Personal Narrative-Friday Diet

Have you ever wondered where your food came from,who grew it or what it even looked

According to my three day diet analysis it seems like my eating habits are poor. Not necessarily that I am consuming too many bad foods but I am not getting the all around nutrients that I need on a daily basis. Sometimes not eating enough. Or ot finding time to eat at all is a big issue in this. Due to my job and the lack of time I have at home it is hard for me to get the nutrients I need on a daily basis. With the target that is shown of six oz. of grains two and a half cups of vegetables, two cups of fruits, two cups of dairy and five and a half oz. of protein foods I fell short in most of the areas that were targeted for me. My biggest two areas of consumption was refined grains and protein.

I went out for a bit in the afternoon and by the time I sat down for lunch I was super hungry! I went to a vegan restaurant I've never been to before called Root 8. I ordered the curry bowl with added tempeh and avocado. It came with rice instead of quinoa, which I was more than happy about because normally I switch them anyway and I forgot to ask today. The curry was sooo good, it was soft and creamy. Super satisfying.

My daily diet should contain a balance of proteins, carbohydrates (carbs), and lipids (collectively called macronutrients). According to Kirby (2011), micronutrients are substances such as vitamins, and minerals that are essential for healthy growth and developments. The body only requires small quantities of micronutrients and without them serious problems can arise. The role of each micronutrient makes proteins, carbohydrates, and lipids equally important in my diet. Proteins are important for repair and tissue growth, helps the body to make enzymes and hormones, as well as preserve lean muscle mass and is a source of energy. Carbohydrates are the body main source of energy and are easily broken down into glucose

For this three day diet analysis project I wanted to eat as I normally would and be honest about all that I ate, to analyze not only what and how much I was eating, but also to see how healthy my diet really is. By doing so I can see if any of my diet choices are putting me at risk for certain health diseases, and what changes can be made to make my diet healthier. After analyzing my diet, I would say I am fairly healthy, though I am out of the target range in a few areas. My profile calculated from my weight and height indicates that I have a BMI of 20.5. This is considered to be healthy; the healthy range is anywhere between 18.5-25. This was reassuring to hear because I am happy at my current weight, and

Begin your lunch date with a warm bowl of spinach dip made with artichoke hearts and creamy parmesan cheese or the Thai Spring rolls. Savor the endless garden bar with endless dressing and topping combinations or enjoy the Smoky Mountain chicken entrée smothered in barbecue sauce and Swiss cheese. For dinner, dip into the Italian five cheese skillet appetizer with tomato basil sauce. Cut into a perfectly cooked steak with a side of white cheddar roasted brussel sprouts or the grilled salmon with a fresh baked potato. End your meal with a decedent slice

Today is Thursday June 18, and thankfully I am feeling better after a whole week of sickness. Yesterday was a slow day I woke up late and did chores which I felt was a workout because by the time I was done I sweating like crazy. I felt that since my body was sick, my exertions felt twice as weak. Afterwards I just wanted to lay down in my bed and never get up but I decided since I was already sweaty I'd do more. So I got up and did some stretching, yo-ga, and some sit ups. Those I did to make-up a little for what I was missing.

Lunch: Chicken nuggets with mashed potatoes and gravy or chicken and yellow rice with green beans and cabbage and strawberries with a choice of lemonade or limeade.

My patterns are pretty much the same food trough every other day, chicken or fish

Happy fall! I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving and had lots of turkey, spend time with family, and watched some football. I don’t eat turkey, so my plate was filled with mash potatoes, stuffing, sweet potato casserole, and my nana’s homemade roll. If only they served chicken for Thanksgiving… yum! What did you guys eat for Thanksgiving?

Growing up I have always given my dad a hard time for his weight until about four years ago when he pulled out his wedding tux and I tried it on and could not fit in it. I am currently six foot four inches and weight approximately one hundred and fifty pounds so you can share my amazement when I found out that I couldn’t fit into my two hundred and fifty pound father’s tux. My dad got married when he was twenty two and I just turned twenty two, so I believe that it is about time to start being more a wear of what I eat. Being that I am currently underweight, I haven’t had to discipline myself when it comes to eating too much. My

I went to Pure Barre over lunch and I felt good! I held off working out until day 7 to give my body some time to adjust. I was really happy when I fueled my body with whole, healthy, real food before and after my PB class. I have always maintained a healthy lifestyle, but after most workouts, I would crave carbs and empty calories. Not this time! It was cool to see a no scale victory such as this.

Two of the many areas I need to change in my diet are carbs and salt! Believe it or not, I need to consume more carbohydrates than I have been lately. When I do this, I will choose the dark breads. Whole grains can provide me with the nutrients that I need also. During breakfast, which I usually skip, I should choose oatmeal with fresh fruit, but never have the oatmeal in the packet, as they have too much sugar! Bananas are also a good source of carbs, is a fruit, and is loaded with potassium.

house where several other families turn up. In total, there were six or seven kids my age. The parents were inside the house talking and eating food, while the kids played outside amongst each other. None of the kids are truly relevant to the story, therefore their personalities don't need much explanation. The layout of the outside was sloped down toward Lake Murray and had grass and rocks all around.
