Nutritional Facts

I found yesterdays class period to be very, very interesting! I was so shocked to see how the calories added up and how important it was to make sure that the right amount of fats, carbs, and proteins we incorporated into my diet. It was also very hard to calculate the total amount of calories because they all seemed to add up so quickly! I was shocked to learn how some foods that I thought were low cal foods turned out to be high in calories. This activity definitely made me more aware of my eating habits. I would also like to incorporate this activity into my future classroom and also think it would be a good time to get the parents involved so they too can realize the importance good nutrition not only for their children, but also for themselves!
