' Liked how you talked about your method of cooking, however, you may consider adding more pictures! Its is good that you made an effort in knowing what nutrients you should have more!'

Reflections

 

1. What have I learnt about my eating habits?

 have now learnt how unhealthy I have been eating all these while, eating food that are high in sodium and fat. Some food can look health, for example, milo. I thought that it was healthy as it provides energy, however, it actually contains more fats that I thought it contained.

 

 

2. Do you consider your diet a healthy one? Why?

I do consider my diet as a healthy one, apart from the chicken nuggets and luncheon meat that I eat once in a while. I consider it healthy as I eat lots of vegetables at home and in school which are good in nutrition. However, to maintain a balanced diet, I feel that I should cut down on eating chicken nuggets and luncheon meat by resisting the temptation. Other than eating lots of vegetables, I should also be eating more fruits as they contain fibers.

 

 

3. Are the suggested nutritional tools useful? How?

I feel that the tools were quite useful as I managed to learn what my diet's nutrient compositions were. By that, I managed to find out which of my meal is healthy and which is not. Adding on to that, all I need to do was just type in the name of the food and the nutrient compositions would be calculated for me. It was an easy website to use. Therefore, to me, the tools were useful.

 

 

4. Why is my suggested one-dish meal healthy?

My one-dish meal was healthy because I changed the type of spaghetti I used form normal spaghetti to spinach spaghetti. Spinach spaghetti is more healthy as the name suggests, it was made from spinach, this meant that compared to the normal spaghetti, this would have lesser fat. Although it took a longer time to cook, it was sure worth my time to make a healthier dish for myself ! Other than changing the spaghetti, I also added broccoli to my dish, apart from giving my dish more color, as a vegetable, it was sure to make my dish healthier with the nutrients it contained. Therefore, though my dish had minced chicken, which was not that healthy, I had the broccoli to make it a more balanced and healthy dish.

Unhealthy dish

Spaghetti Bolognese (Unhealthy Version)

 

 

 

 

Ingredients:

Spaghetti(normal)

4 button mushrooms

1/2 carrot

1/4 onion

150g minced meat

1 tbsp oil

2 garlic

1 tbsp tomato  paste



 

Analyse My Diet

1) Milo

 

Milo, Packet (200ml)
Energy (kcal)	150 kcal
Protein (g)	4.25g
Total fat (g)	3.75g
Saturated fat (g)	1.75g
Dietary fibre (g)	1.25g
Carbohydrate (g)	23.75g
Cholesterol (mg)	1.88mg
Sodium (mg)	75mg

I drink Milo every morning before i go to school as I think believe it would give me the energy I need for school. However, I never knew that Milo would be so unhealthy based on the above Milo nutrient compositions .


2) Luncheon Meat

 

Luncheon meat, chicken, fried without oil
Energy (kcal)	181 kcal
Protein (g)	10g
Total fat (g)	14g
Saturated fat (g)	5.0g
Dietary fibre (g)	N.A
Carbohydrate (g)	6g
Cholesterol (mg)	26mg
Sodium (mg)	701mg

I do not eat luncheon meat regularly, however, everytime I eat it, I take quite a number of pieces and before I realised I have eaten too much, they would have been down in my stomach. After realising how much sodium it actually contains, I would try to avoid eating it or lessen the number of pieces I take.


3) Chicken Nugget

Chicken Nugget, deep fried
Energy (kcal)	58kcal
Protein (g)	3g
Total fat (g)	3g
Saturated fat (g)	1.1g
Dietary fibre (g)	0.1g
Carbohydrates (g)	4g
Cholesterol (mg)	5mg
Sodium (mg)	130mg

Chicken nugget is one of my favourite snack, I tend to cook them as my afternoon snack sometimes. However, I do not eat them often as my parents think that they are unhealthy. Thus, after finding out the nutrient composition of chicken nugget, I am glad that my parents hardly buy them for me. I never knew that they would be so unhealthy and I never knew that it contained so much sodium, I would try to eat less of it now to have a healthy balanced diet.
