Project 2: Calorie Intake and Reflection

After having to track my daily caloric food intake for this project I realized how bad my

eating habits are. In a day I do not have meals prepped for myself usually, so I will eat

throughout the day what I make or buy depending on what I am doing that specific day. I also try

to not overeat during a meal even if I haven’t eaten for a long period of time due to the feeling of

being bloated afterwards and not wanting to expand my stomach beyond its capacity. This

project taught me that I need to feed my body more nutrient rich foods that will give my body

what it needs to have energy without having to eat tons of food. I need to watch the food I buy

more precisely, especially from stores that I think are healthy to shop at because no matter what

if the food label has a long list of ingredients then it most likely should not be consumed. A

healthy, low-calorie meal option that can be consumed by someone like me is simple and easy to

make that can also be prepped in bulk for days throughout the week. Some type of protein like

chicken, turkey, or beef that is cooked with light seasoning that will just add some flavor, but not

add too many calories. To pair with the protein add a vegetable like steamed broccoli, brussel

sprouts, or asparagus also being cooked with light seasoning or none at all. Lastly, adding a type

of carb that can be brown rice, quinoa, or sweet potato that does not need any seasoning

depending on the person. This meal is simple enough that if eaten once a day for a couple of
weeks could help not only save money, but help maintain weight. Three nutritional goals that

will be realistic and easy for me to reach would include my gym and food habits. First, I want to

set a goal to go to the gym at least 3 days a week. Although it does not seem like much, with life

being as crazy as it is, little things like getting to the gym for at least 30 minutes can seem

impossible sometimes. Secondly, I want to make a goal to prepare a meal plan for every week

and meal prep those foods for the week, so I can stay consistent with my daily meals helping me

to not overeat/under-eat, control my weight, and save money. Lastly, I want to set a goal to

substitute sweets with low sugar fruits and vegetables and drink more water progressively

throughout the day.
