I do not think my diet is a very healthy one.For example, as I do not like to eat fruits, I tend to just not eat them, and try to eat more vegetables to make up for this. However, we should strike a balance between vegetables and fruits as both are equally important. Also, I take in too much salt. For example, I eat Mee Goreng about once a week, and it is very high in sodium (1,851mg). Even for chicken rice, the rice itself is already about 800mg in sodium. This warns me that I should be more cautious when eating food, and I should choose to eat food that have low salt content. Finally, omelette and green onions-a dish I LOVE eating is alarmingly high in cholesterol, which may lead to diseases in the future. This tells me that I should cut down my intake of it. Although I am in a sports CCA and therefore have to do a lot of strenuous exercise, I find that this is not an excuse to take in that much salt and cholesterol.

3. Are the suggested nutritional tools useful? Why?

Yes, they were really useful in helping me find out about my diet and eating habits. Without these tools, it would be very difficult and inconvenient for us to calculate the amount of carbohydrates, calcium, proteins etc. that we take into our body. However, we are able to do so just in a few minutes with these tools, and can see for ourselves which kind of food is healthier. The tools also gave us constructive information like the number of servings, which, for me, could be understood very easily.

4. Why is your suggested one-meal dish healthy?

As mentioned in the post below, instead of fried chicken chop, the chicken is replaced by boiled fish-much more healthier and richer in nutrients. Spring onions were added so that it consisted of more fibre too. The egg was also fried with less oil as at home, we are able to control the amount of cooking oil used. Thus there is less oil and more vegetables, making it a healthy one-dish meal.
