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.
It is a good effort on your part to eat lots of veggies at home and in school, however do remember that a healthy diet is not all veggies and fruits and such, it also has to contain your other food groups to maintain a healthy diet. So, you eating chicken nuggets every once in awhile is still helping keep your diet a balanced one. :)
