SLC23-W1 | Let's Learn About Macronutrients.

Greetings teachers and students!

Finally we arrived at season 23 week 1 of our seasonal learning challenge and here is my home work presentation

Based on what you have learned in this class, do you think you have been eating a healthy diet? Explain your answer.

In this week class i have learned about types of food we consume that looks healthy but they are actually harmful to the health and also i learned how i can combine healthy food to achieve a balanced diet.
Reflecting on my diet according to this week class i have come to realize that although i make healthy foods most of the time i still need to make some changes in my diets to achieve a menu with complete healthy meals.

Share 1 image showing a recommended protein versus a non-recommended protein and what cooking method you typically use for each.

Cooking method

Beans

I have numerous ways i cook and enjoy my beans but the common and cost effective way is porridge, the above picture is a Porridge beans with ripe plantain which is my most favorite ways of cooking beans.

Fatty Red meat

I use red meat in cooking soups that has less ingredients like fish and other fatty ingredients, it can also be fried but i used them only with soup such as okra soup, and vegetable soup.

Share 1 image in which we can see a recommended fat versus a non-recommended fat and explain how you normally consume it.

Fish soup

This is a soup made with fish and yam and a healthy vegetable which is hot leaves, since i used fish as my man ingredients no other oil was needed as the fish fat was enough to complete the meal.

Industrial processed oil

I use this oil mainly for frying, baking of cakes and popping corn.

Share in images dishes (at least 3) that you normally prepare at home, identify the macronutrient groups explained in class, evaluate them according to what you understood in this class and explain whether or not you would change the way you have prepared them. (STEP-BY-STEP PREPARATION IS NOT NECESSARY)
