HW 6 - Food Diary

 Aha classic...  Subways footlong oven roasted chicken breast on italian herbs and cheese bread, with cheddar cheese, lettuce, tomatoes, cucumbers, and honey mustard.  I like this sandwich for many reasons.  Chicken is one of my favorite foods, I like all the other things I put on the sandwich.  Also because it is a good amount of food for a relatively cheap price.  I think this is one of the healthier things I eat for lunch and it's $5.44 for this sandwich that's good bread.  Not quite as good as dollar pizza and dollar menu at McDonalds but it's good enough.  I don't really know how to explain how I feel while I eat but I'll try...  I was pretty satisfied the tastes go good together with the chicken and cheese and the vegetables and honey mustard.  Although this specific time the tomatoes tasted kind of weird and the bread was a little too hard, so I have had better experiences but satisfying none the less.
 This was dinner that my father made Wednesday night.  I'm not the biggest fan of this but I eat whatever's put in front of me, plus it's healthy so it's good to get some healthy in my diet so I don't die from a heart attack.  This is a salad with spinach with sweet potatoes.  I had three servings of the salad because it takes more to fill me up because it's a salad.  I also had two pillsbury biscuits which I really like.  This happens usually I will eat healthy dinners because it's what my parents make and they like eating healthy.  I don't have a problem with it usually because it isn't horrible and sometimes I like how it tastes but even if I don't I know it's good for me.



This was breakfast Thursday morning. I had left over biscuits from the night before with jelly on them, a peach yogurt, cantaloupe, strawberries, and chocolate milk.  This is a bigger breakfast then I usually eat, I usually have a bowl of cereal and some type of fruit.  I enjoyed this meal because I like the biscuits, the fruits were sweet, the chocolate milk had just enough Nesquik in it and the yogurt was just a normal yogurt.  I ate more then usual so I would stay full for longer and not be as hungry at lunch because I didn't have much money to spend.  That worked successfully and the meal was on point.


I couldn't exactly figure out the calories that I ate over the 48 hours.  But I have figured out before how many calories I should be taking in and how many calories I do take in and I figured out that I take in more than I am supposed to but I don't pay too much mind to it.  I know that I really like eating and I don't believe in counting calories (I was just interested in seeing that one time).  The nutrition for the meals above that I ate vary.  I think that all of the foods that I posted up are somewhat healthy, the other two foods I had were beef tacos, and a crispy chicken deluxe meal from Wendy's.  So I think that some of my foods are healthy but some are also very unhealthy.  I feel I picked the food I did because I like the  taste of the food and because it is cheap, there were also foods that I ate that I didn't pick but was just meals that my parents made for me.  I feel good about the food I ate over the past 48 hours because I thought it all tasted good and there was a balance in the healthiness.

  1. Jasper,

    Maybe the best breakfast anyone described.

    Your blog seems solid to me -your chapter responses fine. They could certainly be improved with more precision, more vivid prose, and better editing. But I'm convinced you're learning.
