Were your daily menus typical for how you usually ea t? If not, how were they different? (1 point)
This is not how I usually eat. Last quarter and long, before it, the host usually bought us variety types of
food, but not that week. I used to have lots of meat such as pork and beef in my meal. I have salmon at least 2 a
week. And the host used to buy orange sand apples. I had more protein and vegetable than now.

What have you learned that will help you make better food choices to improve your diet? List 2 steps you
will take to improve your diet as a result of the project… (2 point)
By recording what I eat, I have the deeper understand about my dietary and my need. I learned that skipping
breakfast will make me eat more food during the night (around 10m to 12pm). And also, I realized that I need to
increase the portion of fruit and vegetable since I have the lack of many kind of vitamins and minerals.
2 steps I will take to improve my diet:
_ Keep recording on what I eat daily as a habit.
_ Ask the host or go buy fruit and vegetable myself to increase my vitamin and mineral portion.
