For my one Menu I chose to give two options for each meal/other. I noticed in the blue chart I ate a
lot of oatmeal for breakfast, since I really do love eating oatmeal I decided to write it in my menu,
except this time I chose the Original Quaker(100c.) flavor which is a lot healthier because It has no
added sugar and settled it with natural sugar which would be fresh fruits, personally I would go with
strawberries(4c.). My second option was Kelloggs cornflakes(100c.) with added banana(105c.) slices.
For Lunch I chose homemade Ham and cheese with lettuce and tomato sandwich(220c.), Im not a fan of
mayo at all so it made it pretty easy. My second option for lunch was a fresh salad with cherry
tomatoes, parmesan cheese and small pieces of grilled chicken(177c.). Finally for dinner I chose brown
steamed rice(200c.) since it is a lot healthier than regular white rice, with grilled chicken(200c.) and
steamed vegetables(32c.). My second option for dinner is Green bell peppers(24c.) filled with parmesan
cheese(22c.) and potato(163c.) Im a big snack person so I decided to throw in healthy choices for those
too. I went with baby carrots(8c.) with peanut butter(188c.) dipping sauce. My second option is a regular
fresh fruit salad(70c.). I always thought I dranked a lot of water, but I realized I didnt so for my menu I
decided to go with 8 cups of water or more.
In this project I learned many useful things that could help me out becoming healthier in my nutrition
area. It has really opened my eyes on how much more I need to work on my diet, some days I eat too
little carbs other days I eat too much, I think it is mostly because when I skip a meal I tend to add it on to
either breakfast or lunch which makes me eat more portions then Im supposed to. I will definitely keep
logging in my calories to keep track of what I am consuming. I really enjoyed this project because it
made me realize what I am feeding myself and family members. A couple of goals I have will to better
my diet is drink a lot more water! I usually have a cup of water next to me, except I dont keep track of
how much I drink. In order to accomplish this goal I will carry a large water bottle around and take it
everywhere with me. Another goal will be to pick healthier snacks. I believe this goal will be easy
because the snack I wrote down on my Menu sound delicious! So I will definitely give them a try.
