This project helped me learn how to manage my calories and what options are healthier

for me to eat. I still have plenty of bad eating habits such as eating junk food, eating late, and

skipping meals during the day. I did not realize I miss so many meals until completing this

project. Having three meals in a day is important because it keeps people from snacking and

keeps the person full. Snacking excessively is something I know I must work on. I am currently

in a low-carb diet and, although I did have some cheat days I’m glad I improved my snacking

habits. They were a lot worse as I consumed almost 2 to 3 bags of chips a day. Now, I noticed

that I try to substitute those unhealthy snacks with healthier options such as peanuts or sugar-free

Jell-O . I’m proud of the progress I’ve made with my weight loss and snacking habits even

though I can improve my snacking. I’ve set the goal to snack less than I normally do. To reach

this goal, I must complete another. Which my second goal is to not miss meals. To achieve this, I

am planning to make my meals the night before if I know I am going to be busy the next day.

The prevention of skipping meals will keep me full which will contribute to my first goal. My

final goal is to eat more greens. For example, Monday in the schedule below. If I eat some type

of meat for breakfast, I can substitute my cheeseburger for a salad to get better nutrients for my

body. I shall try to be strict with my diet and implementing these goals to my daily routines will

assist me in improving my health.

A menu for a healthy low-calorie day includes a spinach omelet for breakfast (240), a

grilled chicken salad for lunch (250), lemon basil salmon for dinner (355), and a sugar free Jell-

O for a snack (5). Replace sugary drinks with water or flavored water (0). Which all adds up to a

total of 850 calories.

A second menu for a healthy low-calorie day includes egg whit and roasted peppers egg bites for

breakfast (170), a turkey wrap for lunch (365), beer lime chicken with white rice for dinner

(402). Replace sugary drinks with water, sparkling or flavored water (0). Adds up to a total of

937 calories.
