Reflections

• What have you learnt about your eating habits?

I have learnt that I can still make my diet healthier. By consuming less sodium, less protein and more dietary fibre, I think my eating habits can improve and I would be able to lead a healthier, happier lifestyle. I can do so by eating less food that are high in sodium, such as the hamburger and eating food with more dietary fibre, such as fruits, vegetables and wholemeal breads.

• Do you consider your diet a healthy one? Why?

Yes, I do. I eat a healthy amount of carbohydrates, protein, total fat, saturated fat and cholesterol and I do not eat much unhealthy foods often. 

• Are the suggested nutritional tools useful? How?

Yes. They allow me to calculate the calories I have consumed and gives me a comprehensive insight into my dietary habits, allowing me to monitor whether my diet is within recommended range so I can eat healthily and lead a healthier lifestyle. 

• Why is your suggested one-dish meal healthy?

It consists of many vegetables, which are high in fire, vitamins and minerals. It also contains wholemeal bread, which is also high in fibre. It is pan-fried instead of deep fried, thus uses less oil so less fats are present in this dish.
