Computer Diet Analysis #1
During my three-day diet analysis, I consumed approximately 180.19 grams of naturally occurring sugar and 31.77 grams of added sugar. I was shocked to find out that my added sugar intake was so low without much effort. If I could change one thing, it would be my natural sugar intake which is pretty high for a three-day period. Although the sugar from fruits are natural, as a diabetic, I still feel as though too much can cause harm to my body. I need to work on exercising moderation in this area. I will try my best to cut down on fruits I know have a high amount of natural sugar such as grapes, watermelons and bananas.

Since I am in college now, it is hard for me to find time to prepare and cook meals at home. Despite the difficulties, I will try meal prepping in an effort to help not only my health but the time that it takes to actually prepare healthy
