Healthy Eating, Nutrition, and Exercise PlanEssay Preview: Healthy Eating, Nutrition, and Exercise PlanReport this essayFinal Project Healthy Eating, Nutrition, and Exercise PlanSCI/241August 11,2013Dr. Louis CohenFinal Project Healthy Eating, Nutrition, and Exercise PlanI have dieted much of my adult life. Once I get started, I find that it is easy to stick with, to lose the weight that I want to. My weight problem comes from keeping the weight off after I reach my goal. In order for me to start a diet plan, I need to be motivated. I feel that adding an exercise plan to an eating plan will help my progress as well as make me a healthier person. I, as very many Americans live a very busy life-style. I work full time, have a large family, and go to school full time. My biggest challenge is making the time to exercise and sticking with it. During my adult years, my weight has fluctuated in between 125lbs and 200lbs. My height is 58 I feel the ideal weight for my height is in the 140lbs to 150lbs range. Currently I am 185lbs so getting down to my desired weight is not impossible, but will need me to be prepared to make the time and get myself on the right track.
Choosing an eating and exercise plan is not easy, you have to choose goals that are achievable, If you set your schedule and plan to strict, you will grow tired or find the regime to hard to maintain. I have chosen an eating and activity plan that will fit easily into my daily schedule with just a few modifications.
Nutrition Plan:My nutrition plan that I plan on implementing will improve my eating habits. I have followed this plan the last three days, and when I compare the results to the results of the assignment earlier in the class, it certainly shows an improvement.
Breakfast: I rarely eat breakfast other than having a large amount of coffee. This does not give me a good start for my day. By 11am, I am starving and need to grab something quick and easy. This quick choice is usually fatty, and has high empty calories.
My plan involves a breakfast that is sound; 1 cup Cheerios with one half a cup of Skim Milk, and a banana.Lunch: As I said I normally skip breakfast which leads me to a bad choice for lunch, or I skip lunch and wind up with a headache and a grouchy attitude. A sensible lunch will compliment my breakfast choice and get me through the rest of the day.
My plan involves a planned lunch, so I do not make a hasty bad decision. 2 cups mixed greens, hard-boiled egg, avocado and 3 ounces grilled salmon or chicken.
Dinner: Dinner is chaotic in my home. Five boys are expensive to feed; we need to buy more rice and pasta to help stretch our food budget. I have made the conscious decision to switch to more wheat pasta and brown rice. We will add more beans to the menu which will add protein, this combined with an appropriate portion of chicken, fish, pork or beef, will provide a healthy amount of protein. I tend to serve more protein then necessary and not enough vegetables and fiber. My plan involves a dinner that is the appropriate portions. 4 ounces of chicken, fish, pork, or beef with a serving of whole wheat pasta or brown rice and a healthy size portion of fresh vegetables. I also plan on putting a dish of beans or fruit on the table. Offering a choice of baked beans or applesauce would be a healthier idea than offering seconds on pasta or meat.

I like that my food choices are tailored to my goals. This is good! I also like that if I don’t have my goal met, the meals I eat will be way better than if I did! I love sharing our food choices and I love going to work this week to make some money!

For two of us that came here, dinner was the perfect place to start. What better way to eat than with fresh, flavorful, meaty veggies and a few other options to meet our ends? The menu comes with plenty of choices. The dinner menu was pretty good too; some of the menu items in our home were good too! We also had a large variety in the seafood options, even in the “spiced” salad that you could prepare for your guests. I was so excited to make this lunch dish! When I placed it, I noticed all the ingredients were in high demand. And even with the “spicy” salad, it was quite moist. The dishes themselves were so flavorful that I wasn’t really fussy about the choices. I really wanted to create something that would be more than just salads because it was simple and clean and I couldn’t wait for the dishes to come out. The menu also featured a “stuffed bag” of fish at the table. The fish was great and the stuffed bags were a bit pricey; however, the family enjoyed them. The family enjoyed eating at home and the family enjoyed eating with a healthy, low calorie diet. The dinner was a great value and I am thrilled I came here again. I will be eating more fruits and vegetables soon.

We had an extremely generous dinner for everyone on our family. A wonderful selection of items at home was on the table, although they were not great for us because of the quantity. The “spicy” salads were really great, including my favorite salad of all time, salmon fillet salad with avocado dressing. Some salads were very good. The salmon fillet salad was also great on their own, but our family loved the spicy salad! My family also loved the fried rice. The dinner went well with each of their meals of choice. The breakfast salads were very tasty and my family came out happy with the choice of chips, tea and sandwiches.

My mom and dad also come here to eat and my grandmother, who goes to college, loves to make homemade eggs from scratch. We make our own salads with our housemade eggs. This lunch was great too! The eggs served with the dish included my Mom’s Favorite Vegan Egg Salad (with the fresh veg) and several other family favorites. We loved how they topped it up with the veggies. They had the eggs in the dressing and I really liked the little bit of sauce in there.
