    The student recorded their food intake for a week and noticed several trends. They realized they eat much less fast food now that they are vegetarian. They feel better when they eat regular meals and don't skip breakfast or lunch. While they tried to cut out chips, which they are addicted to, they had trouble stopping once they started eating them again. As a vegetarian, they have trouble getting enough protein but try to start their day with eggs or protein. Meals with carbs keep them full longer than those without. Moving forward, their goals are to eat smaller portions and avoid seconds, as well as make healthier snack and dinner choices.

    The author felt better when they ate meals throughout the day instead of skipping some. They also noticed that meals with carbs kept them feeling full longer than meals without.

    The author had difficulty cutting chips out of their diet as they are highly addicted to them. If they go a week without chips, they can go months without them, but once they start eating them again they have trouble stopping.

    Food Log Reflection
    1. What was the biggest thing you noticed during the week recording your intake?
    o The biggest thing I noticed during the week recording my intake would be how
    little I eat fast food compared to about 6 months ago. I recently became
    vegetarian and ever since then I significantly cut fast food out of my diet, but I
    never really noticed how much I did.
    2. Do you notice any patterns in how you feel? 
    o I noticed that I feel better when I don’t skip a meal throughout the day. Some
    days I would go without eating breakfast and/or lunch which would lead me to
    eat more during the times that I do eat.
    3. Did you attempt to cut out any foods? Elaborate.
    o I did try to cut our chips from my diet. I am highly addicted to chips for some
    reason, and I know that they are bad for me so sometimes I try to cut them out
    of my diet, and I end up failing. If I go a week without them then I can go months
    but then once I get back on them, I can’t seem to stop.
    4. What trends are there in your caloric intake? Too much sugar? Enough protein?
    o Being vegetarian, I don’t usually get enough protein, so I try to start my day off
    usually by eating eggs or something with protein but it’s harder for me to get
    that protein in my diet. I don’t really drink sugar drinks or sweets so I think I am
    good on sugar levels, but occasionally during a softball game I will have a
    Gatorade or a Body Armor.
    5. How are your energy levels?
    o M energy levels seem to be okay. I’m not really a morning person but I’ve been
    getting up easy and going to sleep just fine. Throughout the day I tend to
    maintain the same energy and I don’t usually take naps.
    6. Do certain meals keep you full longer?
    o I notice that meals that involve carbs keep me full longer oppose to those that
    don’t. For example, on two of the days that I had spaghetti I remember filling full
    after and I don’t think I ate much that day.
    7. How do you feel about your relationship with food?
    o I feel okay about my relationship with food. I tend to have really strong cravings
    for food, and I don’t really like that because they always seem to be junk foods. I
    also feel like I need to at smaller portions at a time when it comes to eating. I do
    workout and practice every day so maybe that’s why I eat more but I would still
    like to eat smaller.
    8. What are your food/nutrition goals moving forward?
    o One of my nutrition goals is to eat smaller portions and try to avoid seconds as
    much as possible.
    o Another goal would be to make healthier food choices when it comes to snacks
    and dinner
