I realised that I have very unhealthy eating habits. I take in a lot of sodium and fats and little calcium and fibre. My eating habits are also very varied. One day I will eat especially healthily and the other, full of excess fat and sodium. My diet depends mostly on my mood and this is not good as when I'm feeling tired or frustrated, I will indulge myself in 'sinful' food. I also like to snack whenever I feel like it which can in long term, be very bad. I should cut down on the unhealthy junk food and regulate my diet.

The nutritional tools have proved very useful to me. They helped me in tracking my diet and letting me know how much I should or should not take so as to maintain a balanced diet. For example, the RDDA and FIA made me realise what I was consuming too much of and what I was lacking. So now, I can be more concious of what I am eating. The Healthier Choice symbol has also helped me in selecting food that I buy and has helped me to make healthier choices. The Food Pyramid has also helped me to easily remember the servings of food I should eat more of and what to eat less.

I feel that my dish is healthy mainly because it contains the essential nutrients needed in our daily diet. Fibre in the spinach, calcium and protein in the tofu and silverfish, olive oil as a healthier choice. I also took note of the servings recommended by the Food Pyramid when I chose my ingredients and specifically took those with the Healthy Choice Symbol(if possible).

This whole process of recording and finding out about my diet and cooking a healthier dish that will improve it, was very fun and fruiful. From this, I have learnt more about food, which I used to so casually just down. I will put this knowledge to better use and maintain a healthy and balanced lifestyle!

My name is Valerie Lim from class 203. This blog is for my Eood and Nutrition Performance Task. I really love food, so like my blog name, I emphasise on "Indulgence is not a Sin"! I am not emo like in the picture beside. I am perfectly cheerful and normal and I like dolphins -.-
