Analysing Day 3

As I had quite a large range of different foods because I went to the mall, and then to the hawker centre, I decided to use the Energy and Nutrient composition of Foods to analyse my diet.

As can be seen, my total Kcal is 3605, again much higher than my recommended amount of 1905 Kcal. Though it is not as high as Kcal I still think that I should try my best to adhere to my RDDA. My sodium is definitely too high too, I hope to cut down on that. I noticed that prawn mee gave me more carbo, I think that I should try to take in more carbohydrates.
