Unit 2, Lab 2

This chart was created after i logged everything i consumed during the day.

How healthy a daily diet do you think this is? I felt that this was healthy diet as far as the calorie count goes. The choices were decent and i didn't eat too much. Coming off a 3000 calorie a day diet from the Army, i have cut that down to 1/2 to 1/3 of the intake. I drink lots of water and i don't drink allot of soda. Since i am from the South, i will not give up my iced tea! I stay under 1500 calories a day with plenty of exercise to reduce my chances of getting ill. I consider this a balanced meal with no fried food and a limited red meat intake.

What would you change about this day's eating, if anything? I would add more fruit to this daily intake. I could limit the already small amount off BBQ sauce that i added to the grilled pork.

Do you find this kind of nutritional tracking helpful? I found it very help full. I was able to see that i did not balance my meals out real good. I was glad to see that i keep my calorie intake under control. However, i do not eat lunch, so there is room to change some choices allowing me to add a lunch, balance the food group out, and stay under 1200 calories a day. Nice eye opener
