REFLECTIONS!
- What have you learnt about your eating habits?
I learnt that I do not eat a lot and I must increase my food intake as I am still growing. I have been thinking that I am eating enough but actually, I did not receive enough especially dietary fibre and calcium. I think this is due to time. At school I do not usually much as I rarely eat recess. And at home, since I spend a lot of time on homeworks, projects and computer, I don't usually eat because I am occupied and have things to do. Therefore, I should put time aside to have a proper meal in order to have a healthy diet.
- Do you consider your diet a healthy one? Why?
Not really. All of them are below the recommended intake. So I think that it is not healthy as it is insufficient. Particularly, I lack in fruits and vegetables. Therefore not having a balanced diet. I should meet the 2 serving of fruits and 2 servings of vegetables condition everyday. Also I should take in more food that are high in calcium as I am lacking in it and it is important for me to have enough of calcium in order to prevent broken bones or osteoporosis.
- Are the suggested nutritional tools useful? How?
Yes, it does. It makes me aware of my food intake and from there I can change my eating habits. I am now able to now what I need to take more and what I need to take less.
