Nutrition Blog

1. I don't have to many health goals because I eat pretty healthy because with track we have a nutritionist but one thing I need to do is eat 125g of protein a day and I am not getting that. I need to have this amount of protein because I work out 5 times a week and we need the protein for our muscles so that is my goal, to eat 125g of protein a day.

2. What I need to do to achieve this goal is have a meal plan for each day and fit the protein in accordingly because it's a lot of protein and it needs to be planned. For protein I sometimes with have a bison burger with gluten free bun, chicken, and a can of tuna. On both of my nutrition logs I had chicken so thete was protein there but I need to try to have that 125g a day. 

3. I don't really have any limitations preventing me from being healthy, my parents always cook really healthy and the nutritionist for track guides us and tells us what we need to eat in each meal. Overall there isn't anything preventing me from eating healthy, I have a lot of people to help me and guide me to eating what I need to eat.

4. From our discussions in class I learned how much sugar and fat there is in some foods and what kinds of fat to stay away from.  I thought that information was very interesting and I will definetly take that away from our class nutrition discussions. I thought also doing the two day nutrition log was very good and is useful for people with certain goals because with my track we all have to keep a journal to record the food that we ate and the workout we had that day. It's a very important tool to achieve health goals. I learned a lot about nutrition and will be definitely taking away useful information.
