Here is a photo of the Clay pot meal I took on 1/9/10. It contains rice and chicken in case you can't really see the chicken cos it is like the same colour as the rice.
I will like to modify it by adding vegetables to increase the dietary fibre content in the meal and also to remove the skin of the chicken before cooking it to reduce the amount of fats.
After the suggestion of a healthy meal, it is the part of reflecting of the process and learning point of this PT.
Hereby, I will say that I learnt a lot from this PT. Firstly, I learnt from my eating habit that I generally eat food of the protein and fats groups and little of the vegetable group.
Thus, I do not consider my diet healthy. this is due to that I consume little of the vegetable group which is important in providing essential dietary fibre to aid ease constipation. Also, I consume large amount of sweet which is unhealthy to my teeth and will be store as fats if unused. Also, I eat supper which is unhealthy as the digested food will be store as fats as through the night only small amount of energy is needed.
The nutritional tools provided is useful as it is fairly accurate for it required us to key in the amount taken for each food and not the amount generally. The food intake assessment allowed me to have a general idea of the nutrients I lack and it was according to the RDA, making it accurate. Overall, the tools allow me to know the composition of each type of food allowing me to know whether to increase in the quantity eaten or reduce it, leading me to lead a healthier lifestyle. I also find the tools effective as it even allow meal that are home-cooked and not only the general food sold in public places.
The suggested one-meal dish is healthy as with the vegetables, the composition of the food will be more balanced and also will provide the dietary fibre which I lacked. Also with the removal of the chicken skin, it reduces the fats intake which will also decrease the risk of heart related diseases.
That's about it.
