  • My average daily calorie intake is 80. I am low on all the areas so far today. Eating something at lunch and eating breakfast.
  • My calorie intake is nowhere close to being 2000. It is always less because sometimes I skip meals because of homework or other activities that I am doing. I have a good source of protein and my areas of fat are pretty low compared to what I should be eating. I can eat more balanced meals and make time to actually have a decent meal.

    Unfortunately, I sometimes tend to eat too much protein. That is one area where I need to pay more attention to what I am taking in. I am low in calcium because I am lactose intolerent, so I don't drink milk. To make this better, I should take calcium pills to keep my calcium level normal.

    Today, my calorie intake was 81 calories without dinner, I usually don't eat breakfast and not a lot for lunch. The areas that I have low is sodium for the most part but other than that I'm fine. I know i need to eat more and need to drink more water and also need to eat less sugars/fats.

    I take in about 1,200 calories. That areas that I'm low in is protein and cholesterol. I could eat more fruits and veggies to help boost my cholesterol and protein.

    I am quite low in my sodium intake. I could try to consume more things with a higher amount of salt in them. On the other hand, I am a little high in fats. I can start to consume more low-fat items.
