Eating Style Worksheet

Improved Essays
1 What type of eating style do you practice? According to this worksheet I am an attuned eater. I am assuming by my answers this is a good thing.

2 Based on the style names (i.e. attuned, misguided, deprivation-driven, emotional) how would you define the eating style that you practice? I would define the eating style of attuned as not doing any sort of dieting, just eating normally. I would define it as not overeating every meal and being able to tell when you are full. I would also describe it as not eating because you are bored or eating your emotions. 3 Do you agree with the eating style that the worksheet determined you practice? Why or why not? I somewhat agree with the eating style the worksheet determined I practice.

I chose these two because I usually only eat when I am hungry and I usually eat around the same time everyday for my meals. I know when I am hungry and I usually don’t wait to eat once I get hungry. I don't usually eat just because I am bored. I won’t say I never do this because that would be false, but I mostly only eat when I am hungry.

5 What two statements from the worksheet do you think are the least accurate in describing your eating style? Why did you choose these? I really don't pay attention to when I’m hungry and I really don’t pay much attention to feeling full. These two statements do not come close to describing my eating style. I am always aware of when I am hungry because I eat around the same times everyday. I also pay attention to when I am full. I don't like stuffing myself because then I feel very uncomfortable. I don’t like that feeling. Also when you are constantly stuffing yourself, that is probably a sign that you may be overeating. Another this is I can get very angry when I am hungry and food isn't ready yet or I am unable to eat for other reasons. There has never been a time where I was hungry and didn't know

    Health and nutrition, particularly my own, is something I have taken special interest in lately as I’ve come to realize I’m rapidly approaching the second half of my life and want it to be as good as, or even better than, the first half. If I were to be asked eight weeks ago if I was a healthy person, my answer would be a resounding, “Yes;” my regular physicals and blood work confirming my response. And while I still believe that to be true, what an eye opener the Diet Analysis project was, as far as understanding my actual nutritional intake in comparison to the Dietary Reference Intake (DRI) of nutrients recommended for optimal health and well-being. The following paragraphs not only detail the Diet Analysis PLUS program used for this project,…

    Barbara Brody, writer for WebMD, stated in an article reviewed by Joseph Goldberg, MD, that food providing our bodies with fuel is not the only reason for eating. Emotions can have a strong impact. Brody said you might eat due to being, “happy (birthday cake!), sad (who hasn't indulged in ice cream after a bad day?), or stressed (that 3 p.m. office chocolate break).” Of course, a once in a while treat in a healthy diet is no problem.…

    While nutritionists are interested in health beliefs in regards to food, nutrition and physical activity, they must also be interested in why and how people make choices on a regular basis. It is very evident food is often eaten the most in social contexts and involves negotiations within themselves or with outside parties. Being able to draw on theories is critical to gain full understanding of why people eat and how they change. Main parts to a theory are the constructs and variables. Constructs are mediators of the change.…

    What role does feelings, attitudes, conditioning and economics play in your food choices? Your feelings, attitude, conditioning, and economics play a big part in our day to day lives. Like most people I'm sure my emotions and mood play a big part in what or how I decide to eat on a day to day basis. If I feel happy or I'm in a good mood I could probably eat all day long on top of eating probably anything yummy that catches my eye at that moment. Otherwise when I become stressed, tired, or I am feeling blue I tend to eat next to nothing and this can go on for days unfortunately.…

I more focus on when I am hungry and when I am full. After experiencing this project, I can definitely say that my ways of eating have changed drastically.…

    I have learned a lot about nutrition so far over the course of this semester. This diet analysis project was probably the thing that I have least looked forward to having to complete. I know my diet is poor, I figured I ate too many bad foods, but I didn 't expect it to be lacking essential vitamins, minerals, and nutrients in so many different areas. It 's truly amazing to see foods I thought were "complete" and "good" for me, aren 't really, and may actually hinder me in the quest for a truly healthy diet.…

    Over the course of this class, I have learned quite a bit about what it takes to actually eat healthy and take care of my body. Coming into this class, I thought that I had already figured out most of what I had needed to know. Very quickly, I started to realize that there is a whole lot more to eating healthy than I had thought. Being as health conscious as I am, I immediately found the class very interesting, as it is one of the only classes that I have ever taken that can actually be applied to life on the daily. That is why I found the “My Diet Analysis” project to be extremely interesting.…

    In everyday life, dieting is the food a person consumes that can show what is and what is not healthy to eat. So, how does someone determine what is healthy or not because everyone in this world has a different body type. However, two authors have set out to write on such a topic. Michael Pollan, a nutritionist (Bullock 850), writes “Escape from the Western Diet” which is about Americans should completely cut out the Western diet because it consists of mostly processed food that is unhealthy for the body (Pollan 851). On the other hand, Mary Maxfield’s, a graduate student (Bullock 872), writes “Food as Thought: Resisting the Moralization of Eating” which is about how people should not moralize food because it is their body and they should be…

    From a young age, my parents have always enforced the idea of eating healthy constantly badgering me to eat my vegetables or have a piece of protein with my meals. Although I might not have understood why their reprimanding was important, over the course of these last few weeks in biology I have come to realize that having a sound diet in many ways encompasses what it means to be healthy and live life to its fullest. By actively moderating, recording, and learning about what I have been eating I can now clearly understand that my parents were right to encourage healthy eating in my home. My parent, specifically my mother, was always the one who cooked and influenced my healthy eating at a young age. When looking at my food logs for this…

    Nutrition An unknown author once stated, “The greatest wealth is Health.” When coming into this class I didn’t know much about health and the importance of physical exercise. The influences I have when I make my personal food choices are eating what I want but counting calories to make sure I’m not over the daily calorie intake. I try to make wise food choices but sometimes I get distracted when my friends or boyfriend want to go out to eat and I end up falling into a whole menu full of fat foods.…
