When I began doing this project, I had no clue that with doing this project that I would learn a lot about the food that I consume. I also learning more about me and what’s going on within my body. The portions of food that I was consuming were all wrong. I’ve learned how to balance my meals to what I need to eat more of and what to stay away from or eat less of.
