Nutrition: Onlin Lab


1. How healthy a daily diet do you think this is? Why?
This is a very poor diet, and I should be embarrassed. It just so happened that the day I did this Lab I was working on a job site and short on cash. It is very convenient and quick to run to Del Taco and grab a combo. The food is okay but I know it is bad for me. That night I went out with a friend and Alfonso’s sounded good. The overall caloric intake for that day is way over what my norm intake should be.

2. What would you change about this day's eating, if anything?
I would have to change all of it. The issue is poor planning on my part and I didn’t pack a lunch to take with me. I have healthier food at home and just need to prepare before I go to work. That night was a treat for me and I could have eaten better at home. When you think about the food and look at the charts and the nutrition guides it is kind of disgusting.

3. Do you find this kind of nutritional tracking helpful? Why or why not?
Like the main issue of a poor diet, the nutritional guide is just an inconvenience if you don’t plan on setting time aside to use it. It can be very helpful in managing your diet and I would like to try and use it in the future. Shopping for the health foods is another scheduling issue and just needs some proper planning as well.
