Nutrition And Eating Habits

Throughout the entire day I had lean protein with 2 out of 3 of my meals. I had none for breakfast, 2 servings of cut up chicken breasts for lunch, and one full serving of chicken for dinner. While doing this experiment I did not change anything about my eating habits and I believe this day was a pretty accurate depiction upon how I eat every day, and my main consumption of lean protein is chicken. I never predetermine my serving sizes because it never crosses my mind and I always just eat what I want, but randomly enough, based on my results I stuck to the norm for serving sizes for almost all of my food groups.

If I can add more veggies to my meals and I larger variety I should see a rise in nutrition as well. I would benefit from changing these because it give me a fuller and healthier diet filled with the proper nutrients I need to help me get where I want to go physically. I think it is easier to modify these steps into smaller increments like once or twice a week, but as long as I start somewhere hopefully I get the hang of things and it will come naturally just like when I quit drinking
