Sodium (mg) 1,561.7 1,279.7 122
Based on the Food Intake Assessment, I should take less foods that have too much sodium in them, as too much sodium may cause hypertension or high blood pressure, which increases the risk of strokes or heart attacks. To do this, I should use less salt and sauces when preparing food at home, or ask for less sauce or gravy when I eat out, so as to reduce the amount of sodium I consume. Also, the Food Intake Assessment shows that I am only eating 30% of the amount of dietary fibre I should be eating. Hence, I should eat more fruits and vegetables which are high in dietary fibre.
Day 3:

Breakfast: Milo
Lunch: Fried Bee Hoon and egg, 100 plus
Dinner: Vegetable rice salad, sotong balls

Based on the Healthy Diet Pyramid, my diet does not have enough meat and alternatives. The bee hoon and rice should be sufficient for 5 to 7 servings, while the vegetables in the Vegetable rice salad should also be about 2 servings. However, throughout the day, I have only drunk one packet of milo, and eaten no meat at all. Hence, I should increase my intake of meat, so as to have a balanced and healthy diet.


1 Healthy Dish - Brown Rice Vegetable Salad

Recipe Analysis:

Ingredient Brown Rice Vegetables Total
Energy (kcal) 453 248 701
Protein (g) 10 18 28
Total Fat (g) 3 2 5
Saturated Fat (g) 0.9 0.4 1.3
Cholesterol (mg) 0 0 0
Carbohydrate(g) 95 49 144
Dietary Fibre (g) 4.5 23.6 28.1
Sodium (mg) 6 266 232

This dish is healthy as it contains a lot of vegetables and uses no meat at all. Vegetables are high in fibre, minerals and vitamins and are also low in fat, making them very healthy. The vegetables are cut into small pieces and boiled so as to enable them to be easily chewed, then mixed into the rice and seasoned with salt and pepper. This allows people who dislike vegetables to eat them naturally and little children who normally dislike vegetables would eat it too as it would not taste particularly like vegetables, instead, it would taste more like fried rice, instead with vegetables. Also, in this dish, the rice is not fried with the vegetables, instead, they are separately cooked then mixed with some olive oil, hence it is healthy as it contains very little oil. Hence, this is a dish that looks good and tastes good, and is also very healthy.
Learning points from the PT

From this PT, I have begun to be more aware of what I eat everyday and how this affects my health. In the past, I did not really care about what I ate, however, after doing this PT, I have realised that a lot of the food I consume is not very healthy and that my diet is not very balanced. Hence, I have become more aware of my eating habits and will try to change them so that I can have a healthier, more balanced diet. Also, I have realised that I eat very little fruits and vegetables, which affects the amount of vitamins, minerals and nutrients and dietary fibre that I get, which will also affect my health. I realise now that I should be more deliberate in choosing the food that I eat so as to make my diet a healthy one.
The suggested nutritional tools in the Health Promotion Board website have been very useful for me in determining the amount of sodium, cholestrol, etc. in my diet, hence showing me if my diet has been healthy or not. The tools have been very helpful in allowing me to understand better how the food I eat affects my health and my intake of vitamins, nutrients, etc. The Food Intake Assessment and Recipe Analysis have been particularly useful and easy to use, hence making it easier for me to find out and determine how healthy my diet was.
This PT has been very enjoyable and interesting and helped me to discover more about my diet and how I should change my eating habits in order to have a healthier lifestyle.
Feedback on 3 blogs:


1st blog: http://soaring-reachingforthestars.blogspot.com
Comments: This blog is very detailed, especially where she writes about the recipe that could possibly be edited so as to make it healthier, where she includes a lot of details, such as the ingredients and how the dish is to be made. Hence, it is ver informative and helpful in letting the reader understand how the dish has become healthier than the original. Also, she includes a lot of information regarding the food that she has eaten the past three days, including some pictures and descriptions of what they are.

If I never knew you
I'd have lived my whole life through
Empty as the sky
Never knowing why
Lost forever
If I never knew you

Haha. its pocahontas. im so boreeeddd. there's nothing to do and i don't feel like sleeping yet. i wish i had a sister. :( then i'd have somebody to talk to when im bored or when its late and im not asleep yet. it's different talking on msn and face-to-face. msn still makes u feel alone. like u dont see the person so its way different.

AH holidays are passing so fast. :( soon it'll be the start of sec 2 and lots and lots of homework. watched 2012 yesterday. made me think abt the need for ppl to know God. like, if the day came and i didnt do anything to tell ppl abt God, i'd be responsible for all those ppl who had to suffer in hell for eternity just because i didnt take the trouble to tell them. like i realised when i worship and stuff, there's this thought that always tells me these words and songs are not for now, but like when im older and stuff, even though i wasn't really aware of it. always next time, next time, but soon there wont be a next time, and if i dont start now i'll regret it. so...i'll try.

my keyboard's so screwed. actually i think its blogger. it doesnt load fast enough, so i keep missing letters. -.-" ok shld go sleep soon

this blog is so dead, i don't know why i still bother to keep posting. eek my keyboard's acting up. the keys dont respond when i type too fast. so irritating. im back from malaysia and leader's advance! haha super tired lar, the whole week running around places and doing things. only stayed one night at home. hehe. but it was fun. the malaysia trip was really fun :DD didn't win anything, but we played hard so im happy. so funnn crashing ppl's room and making up excuses to go see each other at night. i lost my jacket there. T__T but i bought another one haha. my poor jacket :(

I LOVE LEADERS' ADVANCE!! hehe. it was so funnnn. better than the first one. like during this one i could really feel God's presence during worship and everything. God reminded me again of my destiny in Him and like He's always been there with me even when i couldn't feel it. i also kinda realised that i can actually hear from Him and like He's not as far as i imagined Him to be. jake wee was also very funny haha. our future urban kids director! woohoo.

No chance, no way, i won't say i'm in love

haha i love that song. its so cool.

training today. had to keep reminding myself to keep on going and not just give up. i was like "God help meeee....i don't wanna run..." coz Coach Hannah told us to run for 10 minutes. then He was like, "You'll thank me for this next time." so i was like ok fine...keep going, keep going. somehow it seems easier than before, and i don't give up that easily. now i know what mr ang meant by in the end its who has the strongest willpower. God's really helping me and I just have this sense of assurance that He'll take care of me.

i have scandalous photos of isabel and shi hui. whahahaha.

HOLIDAYS!!!!

happyhappy. :D i might miss school a little though, like all those ppl that i talk to in school and stuff. so fun. but only a little bit. cant believe one year's over liao. it seems really fast. like i've just become sec 1. and next year i'll be sec 2! so weird. sometimes i still think i'm 12. O__O

i'm thinking of something really profound to say

couldn't think of anything. oh well. hmm...ohoh. next week's gonna be like complete horror. HORROR. there's like training from tuesday to friday. 4 DAYS. F-O-U-R. T__T i think i might cry. don't know how im gonna get through all those. its like im dreading those four days. i don't mind all the drills and everything, i just hate, HATE those running kind of drills. like we had to run 3 rounds around the court in less than a minute. once is still ok, but coach cindy said she was gonna make us do it repeatedly. so its like, very scary. i hate those kind of things. like nic used to make us run around the track, like 6 times, all under 1:45. yucks.

going back to urban kids tomorrow. wonder what it'll be like. i think it might be kinda weird. i don't really know anyone from the 8.30 service. :( oh well. i'll try i guess.

how many times have I broken Your heart, still you forgive, if only I ask

it's quite amazing and cool how God always forgives me. I'll never forget that.

i think ppl need to learn to let go. let go of the things that have already happened. there's no use regretting or hating those ppl who hurt them before. the people who hurt them before hurt them once only, but they are the ones who are hurting themselves again and again. maybe they think they're being strong, by not forgetting how others have hurt them. maybe in some way, it makes them feel good coz like they get to play the part of the noble person who got mistreated. like a protagonist. i don't know.

i can hear the sound from the mrt station. the beeping sound when the doors close. haha.

I'm holding onto something and I do not know why I try

haha that line just popped into my mind one fine day. i like the song. hm...lotsa things have happened since my last post, which was a long, long
long
long
long
long
time ago. haha sorry i just couldn't resist doing that. so bored. it's monday night! and there's no school tmr. whoots. but then its RUINED lar, as usual. i have to do ACP and then have tuition. -.- exams are looooong over so why is there still tuition?!?!?! no break arh. T_T but i guess i'm lucky to be able to afford tuition and have a nice teacher so i should be happy. fine, i'll be happy.

oh this thoughts just popped up in my mind today. during trng. haha.

Humility is not the act of not looking at yourself, but it is looking at yourself and not being overly proud of how wonderful you are.

Everyone always tries to be "humble" and like they don't talk about their achievements and everything. Nothing wrong with that, just that at times they overdo it until they completely refuse to admit any good point about themselves to others. there's nothing wrong with being proud of yourself, its just that you shouldn't overdo it. You can be as proud of yourself as you are of others. You have to be able to love yourself before you can love others. If you can't see yourself and the good things abt you, then you obv won't be able to see clearly that of others, and it wont be love, but just blind worship and admiration. haha.

ohoh. haha that time i was in the car with ansel and my mom was driving and ansel started to cry. ok, not cry. more like WAIL. and SCREAM. its so scary. babies in a car while their moms are driving are scary. O_O but then yeah lar, then my mom started to play one of the songs frm the hillsong cd, i think its called "still" (its like i will be still, know You are God) or something like that. and u know wad. ansel immediately stopped crying and fell asleep. we have now found our SECRET WEAPON. haha. now its like "oh, ansel's crying?" "oh, ok, play no. 13 from the hillsong cd." hehe.

ohoh. I'M ANG SHI HUI'S ROOMIE! haha. its so strange. and funny. well, at least i know i'll be able to get a lot of sleep. I dont mind ppl snoring. i find it amusing to listen to at night, and it lets me know i'm not alone. so haha. and shi hui will prob be very very nice to me, (unlike some ppl) so it'll prob be really fun. haha. our room will prob be the quietest. :D

ok i feel like sleeping now. will post abt other things next time. i keep feeling like there's this thing i haven't said yet. and it's not that korean drama is really awesome, although it is.

just realised how much has happened between this post and the previous one. crazy. its not very...nice i guess, when ppl don't really see how you feel, and use the things they've found out abt you to tease you, even if they don't really mean any harm. i wouldn't want them to know everything anyway, so i can bear with it. but i don't think its a very funny issue, and i don't think they have to right to just spread everything, although i know they don't mean to cause trouble or anything. but there is a limit.

lol

Untitled

Inspiration strikes
I don't know what to write
But I know I must write
For you

Not for those in the past
Who stayed for a little while
Then left

Not those in the future
Creeping closer by the moment
Whose faces gleam with hope behind the mists of time

But I write, I know I must
Only for you
For you


Quite a dumb poem, but it makes a lot of sense to me now. Describes how i feel. a little detached, yet still alive with passion and feeling. CONFUSED. the title of the poem is "untitled", by the way. haha. O__O 11.01. haha one minute past the time i told my dad i'll sleep.

Love isn't blind. It just doesn't see what it doesn't want to see.









haha retaaaaarded.

ahaha kurt's buff. and toad's looking so nice and innocent. and he eats flies and jumps really high. they're both really cool. :D kurt likes to say "yeah man" but then with like a weird accent so "man" becomes "mahn". haha it's funny.
