Reflection:

According to the table above detailing the food I ate and my intake calories for the course of 7

days, I feel like I do not eat healthy at all. There are days where I skipped meal like from

Thursday-Sunday, I skipped breakfast because I don’t get out of bed until late, and then I would

eat lunch and dinner only. I believe that we must have 3 meals a day because skipping meal is

not good for our health. For instance, skipping breakfast would affect my concentrate/focus in

the morning, and I won’t be as active.

Before taking this class, and before I was introducing to this project, I never really keep track of

what I eat in a day. I usually would just eat when I feel like I am hungry, and I would not eat, if I

don’t feel hungry at all. This might be the reason why I skipped breakfast so often because I do it

regularly and I think I got used to it and then I would think that I don’t need to eat breakfast

every day.

This assignment definitely helps me understand better on choosing wisely when it comes to food.

I need to alert myself and control myself on how many calorie intakes on a daily basis is healthy

for me. When I look over the table above, I realized how many meals I eat out instead of cooking

a meal at home. Not to mentioned, I drink beverages a lot, too. I think I could improve my health

better by cutting out other beverages and replace it with tea because tea is known for antioxidants

and drink more water in a day to stay hydrated. Another way is to drink a cup or two of water 30

minutes before a meal, by doing so, it will help me feel less hungry and eat less between a meal.

The reason why I want to do this is because I am currently in a journey of losing weight, so I

need to watch what I eat in a day to see better result. I also need to eat more greens, such as

replace big carbs meal with salad instead and with that I can combined with some cardio and

other exercises to help with the process of losing weight.

A menu in a day include healthy meal and low calories

Breakfast Lunch Dinner

Water/Tea or Coffee (14) Salad with Chicken Breasts Brown Rice (160)

Boiled Eggs (77) (350) Mixed Vegetable (125)

Whole wheat bread (70) Stir Fry Beef (174)

Apple (95)

Total = 1065

As for Snack(s) I can bring fruits with me such as strawberry (48) or granola bar (190)

3 Nutrition goals that I set are:

1. Drink more water in a day to stay hydrated, I can replace drinking Coke or other beverages by

consume water instead.

2. Meal prep instead of eating out that way I can save time and save money and eat healthy.

3. Replace White rice with brown rice instead
