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
