This blog could be better if the authors tabulated their 3 day diet instead. There is also no usage of HPB tools.

This blog would be better if the author had been more detailed about the food she ate. Also, she seemed to have simply copy and pasted information from the HPB tools.
She does not eat healthily enough as she takes in too much fat.

This blog is very neat and well done. However it could be neater by having the 3 day diet in a table.
She does take in a mixture of healthy and unhealthy food, and seems to understand clearly what is healthy and unhealthy.

Reflections
What have you learnt about your eating habits?
I learnt that my eating habits are not exactly healthy, and after this project I shall try to make it healthier.
Do you consider your diet a healthy one? Why?
I do consider my diet a moderately unhealthy one as I do not take in enough servings of fruits & vegetables everyday, causing lack of dietary fibre, have dinner slightly too late etc. On some days I do not really think about my diet and hence the catastrophe in the second day.
however, it is not all that unhealthy as I do not take supper, or a lot of sugary food and junk food.
Are the suggested nutritional tools useful? How?
Yes, they are useful. They let me understand what I really am eating and how healthy it is, what my body is taking too much, and what my body lacks. However, the nutritional tools would be even more useful if they were more userfriendly.
Why is your suggested one-dish meal healthy?
Even though it's not cooked, but it's something my diet lacked (all that dietary fibre!) and hence I chose fruits as my one-dish meal.

3 day diet
29 January 2010
Using the calorie calculator from HPB, it is stated that I need an estimated 2001kcal of calories. However the estimation may be slightly inaccurate as there is no option for 14 years old when selecting age.
My diet for this day started off healthily but ended off unhealthy. I had a very healthy breakfast shortly after I woke up, ate my recess, and had fast food for lunch and dinner.
4 Carbohydrates/alternatives
2 Veggies & fruits
3 Meat
30 January 2010
This day was extremely unhealthy. I was out with friends and the day was not planned well at all and we didn't have the luxury of eating healthily. The next time I go out shopping with friends I would make a better effort for eating healthily.
This is the table given to me after taking the Food Intake Assessment from HPB.
It is very evident that this diet is bad. I have taken in
31 January 2010
My diet for this day is probably the best out of the 3 days.
One thing that could be improved is that to change white bread to wholemeal bread wholemeal bread is far more nutritious.

| % of total energy intake | |

| Your diet | Recommendation |
| Total Carbohydrates | 36% | 55 - 65% |
| Total Protein | 9% | 10 - 15% |
| Total Fat | 55% | 25 - 30% |
It is very evident that this diet is bad. I have taken in
- Too much fat, which can result in high blood cholesterol, heart disease and other related health problems.
- Not enough dietary fibre, which is needed for proper bowel functions, reducing blood cholesterol and controlling blood glucose levels
- not enough Calcium, which may lead to osteoporosis.
