Daily Plate and Food Pyramid - Essay Example

My diet consists mostly of beef, iced tea, and fast food.  Sometimes I would have chicken and fruit but these days were not very common. I also tend to skip meals due to a busy schedule. As a result, these occurrences are empty in the excel file.

I know I can improve the kinds of food I eat in order to have a more nutritious diet. I can plan accordingly so that the amount of food I eat corresponds to the food pyramid. (Food Pyramid, n.d.) I should try and eat more vegetables, dairy products, and fish. I can also avoid skipping meals because this only makes me hungrier. Consequently, I end up eating more than I should. I know a little fat is good for my body. Nevertheless, with the data I have gathered, I believe I have been eating more than the proper amount of fatty foods. From now on, I believe I should be more aware of what I eat and the nutrients it can give me. This way I can monitor the number of carbohydrates, fat, and protein I take in.
