I eat sandwich meat almost every day for lunch. Also, for dinner we have some type of meat. I usually eat a lot of baked beans and peanut butter as well.
Dairy- 3 cups
I always have a glass of milk in the morning. I typically eat yogurt for either breakfast or lunch. I drink a lot of Nesquik chocolate milk throughout the day.
Oils- 6 teaspoons
I don’t really feel like I eat very much oil at all.
EATING HEALTHY
•
I typically drink one or two bottles of Nesquik chocolate milk a day.
Each bottle has 24g of sugar in it, which is right under the recommended intake of 25g. By drinking one of these I already reach my recommended limit for the day.
EXERCISE
• I typically get 30min during the day while in weight lifting and then typically none after school unless I have practice (60-180min). During track season I get about 120min every day.
