My diet V.S. 3 others? Good results?

I went to go compare my diet to 3 of my friends' to see if there are any good and healthy dishes which might be considered tasty at the same time, considering it would be in their diet.

First, I reviewed Sophia Lo's blog.


Secondly, I reviewed Ang Chyi Yen's blog.

And finally, reviewing Sasha Nair's blog.

Reflection

From this blog, I have learnt that there is not much healthy food in my diet, making my eating habits quite unhealthy. This is probably because I do not make much effort to eat vegetables, or at least cut down on all the fast food, snacks and soft drinks. However, as I was analysing my diet using a few nutritional tools, I managed to learn what my diet contains and which is a healthy meal and which is not, thus it has been very helpful to me in this blog.
Though, at least I have one healthy dish in my diet, which would be the salad I eat from time to time. I consider this healthy as it contains a few different vegetables and some meat to balance out the meal.

Cooking Time!

I decided to change this unhealthy Fried Rice with Fried Chicken Chunks and Sausages...


...to this healthier choice of Fried Rice with Pan-Fried Salmon, putting some veggie choices of Peppers and Carrots.

I decided to change this as it was an easy way to change one of my foods to something healthier. The original fried rice that I ate had...

1. Frozen Chicken Chunks, which meant that they were already pre-cooked = UNHEALTHY!

2. Frozen Sausages = UNHEALTHY!


3. White Rice = NOT AS HEALTHY AS BROWN RICE! (brown rice was used as part of a change)
The new and improved fried rice had...

1. Carrots

2. Peppers

3. Brown Rice

4. Salmon

That was my whole dish! It turned out pretty well, I guess...

Analysing My Diet

1. Milo

Milo, ready-to-drink (HCS)
Energy (kcal)150 kcal
Protein (g)4.25 g
Total fat (g)3.75 g
Saturated fat (g)1.75 g
Dietary fibre (g)1.25 g
Carbohydrate (g)23.75 g
Cholesterol (mg)1.88 mg
Sodium (mg)75 mg
I tend to drink Milo a lot, but never knew it had more fats than I imagined as I was always given the unwavering impression that it was quite healthy. However, now that I know that it is still a drink I should not have so many times a day, I will take caution of the number of packets I drink daily.


2. Coke

Soft drink, cola
Energy (kcal)132.63 kcal
Protein (g)NA
Total fat (g)NA
Saturated fat (g)NA
Dietary fibre (g)NA
Carbohydrate (g)34.65 g
Cholesterol (mg)NA
Sodium (mg)36.3 mg
I drink quite a lot of coke too, but never bothered to listen to people when they say that I should not be drinking this much, as I always had the mindset that drinking just one cup would not do much harm to me. However, now I know how bad it can make your teeth after hearing about experiments on teeth being soaked in coke for a day and coming out totally rotten.

3. Ramen

Ramen
Energy (kcal)355 kcal
Protein (g)10.25 g
Total fat (g)4.25 g
Saturated fat (g)2 g
Dietary fibre (g)3.25 g
Carbohydrate (g)69 g
Cholesterol (mg)NA
Sodium (mg)372.5 mg
I love ramen, and if I could I would eat it every single time I see a ramen restaurant, however I honestly there is more fat in it then I expected.I will make effort to limit myself with my intake of ramen noodles, now that I am more informed on it.

4. Subway Sandwich

6-inch Ham Sandwich, Subway
Energy (kcal)263.52 kcal
Protein (g)17.28 g
Total fat (g)4.6 g
Saturated fat (g)1.6 g
Dietary fibre (g)4 g
Carbohydrate (g)37 g
Cholesterol (mg)25.92 mg
Sodium (mg)1069.2 mg
I eat subway all the time, as it is healthier than places, such as MacDonald. Though, I did not know it contained that much fats or protein, I will try to eat it less often as although it has much protein, there is also a bit of fats.
