In class we had a guest speaker come talk to us about nutrition. She gave us an assignment that involved us recording all the food that we ate within 3 days. Everyone had a different base of of much calories and fut they should be consuming a day. Mine was a little higher than others, but this is because I am an athlete and I exercize everyday. We also did a falcon market. In the falcon market we had different stations set up with different topics. I learned how to get the glycose index of a food. Also, that some of the places I eat food at such as starbucks, or taco bell, have healthier options than the ones I choose. I thought this was good to learn, because the food that I eat from restaurants is not always healthy. But now I know that I do have healthier options than what I choose.

       
         My diet could be better. I should be consuming more veggies everyday and I should Slow down on all the dairy and protein I eat. I recently learned that too much protein is not good. I always thought that I ate enough fruits and most of the time I do. I love fruit just because it replaces my dessert. I resort to fruit whenever I need a healthey alternative. After the three day food tracker I also learned that alot of the food I eat has empty calories. Maybe I do go overboard on eating food. But , I just think it is because I am a growing boy. I know now what I need to do to keep my nutrition up and keep a healthy balanced life style.
