Question

Response to a classmate. Response posts should be a minimum of 250 words.

Before I entered "Adulthood", my daily diet was actually really good. If you do not already know I just recently graduated high school. During High school my mom used to cook a lot, she would even pack me lunch daily. Considering my mom is vegan and extremely into her health you could imagine what she was feeding me on the daily. Pretty much all my meals during that time were extremely nutrient dense, usually consisting of chicken and rice. But now that I am older and more independent with less time on my hands it has become a lot harder to maintain that same nutrient dense diet.

I would say now probably 20 to 30 percent of my diet is nutrient dense. Because most of my time is spent at work and I will usually go with something easy and convenient for my breakfast and lunch which is often not the healthiest. The only time of the day that I will have meals high in nutrients is when I come home to my mother’s cooking. I have recently been making more of an effort to pack lunch to take to work. That way, my daily meals will consist of actual food rather than just getting by with snacks here and there. Also another aspect I need improve on is eating vegetables. I have always lacked getting those in, that is why I can try to implement them in little portions. For example one of the main ways I get my leafy greens is by throwing them in my smoothies. They are completely flavorless and really unnoticeable when they mixed with protein powder and fruits. Another simple way that I can improve my diet is by cutting out all of the refined sugars as this is probably some of the worst things anyone consumes.
