ANALYSIS OF MY DIET...

Food Intake Assessment

I knew that these few days I was eating unhealthily, but I didn't know that it would be this serious! I'm eating too much meat and fats, and the food that I consumed also has way too much cholesterol, probably due to saturated fats! However, I did not get enough calcium and dietary fibre, so I should drink more milk and eat more vegetables. I also really need to cut down on my sodium intake! If I keep eating this way, I think I will get really fat, and die of a heart attack soon! I really should eat more balanced meals, cut down on snacks between meals and eat less outside of the house as they usually contain more seasonings (thus the sodium) and saturated fats.

Healthy Diet Pyramid
I think that I should cut down on meats and eggs, and I should replace it with more fruits instead. Although I do eat fruits after most meals, I am not eating enough fruits, and maybe I should eat less and fill up on fruits. I obviously also don't eat enough vegetables, unless they're my favourites. If there are other types of vegetables for dinner, I would usually only take a few stalks. When I am eating outside, I would not choose dishes with a lot of veggies. I don't consume enough calcium, though usually on school days I'll drink milk or Milo for breakfast. However, as milk has a higher calcium content than Milo, it is a healthier alternative. I also consume too much fats and oils, such as the fried rice on Day 1 and the buttery french toast. I should also cut down on my sweet intake, especially when I am out of the house!

Energy and Nutrient Composition
Claypot rice is really really unhealthy! I knew it wasn't the best choice for a meal, though I didn't know that it was so unhealthy... This is why i think the Energy and Nutrient Composition tool is quite useful, because it gives us specific details about a dish so that we'll be so traumatized we'll stay far far away from it in the future! Claypot rice contains excessive fats, cholesterol, and WAY too much sodium, and too little dietary fibre as well. Oh no I can feel my arteries clogging up...
