I feel like diet wise I do pretty okay. I know what I need to be doing but it's often easier said then done.
Strengths- My strengths are that I am aware of what I need to do, what foods are healthy and what foods are not for the most part I carry out what I "should" be doing.
Weaknesses- My biggest weaknesses are that I like a lot of foods that are not very good. I like to eat out and order take out.
I use myfitnesspal to track my meals and according to that for my weight and activity level I should be taking in:
Calories: 1,520
Carbohydrates: 190 grams
Protein: 76 grams
Fat: 51 grams
The key to a healthy diet is eating as few whole and unprocessed foods as possible. When I was going through my account on my fitness pal, I came across a day that was a great balance. It looked like this
Breakfast:
Whole wheat toast- 1 piece
Egg- 1
Greek yogurt
Lunch-
A salad made by me of fresh mozarella, avocado, grape tomatoes and balsamic vinegar.
Dinner-
Chicken breast- 1 cup
Peas- 1 cup
Brown rice- 1/2 cup
Snacks-
Apple- 1
KIND bar (chcoclate cherry cashew)- 1
I came in at:
1,497 Calories
56 grams of fat
97 grams of protein
143 grams of Carbohydrates
I need to increase my fruit and vegetable intake, for sure.
