Nutrition

Nutrition is an important topic to cover with elementary students. I really liked the activity we did in class today(9/18) linking nutrition and the importance of eating healthy, remembering not too consume too many carbs or fat in one's daily diet. We had to fill out a worksheet about calcuating carbs and fat in different foods we eat on a regular basis. My friend Natalie and I took this a step further. We logged onto the Burger King, McDonalds, and Taco Johns nutritional websites and looked at the facts. We were blown away with the amount of calories and grams of fat there is in fast food. We all enjoy eating out from time to time, but after looking at these three websites it has changed my views about whoppers and burritos! Generally speaking I eat over 1000 calories per meal at these locations! That is just crazy!
