Food Diary Reflection
Food Diary Reflection
In my Food Nutrition and Wellness class we had to keep a food diary. Some things I learned was that when eating it is okay to have snacks throughout the day, but that I need to change some of the things I eat to health snacks, Ex: fruit. Some things I felt good about with keeping my food diary is the fact that I was eating 3 times a day because some days I usually skip a meal. I also liked that fact that I saw that on my food diary I eat a variety of things and not the same thing every day, EX: fast foods. Some things I will try to work on is trying to have healthier meal to consume. Also I will try not to consume unhealthy snacks.

Interview Reflection
Interview Reflection
Some things that have appeared when interviewing all of the volunteers on their food choices is the fact that they all eat 3 or more times a day. This can be both good and bad depending on what their eating. When eating you can have snacks throughout the day, but make sure the're healthy or not full of sugar. Also all volunteers have said that something that they can do do better pertaining to their food choices is eating healthier. This can be done by cutting out sweets, drinking more water, and adding vegetables and fruits to their diet.
