Self Analysis.


Week Days (Monday) [28.2.2011]:

                          The first graph shows that I have burnt more energy than I have taken in. This is because I don't get enough time to take in food. The school bus arrives at my house by 6:30 A.M. I have to wake up by 5:30 A.M. and get myself ready. I really dont have enough time to take in a good amount of breakfast. I only take 1 piece of pancake. Even for lunch and dinner I am not able to take in much of food. More over the day being a Monday I had to spend a lot of energy trying to stay awake. I also use a lot energy in trying to complete my home works because I had all important subjects the next day. All these caused me to burn more energy than I took in. I will have to take in more food in order to keep my weight constant.

                            Since I took some form of rice all three times on Monday, my carbohydrates are high (Rice contains a lot of carbohydrates). I took some amount apple juice which contained some fiber in them. The chicken, brownie and the chips that I took contained some amount of fat. I will have to take foods that are rich in Vitamins and minerals because I am lacking them. To get a balanced diet i will have to take in more amount of vitamin rich food and less amount of carbs.

                             The pie chart shows that my amounts of Carbs, fats and proteins are well balanced. But I really need to take in some vitamins.




Week ends (Thursday, Holiday) [3.3.2011]:

                                The first graph shows that I have burned more energy than I have taken in. This is because of the irregular intake of food. I did not take in the right amount of food at the right time. I spent some of my energy that day talking to my neighbor and completing some of my assignments. I will have to take in more food in order to keep my weight constant.

                                 Since I took some fish that day, the amount of proteins is quite high. Since I took in some amount of rice and Wheat pancakes, the amount of carbs is also quite high. I will have to take a lot more of foods that are rich in Vitamins and minerals since I am badly in need of them. I have got some amount of fat also because of the snack that I took. I will have a balanced diet only when I try to eat some foods that are rich in Vitamins and minerals.

                                  The pie chart shows that I have more amount of carbs and fat than proteins. I will really need them to have a physical growth. I also need some Vitamins to keep myself in a balanced state.


Daily allowance in relation to what I ate:

                                   I feel that I am getting better diet on a weekday than on a weekend. This might be because that I spend more time during a weekend only on relaxing rather than taking food on the right time. But on the other hand on a weekday my diet is planned on the right time. More over I will have to rush to my classes and I try to make myself relaxed during the breaks by eating some food. But still the amount of food that I take in is much lesser than the food that is burnt. I still have to improve my diet on both weekdays and weekends. So I will have to take in more amount of food and try to get some time to eat food.

  1. This assignment is well done Judith. You did a good job of keeping track of your food intake as well as analyzing your dietary habits. What types of foods do you need to eat to increase your Vitamins,particularly A,E and D?
