The following is days 2 & 3 of my food journal, which is part of our research for the Collaborative Research Project:
April 7th
Lunch
Egg rolls
Noodles with shrimp
Peas
Mint chocolate chip ice cream
Dinner
Chicken marsala
Peas and rice
- I ate both lunch and dinner at the cafeteria today. As usual, I just chose what looked most appetizing. I made sure to get a lot of peas, because I know that I don't get as many vegetables as I should on campus.
Snack
Twix bar
- I was in the library doing work for a few hours, so I turned to the vending machine for a late night snack. I did not consider the nutritional value of this.
April 8th
Breakfast
Dunkin Donuts sesame seed bagel
- I went to the art museum with a friend this morning, so we stopped at Dunkin Donuts for breakfast.
Dinner
Mac and cheese
Green beans
Egg rolls
Pizza
- I took advantage of the buffet in the cafeteria for dinner today. I didn't really think about anything I ate, other than the green beans. I always try to incorporate some sort of vegetable into my meal.
Dessert
Cake
- The cafeteria unfortunately serves dessert every single day. Some days I can't resist, despite how bad I know it is for me.
Snack
Pistacchios
- I try to keep healthy snacks like these in my apartment. I try to buy things that are low in fat and calories.
