1. What have you learnt about your eating habits?
I eat regularly with three meals a day, and I do not eat junk food very often. However, I did not meet certain nutrient requirements like calcium and overshot quite a bit for sodium. This indicates that I like saltier foods and should aim to cut down on the amount of salt that I eat. Also, analysing my diet has helped me to better understand what I should eat more or less of.
2. Do you consider your diet a healthy one? Why?
My diet is relatively healthy, though my intake of sodium and fats exceeds the recommended amount. Sodium is absorbed by our body mainly through the salt in our food, especially in gravy and the likes. Fat slips into our body in the form of oil, and meat that is fatty/contains the skin, as well as other types of food. I think that I should work towards making my diet healthier by being more conscious about what I eat, and actively make healthier choices.
3. Are the suggested nutritional tools useful? Why?
I think that the suggested nutritional tools are very useful! For this project I used the 'Food Intake Assessment'. Not only does it provides a big range of food for you as options, you can also choose specific portions of the food. The analysis given is very detailed and precise, even giving you some advice if you are taking insufficient/more than recommended amounts of certain nutrients. I feel that this assessment is very helpful in tracking a diet and serves as a good reminder for a person to eat healthy and stay healthy.
