Eating Right Essay

Kelsey Schmidt English Noon Forum Report The second noon meeting place I attended was called My Plate and was about making healthy choices in meals or solid food we choose in college. A dietician, Rachel Pinos, from Hyvee was there to gain us the presentation. She talked about how extremely important it is to eat healthy in college. She discussed how kids ar away from home for the first time and forefathert have moms home cooked meals, so they wont choose the right servings of each food, simply because they dont pick out how.Others will get stressed easily in college oer studies or relationship issues and will eat unhealthy foods to make themselves feel better. Rachel showed us a normal plate with an example of the servings of each type of food we should have. She said we needed a type of grain, fruit, vegetable, and source of protein. She discussed balancing calories in foods, what foods to increase, and what foods to decrease. She sent us back with her business card, a sheet o ver the 10 tips for healthy meals, and a packet with all of the slides she covered in her presentation.I also liked this noon gathering, because eating right is some other factor that college students seem to ignore. There are many an(prenominal) circumstances in which college students make the wrong choice in eating unhealthy foods. Whether they are too busy or running behind and dont take the time to eat, overload on sugars and desserts to overcome stresses, or dont get the right amount of fruits and vegetable, there are many times when kids our age dont eat healthy meals.I think this is a subject that I could personally work on myself. I need to force myself to have a type of vegetable, fruit, grain, and protein at every meal without overloading on one or another. This noon forum was very informative and will be extremely helpful to me art object in college and in the future when planning meals for myself or a viable family.
