Reflections on other blogs

Madeline Tan:
She had some unhealthy food but makes up for it but at least having healthy breakfasts and that's very important to give her the energy for the day ahead of her. However, she must be careful not to take too much fast food, as they have a heavy trans-fat content.

Yuli Ardini:
She does not take enough solid foods and should take more than snacks, as they would provide more important vitamins and proteins.

Ting Yang Gin
She has a high intake of fat content, and has to watch not to exceed the healthy diet restrictions. However, she has a high intake of vitamins from the alternatives of vegetables that she take.

Reflections

After this activity, I have had a better understanding of nutritional values of food. This has highlighted the importance of eating in moderation and keeping a balance when necessary.

I have used the graphs and charts of HPB to better analyze my food intake and now know the healthier options for home-cooked food.

I will now plan my meals and take fast food last frequently, taking the initiative to cook at home.

Not only will I become trimmer, my nutritional intake will increase and I would have a faster growth rate. I would also lower the risks of diseases when I grow older.

Suggest one-dish meal

Sliced-fish Noodles

This is a moderate mix of MSG and condensed milk, which are a little fattening. It has a light flavor and should not be too salty. Fish and vegetables are being used, adding to the nutritional value.

Day 3

Breakfast: milo and two slices of raisin bread with margarine

recess: lor mee

Lunch: 1 pack of LAYS' BBQ chips / pink dolphin drink

dinner: rice (1 serving) / sausage omelette and stewed brocolli (2 servings)



I did not have a proper lunch because my recess was heavy. I added alot of vinegar to my lor mee and thus, it was a little acidic, but it was a healthier alternative to soysauce. Stewed brocolli and the omelette were cooked with less oil and salt, making it a healthier choice. I also specifically requested for brown rice and therefore it had a lower fat content.

Day 2

Breakfast: orange juice and egg-and-ham sandwich

recess: dumpling noodles

lunch: chicken kebab sandwich

dinner: Hawaiian pizza (2 slices) / 2 starrie munchies



I started with a healthy breakfast, but had very heavy meals which were high in fat and low in vitamins and nutrition. they contained mostly poultry. According to the FOOD INTAKE ASSESSMENT, it was a high intake of energy, but fortunately, had a small amount of trans fat.

Day 1

breakfast: milo and croissant

recess: lo mai kai

lunch: tuna quiche/apple crumble

dinner: rice (1 portion), fish and pork (1 portion each), some kailan with oyster sauce


today was a pretty healthy day because we made food in school. it could however be improved if wholemeal flour was used.
using the calorie counter, it stated that i would need about 1700 calories, although it should a little overestimated as I'm younger than 18.
