Food Log Reflection
1. What was the biggest thing you noticed during the week recording your intake?
o The biggest thing I noticed during the week recording my intake would be how
little I eat fast food compared to about 6 months ago. I recently became
vegetarian and ever since then I significantly cut fast food out of my diet, but I
never really noticed how much I did.
2. Do you notice any patterns in how you feel?
o I noticed that I feel better when I don’t skip a meal throughout the day. Some
days I would go without eating breakfast and/or lunch which would lead me to
eat more during the times that I do eat.
3. Did you attempt to cut out any foods? Elaborate.
o I did try to cut our chips from my diet. I am highly addicted to chips for some
reason, and I know that they are bad for me so sometimes I try to cut them out
of my diet, and I end up failing. If I go a week without them then I can go months
but then once I get back on them, I can’t seem to stop.
4. What trends are there in your caloric intake? Too much sugar? Enough protein?
o Being vegetarian, I don’t usually get enough protein, so I try to start my day off
usually by eating eggs or something with protein but it’s harder for me to get
that protein in my diet. I don’t really drink sugar drinks or sweets so I think I am
good on sugar levels, but occasionally during a softball game I will have a
Gatorade or a Body Armor.
5. How are your energy levels?
o M energy levels seem to be okay. I’m not really a morning person but I’ve been
getting up easy and going to sleep just fine. Throughout the day I tend to
maintain the same energy and I don’t usually take naps.
6. Do certain meals keep you full longer?
o I notice that meals that involve carbs keep me full longer oppose to those that
don’t. For example, on two of the days that I had spaghetti I remember filling full
after and I don’t think I ate much that day.
7. How do you feel about your relationship with food?
o I feel okay about my relationship with food. I tend to have really strong cravings
for food, and I don’t really like that because they always seem to be junk foods. I
also feel like I need to at smaller portions at a time when it comes to eating. I do
workout and practice every day so maybe that’s why I eat more but I would still
like to eat smaller.
8. What are your food/nutrition goals moving forward?
o One of my nutrition goals is to eat smaller portions and try to avoid seconds as
much as possible.
o Another goal would be to make healthier food choices when it comes to snacks
and dinner
