As someone with complex dietary restrictions, I was impressed that Aileen was able to provide a well-rounded and grain-free meal plan for me. I know that she was even more challenged since I am currently at my parents’ home and do not have my normal kitchen tools or even access an allergy friendly kitchen.
I followed her meal plan as best as I could on Tuesday, October 13 starting with making the bone broth on the night before. This took me longer than usual since I needed to babysit the broth on the stove instead of using my crockpot. I prepared the bone broth and spinach with avocado, as instructed, for breakfast. The bone broth was rich and hearty; however, I had a difficult time with eating garlic first thing in the morning. I set aside the spinach and avocado for later.

I really enjoyed the Waldorf Chicken Salad. The mix of the fruit with the chicken and arugula had a nice balance. I did add a tablespoon instead of a teaspoon of Dijon mustard since the one teaspoon seemed a bit sparse for the amount of ingredients. This is a recipe that I will certainly use again. Since I had a half of an apple left remaining from the salad, I had that as a snack with some almond butter after lunch.
For dinner, I made the Beef and Broccoli Stir Fry. I did not have a wok large enough for this dish, so I had to make it in a pot which is probably why it came out more watery than a usual stir fry. In the future, I would probably cook the garlic and onions first before adding the meat and then consider increasing the coconut aminos and ginger a little more to give it more intensity. Of course, this is just more of a personal preference.
Then, I realized that I did not eat my spinach and avocado, so I ate this after dinner. The garlic content seemed more on par with lunch or dinner, and the avocado added a nice balance to the

My throat almost seemed to sizzle as I took a deep breath smelling spices like annatto and orégano brujo invading my senses. My first full meal was spiced chicken with arroz con pollo and a side of fried plantains, broccoli, asparagus, and carrots. Me not being a fan of spicy things was surprised to find that the spice in the chicken when mixed with the sweetness of the plantains and the sauce on the beans came together and balanced each other out so perfectly. The explosion of flavor in the food was so different from anything I’ve ever

So for eggs I have been eaten for breakfast is very high of protein and orange juice is high in vitamin C. The cereal that I normally eat would be tootie fruities has essential vitamins such as vitamin a, calcium, and iron. Sometimes for breakfast I would eat plain toast which is high in carbohydrates or add cinnamon which is good for yeast infections, lowering cholesterol, reduce inflammation and fight bacteria . For lunch, I would eat my meats such as meatloaf which is good for protein along with brown gravy on top. With that I would eat mashed potatoes which is loaded with carbohydrates and sometimes I will eat two hot dogs even though the weeners is high in sodium which can cause high blood pressure and the buns are considered carbohydrates. For beverage during lunch, sometimes sweet tea which can be unhealthy since it has sugar and maybe fruit punch which is nothing but mix of fruit, water and sugar.
I wish to study the “Nutrition” bachelor 's degree course because health is the most important thing in our live. Although “health is wealth”, health is priceless. That is why we have to be more concern about what we eat every day. Otherwise, you have a lot of money but you still can not do anything to gain the health. So, if we do not eat healthy, we will get sick easily; especially having malnutrition, obesity or anorexia.
...ient consumption is not as healthy as I might want to believe. I realized that consuming foods in some of the basic groups such as dairy and grains is not enough to have a healthy diet. You have to understand what foods provide healthy amounts of vitamins, minerals, and nutrients, needed. I need to watch my fat, cholesterol, phosphorus, and zinc intake. Over the two days, I needed to increase my vitamin A, vitamin D, vitamin E, folate, and potassium consumption. There are a variety of foods that could be easily added to my daily diet that can help to increase the areas where I am lacking in vitamins and minerals. This dietary assessment has taught me a lot about my own eating habits and has inspired me to modify them for a healthier lifestyle. Probably the biggest change I will make after having done this project is to increase my intake of vegetables and fruits.

I chose to have the same meal for breakfast, lunch and dinner for three days, not in a row, of course. So day one, two and three will look the same; it is roughly what I consume on a regular basis, I really didn’t have to alter my meals much at all, only to make sure I had the same meals each day.
