 Day 1 Improvements:

  1. My number one improvement must definitely be my calorie consumption. According to eaTracker, being active, I must consume about 2500-3000 calories a day but I’m only consuming about 1000-1500 calories daily, more precisely, 1411 calories on Tuesday September 15th.
  2. The nutrient section showed that my fats intake was low, my recommended amount was 84.5-118.3g but my intake was 49.1g. I should try eating healthy fats like avocado’s which is a great source of healthy fats and nuts.
  3. Thirdly my Carbohydrates intake is low, recommended intake 343-494g but I’m only taking 179g.  I should try to eat more lentils, more breads, cereal, bananas, dried fruits. My Milks and alternatives are really low actually none at all. So I should try having 1 cup of yogurts. Cereal and milk or just milk and cheese.

Day 2 Improvements:

  1. My first improvement for day 2 is to increase my calorie intake, I increased my calorie intake by about 900 calories but so it was at 2307 calories. I still could do better, since I should be in between 2500 and 3000 calories a day.
  2. Secondly I still haven’t tried increasing my fats intake. I don’t want to make any excuses for not having any. I will definitely try balancing my meals as well, trying healthier fats and incorporating them into my daily meals.
  3. Thirdly, I increased my milks but not enough as my recommended amount 3-4 servings I had 2.5 servings. This day my fruits and vegetables where lower than day 1 only 5.5 when I should be in between 7-8. I should have some more apples, bananas, carrots and more.
