For the purpose of coming up with a food budget what I did first is count up the total of points I had in class which came up to a total of 93.89 points. In order to find out my financial income what I did was is I multiplied my amount of points by twenty, finally giving me the total of $1877.8. Since we had only been in class for three weeks I then divided my financial income by three overall totaling an amount of $625.93 now this would be my average amount of money I had made per week.

I will also use a spoon of peanut butter to give it a better taste. I still have some lettuce, it doesn’t look as bad, I have 2 pieces of ham, and a slice of cheese I will be making more likely a salad. I slice my ham in squares. My lettuce is already chopped, finally I will shred cheese, and I will finally eat. Today for dinner I’m much hungrier.

    “Don’t Blame the Eater,” writes David Zinczenko, president of a global health and wellness media company, who also asserts that obesity is becoming a genuine medical problem. Before 1994, he emphasizes, the rate of diabetes between children was so low that it could have been called a cultural stereotype, but, now, one out of three teenagers suffer by “obesity-related” problems. David Zinczenko claims that “the lack of information” about fast-foods and the deficit for the affordable supplementary for the fast-food restaurants are main reasons for the obesity issues; confusing explanations of calories perplex teenagers and lead them towards obesity while America possesses 13,000 McDonald’s restaurants, and it’s more complex to find a way to the…

    I agree with the author, Eric Schlosser’ he claims that he presented to us in the book, Fast Food Nation in the chapter “Cogs in The Great Machine”. Schlosser presents us with the ways how the fast food nation has changed the communities around us. In this essay, I will talk about the changes of our community, Obesity in children and adults, Slaughterhouses, a liability of workers, the truth behind fast food, why people like fast food, advice to people who love fast food.

    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.

    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.…

    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…
