Diet analysis:

Based on my active and basal metabolic rate, the amount of calories I require in a day is 1976 calories. 


Healthy Diet Pyramid


According to the Healthy Diet Pyramid, these are the number of servings from each food group that we should eat every day:
Rice and alternatives: 5-7 servings
Fruit: 2 servings
Vegetables: 2 servings
Meat and alternatives: 2-3 servings



Based on the healthy diet pyramid, I will analyse my diet. 


Day 1: 
Total: 3 servings of rice and alternatives
         2 servings of meat and alternatives
          1 serving of vegetables


Analysis: I am not eating enough servings of rice and alternatives, vegetables and fruits but I am eating too much of oil and fats (MacDonald's fries).


Day 2:
Total: 5 servings of rice and alternatives
          3 servings of meat and alternatives
          1 serving of vegetables


Analysis: I am eating too little vegetables and fruits,


Day 3: 
Total: 4 servings of rice and alternatives
          2 servings of meat
          1 serving of vegetables
