HW 6 - Food Diary

This image above was the first meal that I had today.  It is a roll with butter, although it doesn't look like its that much it surprisingly has 250 calories!  For lunch today I had two slices of pizza which were 230 calories each so that comes out to 460 calories at lunch.  For dinner tonight I just had the best meal of my day which was a chicken and cheese burrito which comes out to 485 calories.  In total I had 1,195 calories which was actually below my calorie goal of 2,740.  When eating i really don't think about how many calories are in my food.  I really just eat to get full which I have said before.  But in this situation i guess that even though I wasn't having that many calories I was still feeling full which is good in some ways.  But now that i look at the amount of calories in these foods I think that I might be more carful and pay more attention to the foods that I eat.

The picture above is what I ate for lunch today, a turkey sandwich from subway.  Unfortunately I forgot to take a picture of the actual sandwich so I have to use this one.  Since we are supposed to focus on the experience we had while eating the food I did.  I have to say that when you really think about your food while eating it you notice a change in how it actually tastes and how you think its tasting.  While eating I noticed that the turkey tasted a lot more rubbery and fake then i remember.  But the cheese pretty much covered most of the sandwich so I forgot about that taste a few bites in.  In all I did not really enjoy thinking about my food while I was eating it, it just doesn't make the experience as good as I would like it to be.

Tonight for dinner I just ate bagel bites.  I am not really sure if its the healthiest thing in the world but it does taste good.  I do not really feel good about the food that I ate now that I think about it.  When I looked at all the calories and how it tasted it actually made me question if the foods I were eating were actually a good decision or not.  Who knows maybe I should think about changing my eating habits.
