My Food Intake

First Day: 

          On the first of this project I had a smoothie and an egg for breakfast. For lunch I had a cream cheese and mixed greens salad. For dinner I had curry with rice and asparagus. 

My breakfast contained 

1 Banana 

2 Handfuls of Strawberries and raspberries  

1 Handful of mango 

1 Cup French yogurt 

1 Fried egg 

Approx. 380 cal.

My Lunch Contained:

A healthy spread of Cream cheese 

2 Handfuls of mixed greens 

2 slices of Gluten free rice bread

Approx. 300

My Dinner Contained: 

1 Bowl of Curry (Chick peas, Lentils, Potatoes..)

1 Serving of Rice 

1 Serving of Asparagus
Approx 600 cal.

My Snacks:
200g Dried Mango
150g Whole Grain Rice Crackers
Approx. 150 cal.

Drinks:
1 Liter of Water
2 Cups of milk 2%
1 cup of juice

       According to the Canadian daily food guide I obtained the amount of fruit and vegetables. I did not meet the expectation for grain serving, I missed it by three more grain servings. I meet the requirements for milk products or alternatives. I met the requirements for meat and alternatives with one egg and a bowl of curry with chickpeas. All of the fruit and vegetables were fresh except for the dried mango. The only packaged food I consumed was the whole grain rice crackers, cream cheese and yogurt. I would say it is about a 80% Fresh 20% Packaged food. I consumed and estimated 1740 calories.
