Granola

When you first walk into speedway it can be a little awkward because you walk straight into the checkout line. Then after you get through or go around the checkout line you have to go to the back which is a room with concrete floors and some of the products. When you first walk in there is a small trash can to your right and then a shelf of candy, chips, and cookies. Then straight in front of you is a shelf full of boxes, some just have supplies in them other have creamers for the coffee. Then…

McAlisters cups. I did not keep any of the hygene items in the bag, but I do have a significant amount of those that I use. I recycle as much as possible from water bottles to cardboard boxes to cans. One thing I consumed a lot was food wrappers from granola bars. I play club volleyball and we happened to have an away tournament this past weekend. I kept all my snack bar wrappers and realized that that made up a significant amount of my trash, proving to me that different lifestyles consume and…

woke up with a sigh of content. The wind carried the smell of pine into his open window. The rough grain oak of his roof seemed to grin down at him as he sat up and stared at the interior of his cabin. On the stone floor lay his dusty jacket, a few granola bar wrappers that dominated the south west corner of his cabin, and a sleeping dog with graying fur and white whiskers. “Aye Jack get up” Joey whispered to the old beast, “wake up and lets go play oe he was outside.” This sentence got the old…

the warm fire, a bald eagle soared above the 8,775 ft tall canyons. Meanwhile, everyone began to abraid. Today's itinerary included sea kayaking through the slim river between the canyons. Breakfast this morning consisted of Quaker's oatmeal, and granola bars. I made my way back to my ice blue tent, changing into a swimsuit rashguard, shorts, and my hot pink water shoes almost as bright as bubblegum. Packing our belongings…

You avoid that because it is obviously the unhealthy option. So instead, you eat three 100 gram bars of granola that have higher levels of fiber and good proteins. But each bar contains 391.3 calories. This means that in one sitting, you already consumed: 1,173.9 calories. The “healthy” granola bar became more fattening than the “unhealthy” chocolate bar. The same goes with beverages. Let us suppose that you went on a pineapple juice only diet…

Through the last five days, I kept track of the foods and beverages I consumed and the portions of the meals. I also made note of how I was feeling each day and how much energy I had throughout each day. As the textbook, Nutrition: Your Life Science, stated in Module 1, the characteristics of a healthy and balanced diet consists of “moderation, variety, balance, and adequacy with Calorie control” (Turley and Thompson 31). In the past week, I have attempted to follow these characteristics by…

Look around. Breakfast is advertised everywhere – from billboards, to commercials, to promotional “All day breakfast” campaigns, to even in middle school health classes. Eating a healthy breakfast – let alone eating breakfast at all – has become a social norm and is arguably the cornerstone of a healthy diet. To most individuals, the thought of eating a healthy and delicious breakfast sounds extremely appetizing. However, it does not appeal to the author of “The Truth About Breakfast.” To him,…

down into tiny grains or shreds. Then the pieces are cooked, rolled, and molded. After that flavor is put into the pieces. What are some of the flavors that are in cereal? Some cereals are made with natural flavors. Those are made with fruit and granola. Another thing that is in cereal is syrup. Syrup is put into cereal to make the meal taste better. Sugar is also put into cereal. Sugar is supposed to make the meal more sweet and not plain. What makes cereal float? Buoyancy determines whether…

other crew mates and I ripped open my bag of breakfast and began to devour. Completely absorbed in my Stinger Bar, I failed to notice the purple sunrise condensing in the distance. My friend, Matt, elbowed me in the gut and through a face full of granola, I peered up to gaze upon the most awe-inspiring moment I have ever experienced in my life. In that moment I realized my childish whining and useless resistance had resulted in nothing, but that instead, all the time and effort that I had…

Journal Entry: I woke up late for class this morning, so I didn’t get to eat a good breakfast. I went to the store on the way to campus and got some orange juice and a granola bar to tide to over until after my classes. I wouldn’t necessarily count this as one of my two days that I get to go out and eat because it was a snack and it was partially healthy. When I got out of class, I made a couple of sandwiches while I did the last day in my journal so I could submit it before I went to work. On…
