Nutrition Journal Assignment

On a typical day, this is what I eat:

Breakfast
          -Egg beaters (egg substitute), scrambled, cooked with             butter
          -Sausage, turkey, reduced fat, brown and serve, cooked
          -water

Lunch:    -Turkey diet frozen meal with dressing, gravy, vegetable, and fruit (Healthy Choice brand)
          -water

Snack:    -water
          -Apple

Dinner:   -Gatorade
          -Pasta, cooked with salt and vegetable oil
          -tomato sauce 



The picture above shows that I only hit one of the main target groups completely, which is "Protein". I am "ok" in the "Fruits" section. I am under in the "Refined Grains", "Vegetables", and "Milk and yogurt". 


Also, I eat way to much sodium. I don't eat to much oils or saturated fats.

How I calculated all of this was making an account to Supertracker. I added my personal information, like my weight and height, and age so it could base my diet around me. It's much more personal than just one chart, made for everyone.
