3-day diet analysis



It is very important to keep track of your food intake, analyze and what you can do for yourself for better health in the future. 
My daily food intake would be from when I get I would normally have some coffee to wake up.  I am not working at the moment, so I spend my days at home either working on my assignments or clean the apartment.  I am trying to eat breakfast in the mornings since I do work out so that I could be able to loose body fat.  I eat 3 meals a day.  Throughout the whole day I would drink coffee and I had stopped taking sugar, instead I would take Truvia or something like that.  I do love coffee.  I know that it is important to eat something for breakfast in the morning.  If I cannot find anything for breakfast, I would end up eating yogurt as an alternative with cinnamon.  During lunch hours I would try to find something to eat, most of the time I would eat a sandwich such as tuna fish, if not I would have one of those raman noodles or leftover food from dinner from the night before.  I know I do well in my lunch because I am constantly thinking about my protein intake.  Every once in a while when going to the store to pick up groceries, my partner would purchase a 16 ounces diet coke and I would wait for taxi.  I would drink some of the diet coke along with him.  I do not drink sodas any more .  I sometimes snack on things anything that I could find if I crave for it.  However, I had stopped eating junk food when I started working out.  There are times that I would crave for food at night, which I know is a bad idea.  I try to drink a lot of water, especially in my workouts.  It seems that I would drink about three to four glasses of water.  Dinner time, my partner does the cooking in the household.  Many times he would not cook any vegetables so I am left no vegetables on the plate and have one portion of protein and two portions of carbs.  Sometimes he would double the amount of carbs.  I am the type of person who would eat everything on my plate.  It is hard for me to stick with my diet because my partner is a diabetic and he eats certain foods and foods that would throw me off guard with my food intake such as chocolates or crackers or any other snacks.  There are times that I would want to order either pizza or Chinese food that includes that I will eat the leftovers for lunch the next day.  Sometimes I would have iced tea along with my dinner, if not water.  Because of my present food intake I had noticed that I was gaining weight again, and it is affecting my lower back because I have been having daily pain, so I decided to work out again and loose some of the weight.

            According to the 3 day diet analysis for my 2400 calorie allowance shows that I need some working on in my food intake.  The first day of Analysis I had not eaten any fruits at all.  I am not much of a fruit person, and it is something that I would need to start working on.  In my protein column I have 100%, slightly a bit over.  I try to eat as much protein as possible because I heard it is very important.  My grains, vegetables, and dairy are all under, in other words are low and can use more food intake.  Day two as you could see that I had eaten more grains than day one.  My vegetables are lower than the first day.  I did not eat much fruits on this day only ¼ cups.  The protein is over 100% just like day one.  On the final day my grains very low and could had taken in more grains for that day.  I did not take any fruits.  My vegetables column is very good and was the most vegetables intake out of the 3 day analysis.  My protein is slightly over 100%.
            In conclusion on this 3 day analysis are that I enjoyed this analysis and would be delighted to share this with you.  Before working on this, I knew my fruits would be on the low side, and the proof is there that I would need to eat more fruits and also keep my vegetables on the high side rather the low side.  I will also keep an eye out in the future for the 5/20 rule because it will definitely help me to become more healthier.
