Day 2 Analysis

For the analysis of foodstuffs consumed on day 2, i decided to use the Healthy Diet Pyramid.



Healthy Diet Pyramid (image)
The article from which I obtained this image recommends a certain amount of the different food groups be consumed daily, namely
  • Rice & Alternatives: 5 - 7
  • Fruits: 2
  • Vegetables: 2
  • Meat & Alternatives: 3
The respective amount of food from each group I consumed on day two was as follows:
  • Croissant: 1 serving of Rice & Alternatives
  • Yakult: 1 serving of Meat & Alternatives[milk is under this category so i suppose cultured milk is too]
  • Orange: 1 serving of Fruits
  • Strawberries: 1/2 serving of Fruits
  • Bowl of rice: 2 servings of Rice & Alternatives
  • Seaweed chicken: 1/2 serving of Meat & Alternatives[the chicken is so small ._.]
In total, I ate
  • Rice & Alternatives: 3 servings
  • Fruits: 1 1/2 servings
  • Vegetables: 0 servings
  • Meat & Alternatives: 1 1/2 servings
Overall, it is blatantly obvious that I need to start eating vegetables if i want to avoid imminent kidney failure. In general, I need to eat more food as none of the quantities of food eaten are within the recommended range. I need to increase my dietary fibre intake for sure, and in order to meet the recommendation for the other categories I feel that I should start taking my meals[if these can even be regarded as meals] on time rather than as and when I feel like them.
