A menu that has healthy low calorie options include the following things: Breakfast 1

cups shredded wheat cereal and 1 cup 1% milk (413), Lunch - 6 in. whole white pita, cup

reduced fat cottage cheese, 4oz canned tuna, 1 tsp olive oil, tomato, cucumber (470), Dinner

8oz skinless boneless grilled chicken breast, 1 cup broccoli, 1 cup brown rice (579), Snacks

1 banana, raw almonds, 1 apple (305). The total calories for this meal totals about 1737, so

some things can still be added to reach 2000 calories. However, this meal is already good overall

since it is healthy and gives the eater all the nutrients that they need daily.

There are three nutrition goals that I have set for myself that are easy to reach. Although

easy to reach, they will make a huge impact to my health and improve it overall. The first goal is

to drink less soda and replace it with water. I would be able to replace the 16oz soda (195

calories) with water (0 calories). Soda is not beneficial and is just taking up the calories that I eat

each day. The second goal that I have is to decrease the amount of fast food that I eat. Rather

than eating a 20 piece chicken nugget meal (1625), I can balance the calories out throughout my

day and eat something more healthier in place of this meal. The third and final goal that I made is

to eat breakfast on Mondays and Wednesdays. Although I get enough calories on those days, I

should balance it out and eat something for breakfast. Food that is considered to be breakfast

gives a lot of nutrients that are needed daily. Also, breakfast would provide energy, making me

physically feel energized for the day.

After doing this assignment, I was able to learn a lot about my eating habits. Some of the

things I saw were my eating patterns and the number of calories that I get each day. Something

that I noticed was that I dont eat breakfast on Mondays and Wednesdays. The reason that I do
not eat breakfast on those days are because I go to classes on those days and cant find the time

to eat something. I also saw that I did not eat enough vegetables, fruits, and dairy in this week. I

plan on improving that by planning my meals and making sure that I get the necessary nutrients

needed.
