Food. We often gorge down portions of it without ever thinking, what exactly are we eating?

Did you know, that in your usual hamburger, contains about 9.5 grams of fat alone?



In all foods that we intake daily, we consume different amounts of nutrients like calcium, fibre, sodium and iron.

Along with this comes the RDDA (Recommended Daily Dietary ),in which states our recommended daily intake of certain nutrients in our diet, and many others, like the Food Pyramid.

Many do not realise they are consuming more or less than what they require daily. This may lead to appearance of ailments and severe lack/excess consumption of essential nutrients may even lead to serious consequences.

Different people require different amounts of nutrients to sustain a healthy lifestyle. For example, a normal teenage schoolgirl only requires 800mg of calcium while a pregnant woman may require up to 1600mg of it! As different people have different lifestyle habits and different needs, their RRDA vary.

With this module, we have learned much about a healthy, regular diet and other examples of unhealthy diets. With this knowledge in hand, we set out to find a way to increase our dietary balance. First off, we will modify a dish to make it healthier. But before that, we will first monitor our daily diet to find out and gain better knowledge of what exactly are we eating.

Bon Appetit!
