Reflection/Learning points
What have you learnt about your eating habits?
This project has shown to me that my diet is still rather unhealthy. I am taking in too little calcium, and far too much fat, and most of that was saturated fat, which is extremely unhealthy. Also, much of the sodium i have taken in is from an unhealthy source.
Are the suggested nutritional tools useful? How?
I think the suggested nutritional tools were good in analysing 3 days of my diet, however, there were some limitations. The tools were not able to give us our accurate portion sizes, and some foods that we consumed were not found in the database. Thus, I had to find the closest choice, making this tracker rather inaccurate. However, the analysis feature of the tool was useful, as it gave a well rounded, detailed opinion about my intake.
Why is your suggested meal healthy?
This meal uses healthier, whole wheat carbohydrates, such as a whole-wheat tortilla, instead of the typical fat-laden pizza dough. The chicken breast used is grilled, not fried or deep-fried, thus eliminating the need for oil. It has ingredients from the important food groups, the tortilla from the carbohydrates, chicken from the protein, spinach for vegetables, and goat cheese as a healthy fat.
