On Wednesday I ate one meal I had fried chicken, collard greens and mashed potatoes that my father cooked for diner. For lunch I had a slice of pizza. I also had some junk food like chips, and fruit roll up, and cake.
On Thursday I didn’t have breakfast again because I never have time or in the mood to eat it during the week but I ate a cheeseburger and French fries for lunch and for dinner a slice of pizza and yogurt after. A typical teenage girl is suppose to receive 1760 calories a day and I get about 1000 or just a little bit over.
-pizza calories (800)
-fried chicken calories (750)
-collard greens calories (35)
-cake calories (194)
What I enjoyed most on Wednesday was my dinner. My father’s fried chicken is one of my favorite meals because it’s crispy and has al lot of flavor and fills me up I rarely need sides to go with it. But like my mother and father I noticed that I’ve never questioned the food that I eat when I’m given it and over time I just grown to like whatever the food is. I think that’s something that I have picked up from my parents and never really had a say in what I eat. That’s why when my parents order out food and ask me what I want I never know because I’m so used to people giving me food and eating it with having a say. I wonder if it is genetics that affects what people eat and not just something that’s learned while growing up?
When people are skinny everyone tends to assume that they are healthy. But not necessarily for me I eat a lot of junk food and I don’t think I get all the nutrients that I need each day, the reason why I am skinny because I have a fast metabolism not because I eat right. Eating right to me I think is when you eat a lot of vegetables and fruits and eat your three servings a day the right proportion no fast food and at the right time. I think the time does have an effect because I’ve been told that you should never eat after 9 because then you gain more weight eating like that. It makes sense because after that time you usually go to bed and don’t do anything to work the food off so it just sits there in your body.
When I eat I unhealthy I know it’s bad for me but I still eat it because it’s good. So then I’ll eat fruit or yogurt sometime during the day to so that I know that I might be getting all the nutrients I need. But when someone cooks a meal for me I feel good about it because it’s not processed and had chemicals added to it and its good for me compared to fast food. So over the 48 hours is typical for me sometimes I’ll get something that’s cooked and healthy for me while maybe the next day for dinner and lunch I might just eat fast food.
I eat a lot of junk food which isn’t healthy. Whenever my mom asks me what I want from the supermarket actual food never comes to mind, I could never really think of anything I would want her to make. Sometimes I think that I could just live off of junk food because a big bag of chips can fill me up as if it was one meal. This isn’t healthy because junk food is nothing but sugar, salt and grease and that’s not healthy and can lead to obesity that’s why most kids today are obese because all they eat is junk food and a lot of fast food.
