Hello everyone, good evening to you all and welcome back to my blog.
| Task 1: According to what you learned in this class, do you think you have been eating healthy? Explain your answer |
|---|
Honestly, after going through this Class, I observed that I haven't been eating healthy. I eat Junk and Processed food alot, even though I eat healthy food sometimes but most of my daily meals intakes are usually Unhealthy Food. This Course is an eye opener, and after going through it, I already promised myself that I'm going to stop eating processed food and add lots of natural food to my daily meal plan inorder to stay healthy.
This Lecture really opened my eyes to understand Macronutrients and how to eat healthy.
| Task 2: Share 1 image in which we can appreciate a recommended protein versus a non-recommended protein and what is the cooking method you normally use for each one |
|---|
| Recommended Protein | Non recommended Protein |
|---|
| Beans | Egg Fried in Industrial processed oil |
 |  |
For my recommended Protein, I choose Beans and for Non-Recommended Protein is Eggs fried in Industrial oil. The cooking method I use for my Beans is cooking it Porridge, Cooking it Jollof with rice, using it to make Beans Pudding and Akara. For the egg, the cooking method I use most times is frying it in Industrial processed oil. I also use it to make egg Sauce fried in Industrial oil.
| Task 3: Share 1 image in which we can appreciate a recommended fat versus a non-recommended fat and explain how you normally consume it |
|---|
| Recommended Fat | Non Recommended Fat |
|---|
| Butter | Industrial processed oil |
 |  |
For the Recommended Fat, I choose Butter. I usually consume it with Bread and Biscuits. I also consume it in fried Eggs, Fried Rice, Pasta and Jollof rice. For my non- recommended Fat which is Industrial processed oil. I usually consume them in meals like Stew, Jollof rice, Pasta, Fried Rice. I also consume them in fried Meat, Fish, Plaintain, Potatoes, Chin-chin, Buns etc. After going thorough this Course, I already made up my mind to use Coconut oil or Olive Oil in cooking.
