Reflections

1. What have i learnt about my eating habits?
I have learnt that i have been eating too much sodium but not enough calcium and vegetables. I have also learnt that i should not eat too late into the night close to my sleeping time.

2. Do you consider your diet a healthy one?
I think my diet is rather unhealthy, as i eat too little greens and too much sodium. I also eat at irregular hours and late into the night. 

3. Are the suggested nutritional tools useful? How?
I think some of the suggested nutritional tools are useful. For one, I believe that the RDDA analysis was much more accurate than the analysis done using the healthy food pyramid. Though, the RDDA analysis tool was quite difficult to use. Nevertheless, the tools still provided me with statistics which I can interpret and draw conclusions from, allowing me to see the problems and make changes to my current diet.

4. Why is your suggested one-dish meal healthy?
I have substituted belly pork with chicken breast meat, which has a very much lower amount of fat and calories. I have also introduced water chestnut and black fungus into the wanton, making the wanton have more nutritional value and more vitamins. Leafy green vegetables are also introduced. Before cooking the wanton, I also cut out some of the wanton wrapping excess, cutting down the amount of unnecessary carbohydrate intake. All this have made an unhealthy dish a healthy one.
