HW 6

To start the day off I had to natures valley granola bars and a bottle of water. The bars were 360 calories together and water of course no calories. For lunch I then ate two slices of pizza which is approximately 300 calories. All the grease on the pizza didnt help either. To go along with the pizza I had a vitamin water which is 150 calories. To finish the day off i had some frozen burritos which were 500 calories and a glass of orange juice which is 110 calories but my serving size was quite big so I think 200 calories would be more accurate. That means for the first day I consumed 1510 calories which is less than what my daily intake should be. However I did not eat to healthy.

The second day I ate a bacon egg and cheese sandwich for breakfast which is about 500 calories. I had orange juice with that which is 110 calories. For lunch I ate pizza once again. I had two slices therefore it was about 300 calories. Finally for dinner I had pasta and meatballs which is around 650 calories. I drank a tall glass of orange juice once again so that is another 200 calories. All together that is 1860 calories.

It seems although I am not eating particularly healthy I am still under the amount of calories I should. Obviously my count of calories is not completely accurate and they may have been higher than what I recorded. However both days I did a lot of physical activity and felt fine both times. My decisions for food were mostly based on convinience and what was available to me at the moment.

I do not think much when I am choosing what to eat during the day. It is like a repetitive motion, I am so used to it I just do it rather than think about it first. My choices on what to eat are not thought through but the decision is made on simply what I feel like eating. I am so used to just picking whatever sounds tasty that I dont think about what I am eating. I do feel a difference when I eat healthy and when I dont but I can still get away with eating unhealthy since I am young and play sports constantly. I think because eating unhealthy does not have any affect on my appearance although i know i should have a better diet it is not a priority for me and therefore I don't follow through with eating healthier food.
