    Leon tracked her calorie intake for a week and was surprised to find she consumed 11,975 calories total. Her healthiest day was Friday, where she had eggs for breakfast (156 calories), a chicken bowl for lunch (650 calories), and chicken noodle soup for dinner (348 calories), totaling 1,154 calories. From tracking her intake, she learned she needs to watch what she eats more closely as most of her food was unhealthy, cut down on sweets, and incorporate more fruits and vegetables into her diet. Some goals she set were to replace milkshakes with water when dining out, reduce candy intake by eating more fruit cups, and stop drinking soda in favor of juice.

    Calorie Intake Reflection

    Last week I was tasked to track my calorie intake and was I surprised when I calculate

    my calories. My total calorie intake for the week was 11,975. The healthiest meal option that was

    on the table was for Friday Oct 18th. On that day I had 2 hard boiled eggs for breakfast that was

    156 calories. For lunch I had a chicken bowl from Waba Grill that was 650 calories. The last

    thing I ate from that day was chicken noodle soup which was 348 calories. The total calories

    intake for Friday Oct 18th was 1,154. The reason why I think it was the healthiest option is

    because the calorie intake was low compared to the other meals for the week; Also the bowl and

    the chicken noodle soup were healthy food options not because they are low in calories but

    because they have chicken which has protein in it.

    One thing that I learned from this project is that I need to watch what I eat because most

    of the food that I ate last week is very unhealthy. I also learned that 3 out of those 7 days my

    calorie intake was above 1,500. I also came to the realization that I need more veggies and fruits

    in my diet because out of those 7 days I only had watermelon in one day and that's it. Another

    thing I learned is that I need to cut down on the sweets because on Sunday Oct 13th I had a

    chocolate shake and a chocolate ice cream. On Tuesday Oct 15th I ate nothing but unhealthy

    food that day. For lunch I had a carnitas burrito that was 1165 calories alone and a coke that was
    Leon 2

    another 150 calories. For dinner I had 2 carne asada tacos which was 282 calories and on top of

    that I had another coke which was another 150 calories.

    Every time I go out to eat at In-N-Out I always get a milkshake so one goal I have set is

    when I go out to eat at In-N-Out I will replace the vanilla milkshake (580 calories) with water (0

    calories). The reason why I would replace it is because it is a healthier option and water is good

    for the body. I will also be reducing my calorie intake by 580 calories. Another goal I have set is

    to reduce the candy intake and start eating more fruit cups. The reason why is because fruit cups

    contain vitamins and minerals that are good for the body. Candy does that contain that and is

    actually unhealthy for the body. The third goal that I have set is to stop drinking soda and start

    drinking juice more often. I drank 5 sodas which totaled to 792 calories combined. If I were to

    cut it down to apple juice it would be 565 calories which is less than the soda. It would also be a

    healthier drink than soda.
