14-Day Nutrition and Physical Activity Log
Over the 14-day period I have learned a lot about what I consume and how much I consumed. Also, how much physical activity I do. Over all I started by trying to keep my daily calorie intake at a reasonable amount according to my height and weight. 1,200 calories were what I came up with after doing some research on how much I should consume according to my height and weight measurements. After entering everything I ate and drank over this time I have realized that most days I would either go under my needed calorie intake or I would go over that amount. This show that my diet is not balanced enough. A balanced diet is one that gives your body the nutrients it needs to function correctly. It is important because your organs and tissues need proper nutrition to work effectively. Without good nutrition, your body is more prone to disease, infection, fatigue, and poor performance. I also noticed that I would consume more fats and sodium, than fruits and vegetables, which would help with balancing my diet. Furthermore, after reading, most days I noticed I would consume various amounts of ‘empty calories.” You should limit your consumption of “empty calories,” or those that provide little or no nutritional value. The USDA defines empty calories as calories that come from sugars and solid fats, such as butter and shortening. Most of these would be snacks that I would just eat instead of whole balanced meals my body needs to contain the energy and nutrients it needs to function. What I would like to take away from this exercise is eating a healthier and more balanced diet. A balanced diet are foods that are low in unnecessary fats and sugars but high in vitamins, minerals, and other nutrients. Eating more fruits and veggies and less fats and “empty calories, I believe will help me achieve this diet.
