lesson plan that Emily created for her community nutrition class. The lesson plan was to educate athletes who are vegetarian about different foods that are rich in protein to make sure they are getting enough protein in their diet. The target audience was for young adult athletes. This project includes a handout with protein rich foods as well as the actual lesson plan to teach the audience about protein rich foods. With this project, Emily gained the skills of graphic design with the handout as well as creating a lesson plan for education.

Nutrition 485 Research Proposal
This is a research proposal Emily created for her Nutrition Research and Contemporary Issues class. She has a big interest in the microbiota in the human gut as it is a hot topic in nutrition these days. This proposal is to do research in the elderly population of how much coffee they consume and the amount of Bifidobacterium living in their gut. Coffee is a prebiotic to this specific bacteria and this exact study has not been done yet. This project taught Emily how to read research articles very well and learn about the human microbiome.
Nutrition 221 WIC Menu Planning Project
Here is a project that Emily did in her Quantity Food Purchasing class. She had to plan a two week menu, recipes and a shopping list for a mom and her two kids who get coupons and certain foods from WIC and have a $65.00 budget. She learned how to shop on a lower budget at two grocery stores in Reno, NV, and use the resources of the foods that were provided by WIC. Emily priced out the entire grocery list, priced out the recipes per serving and made a two week menu plan for the mom to use.
