    Introduction For years it was a struggle for me to settle upon one diet plan or another because there was so much conflicting data about the nature of good nutrition in all of the books I read. The task of designing one's own proper eating program became even more difficult for me when during the course of research it was easy to find several "experts" contradicting one another. So what I'd like to share with you here is a nutritional program that is more scientific than opinion and I hope you'll see its merits from my presentation.…

    I consider myself an active person, trying to be at the gym at least 4 days a week. If I do not go to the gym, I still am walking all around campus and up and downstairs each time I walk into buildings. I aim to eat a variety of foods, including different types of vegetables and fruits each day. For example, if I grab an apple for a morning snack I will make sure that I will have a different kind of fruit for my afternoon snack so I have that variety in my daily diet such as a clementine or banana.…

    Fit Day nutrition analysis provided me with invaluable information about how to improve my diet in order to enhance my health and athletic performance. To achieve the most accurate results, I chose a “typical workout day” which was Wednesday, March 9, 2016 and a weekend “recovery day” on Saturday, March 12, 2016. I decided to record dietary information on Saturday instead of Sunday because next week begins one of the toughest weeks of training for outdoor track and field. Therefore, to loosen my muscles and prepare for this upcoming week, I will be running nine miles on Sunday, which will result in an atypical amount of exercise as wells as eating. I believe my analysis of Wednesday and Saturday gives me the most beneficial information.…

    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.…

In doing so, I created a report card giving myself a grade on the following categories: my diet, amount of sleep, stress management, and the amount of exercise in the past year. Over the past week I recorded my diet without regulation. I soon gave myself a D+ after the third day.…

    This class was actually very interesting and really helped me to open my eyes to the ways in which I have been not focusing on my physical health. When it comes to my present activity level, a lot has changed from the beginning of this class. I have to say that before this class I never made physical activity a priority in my day. I counted walking to class as a form of physical activity, which it was, but not enough. I am a lazy person and would rather be laying around watching Netflix than going to the gym.…

    When I first started this assignment, I thought it was going to be very tedious and would not interest me at all since I was just logging what I did in my everyday life and I didn’t see how it was going to benefit me in any way. Once started it, however, I realized that writing things down forces you to sit down and think about what you are doing every day and how much you should think about making some changes in your life that will have a positive impact. I enjoyed writing down what I ate every and how often I exercised. I definitely found the most difficult ones to be where you had to unplug for twenty-four hours without any technology and new strategies of coping with stress. I feel that exercising needs to become a bigger part of my everyday…
