Staying healthy is a hard thing to do, especially when you do not really have the time or motivation to pay attention to what you eat. I have a habit of buying and eating a lot of frozen foods, which includes frozen pizzas, beer battered fish filets, macaroni and cheese, and garlic bread. I also cook some boxed dinners like hamburger or tuna helper to save time on cooking. In my daily diet there is usually not a lot of fruits and vegetables in my daily diet, unless there is some kind of tomato sauce or sides of vegetables. When comparing the three day diet analysis I have realized that there is not any consistency in my diet. One day I am eating a suffiecient amount of grains and then the other day I am eating a sufficient amount of vegetables. There has been a steady amount of bad fats in my diet and this plays a huge role in why I am overweight.
On May11, 2012 I consumed 1738 calories, my diet is not at all what the Food Pyramid recommends. I consumed: 1 ½ ounces of grains and the target is 6 ounces, 1 ¾ cups of vegetables and the target is 2 ½ cups, no fruit and the target was 1 ½ cups, ¾ cups of dairy and the target is 3 cups, and 2 ounces of proteins and the target is 5 ounces. My diet has more fat than recommended and I have not reached the target serving sizes recommended by the Food Pyramid. I will have to do some modification to my diet in order to be healthy. I will try to cook every meal so that I can control the calorie intake, and I will have to choose healthier choices. As a mother of two I have to show my kids how to eat healthy so I will look up some healthy recipes and follow the food pyramid. It has been said that your meals should be colorful and have variety, I have a habit of eating a lot of the same things. When eating starches I could choose whole grain bread or pasta. Instead of kool aid I could drink water. Buy fresh fruit instead of
