What is this blog about?

Hi everyone, welcome to my blog! This blog is part of the food and nutrition module I am participating in in school. In this module, we have been taught not only how to cook but also some of the characteristics of the food we in based on the concepts of food science. We have explored ideas about textures, colour and forms of food. The objective of this particular blog would be to look at the concept of balance. What exacly is balance, balance according to th Oxford dictionary refers to 'a state of equilibrium' but when it comes to nutrition, the idea of equilibrium is incorporated into our diet. Still confued? Not to worry, i'll explain this a little bit more later using the healthy diet pyramid.

Let me now tell you what exaclty I aim to achieve with this blog. Firstly, I will record my 3 day diet in a table. The recording runs three days consecutively and includes all meals consumed including snacks, desserts and treats. In this table, as much information should be included as possible, I will be including vital information such as the time of consumption, the food eaten, the components of the dish and the quantity.


After completing this 3-day food record, I will go on to provide an analysis of my diet with some nutritional tools from the health promotion board. This will help me understand just how balanced ( or unbalanced my diet is) so that I can modify my diet if I feel that it is necessary to shift it to the healthier side. Apart from the analysis, the later parts of my entries will also promote a healthy one dish meal. A one dish meal is a meal consisting of the different section of the Healthy Diet Pyramid, for example, carbohydrates, proteins, vegetables etc.   Of course to end of my blog, I will also dedicate a segment to reflecting on what exactly I have learned from this blogging experience. There will also be a section where I will comment on the blogs of my classmates so do keep an eye out for that and see if you are interested to visit their blogs as well!
