Please keep track by both journal and photograph of 4 days worth of meals. We want to see 4 days of meals, take a photograph of each meal, and create a poster/booklet of your meals.
Then in Paragraph form compare your diet to My plate. Did you eat enough in each area? Too much in one. 1 page typed
This will help you better understand your eating habits, the foods you enjoy on a daily basis, as well as the portion sizes you consume.
Have fun with this project, be honest, and don’t forget the photos!
