Reflections

What have you learnt about your eating habits?
- I tend to eat at very irregular intervals and with different eating patterns each time.
- I should try to reduce my snacks and sweets intake! Perhaps replace with something more healthy like fruits or nuts that can also at the same time satisfy my hunger/thirst.
- I am not taking in enough calcium and should make and effort to! Drink more milk, eat more food that is high in calcium! Tofu etc (: GOOD FOR GROWTH.
- I should add more vegetables and fruits to my diet! Too much meat and protein/carbo intake!

Do you consider your diet a healthy one? Why?  
I would consider it rather unhealthy ): Though there is protein and carbohydrates that will provide me with enough energy, there is a bit TOO MUCH, and also a lack in fruits and vegetables that are essential for health. And there is too much sodium intake! I honestly didn't know whatever i consumed had so much sodium content. This is not very healthy either! My diet is pretty much irregular, which is bad and unhealthy because my body would be taking in different food at different times.

Are the suggested nutritional tools helpful? How?
Yes they are! They are helpful in:
- letting me understand the content of the food that i am taking in and how important it is in my health
- Food intake assessment which i used allowed me to understand my diet better and provides nutritional messages and advice that would definitely serve helpful in the longrun. It allowed me to see the amount of sodium, protein, carbo etc that i am taking in and whether it is good or not, below or above average
- tells me about everything and what the food i am taking in is made of. gives me a better understanding about what i am actually eating!

SMILES.
