My current eating habits are not very good. I am well aware of this, and my excuse is that I am a father of two that works full time, attends online college part time, has a dad that is very medically involved and children that are in sports, and I have recently joined a gym that I try to attend three nights a week. My life is very rushed and busy all the time. After filling out my super tracker report, and viewing my results, I have to say that I was not surprised. It looks as though I haven’t consumed enough vitamins in the last three days and I am over the recommended guidelines on the fat and saturated fats. My serving sizes are usually over the recommended guidelines as I do not eat as frequently as I should. I usually eat two meals a day, maybe three. I have recently been trying to lose weight and starting to eat better. I am trying to be healthier and have started drinking 3 liters of water each day. I have learned that there are six classes regarding nutritional requirements, which are carbohydrates, fats, proteins, vitamins, minerals and water. I do like bread, pasta and rice and there is where my carbohydrates fit into my diet (too much) and protein in my meats and fats in my greasy favorites (not good). I am not much of a fruit and veggie person, but I know it is something that I need to force into my diet. I should cut out the fried, fatty foods such as fried mushrooms, fried chicken, french fries, and instead be eating broiled fish, chicken breasts, and vegetables. I do know what I should be doing, but it seems like such hard work to maintain these good eating habits. My wife always makes sure to keep a basket of fruit on the kitchen table to have easy access to a banana or an apple or orange on our way by, and by me eating healthier, I will be a better example to my family. We do have nights where things aren’t so rushed, and I have time
