Analysis- Day 2

I have decided to use the healthy food pyramid and the energy & nutrients compostion of the day's diet. The health food pyramid would be analysed really closely with the diagram, as the food taken in into the body would be classified under the given cataegories in the food pyramid. The result after analysis may be inaccurate as all this information come about by estimation.

Healthy Diet Pyramid:

1. Milo:

Is considered an energy drink and also it comprises of water. Our bodies require 8 cups of water each day. It contributes to hydrate our body and it helps to wash out the unwanted waste materials in our body. It is generally a healthy drink to give energy in the morning.

2. Hot dog bun:

Buns are classified under the carbohydrate section in the healthy diet pyramid. 6-11 serving of carbohydrate food are considered healthy therefore eating buns in the morning are very suitable

3.Milo shake:

It lies in the section of milk, yogurt & cheese group which are eaten in moderation about 2-3 servings. Milo shake contains syrup, milk and Milo powder. It is relatively high in calcium as milk contains high amount of calcium to keep our bones strong and healthy. Thus, drinking Milo shake in moderation may be relatively healthy.

4. Chicken Pie:

The fillings of chicken pie include a lot of fat thus it may be unhealthy for regular consumption.

5.Clay pot Rice:

Rice gives us a form of energy that is required for our body to work. 6-11 servings are advisable for carbohydrates. Clay pot rice may also include other vegetables and meat that would give dietary fibre and protein. Dietary fibre aids in bowel movement.

6.Apple/ Grape:

Fruits are healthy and 2-4 servings of it may be helpful to our body every day.

Personal Analysis:

The general food diet is well-suited for the body as there is an even spread of food from different catgories and each category did not exceed the maximum amount of serving. Thus the diet is generally healthy as there is an equal amount of everything ( carbohydrate, protein, calcium, fats, dietary fibre). The body is not deprived of any particular category of food.

Energy & Nutrient Compositions of Food:

1. Claypot rice
(Click on food name to view picture)
Alternate Name : N/A
Description : Rice with salted fish, chicken with skin, and Chinese sausages, cooked in claypot
Edible Portion : 100%
Per Serving : 597 g


The analysis (per serving) follows:

Energy (kcal) 899
Protein (g) 48
Total fat (g) 37
Saturated fat (g)15.5
Dietary fibre (g) 6.0
Carbohydrate (g) 93
Cholesterol (mg) 167
Sodium (mg) 2,185
Calcium (mg) 119
Iron (mg) 2.99

Personal Analysis:

Claypot rice contain much more energy in comparison to the Ban Mian noodles from the day before. Thus this shows that the carbohydrate level is much higher too. The amount of ingredients in claypot rice also increase thus the amount of fats in this dish would definitely be higher at 37g. The dietary fibre is also much lesser if compared to the amount of fats. It is said to be imbalance. A healthier version of this dish would be claypot rice with more vegetables in it.
