A outlook on my consumption: 

(Sorry for the small text) 

 As you can see from the top graph, I am over the weight of that is considered a healthy BMI. However, on a brighter side, I have consumed more protein then fat and sugar! I should be consuming more water, but my fiber intake is pretty good. As for my carbohydrates as we know there are good and bad ones, the ones I consumed were mostly fiber choice (whole grains, veggies and fruits). 

From the second graph, it was interesting to see the different fats that I consumed when it came to my health personally. I am also doing better with consuming water, but I must do better and make it apart of my lifestyle. What was even more interesting aside from seeing what I was consuming was the nutrition calculator on the connect website. The fact that I was not only able to note down when I was consuming, but I was able to be as concise as I wanted to be! The spectrum started with portion size and what I was consuming to even calculating my daily exercise activity. This tool was great in order to open my eyes to how I was "pouring on the pounds". Now that I am aware of my actions on my consumption, I can take healthy steps to make nutrition apart of my lifestyle. I will not only use the material that I'm learning in my nutrition class, but make the "my plate" visual a reflection of what my plate should look like and will look like. Once I do this, the outcome of the graphs will be different and on a more positive note.
