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.
