For P.E. Wellness, students were asked to make a five to seven-day observation of what they ate, drank, along with exercise. Prior to these days of tracking, students had a clear idea of how many calories, grams of fat, carbohydrates, and protein they should intake each day.
Overall, I was genially surprised about my results from the five days of tracking I completed. I found that at the start of documenting, I had a higher intaking of fat than was recommended but not enough carbohydrates or protein. The food that I did intake was what nutritionists refer to as “empty calories” where you are eating foods that will fill you up for a short amount of time before you become hungry again. An example of this is the Small Salad that I ate on Monday
