MarissaM_What I Consumed

For breakfast I had a bowl of Cheerios cereal with milk. For lunch I had a peanut butter and jelly sandwich, an orange and a chocolate chip cookie for dessert. I also had water to drink. I usually drink a lot of water during the day. I have water when I am in class and also during all of my meals. I had an iced coffee during the afternoon while I was studying and doing some reading for class. Next I went out to dinner with one of my friends at a barbeque place. I ordered a barbeque pulled pork sandwich with fried okra and onion rings. I had a diet coke with my meal. This was an interesting project because I do not always think of the different things I eat during the day but it makes you very aware of day in respect to calories you consumed and the quantity and quality of the food that you consume in one day. I think that this could be used in an elementary classroom for an activity for students because it could make them aware of the food they are consuming in one day. It could be used to accompany a lesson on healthy eating or on the food pyramid. I think that it was beneficial for both myself and my future classroom.
