Hi everyone,
I'm hoping you can help me with some research. I am studying the diet habits of various people to see if there are any correlations. I am studying my coworkers and friends but I would like information about you if you are willing to supply it. I'm working off of the honor system here. If you can please reply to this post with the following information.
1) age: 20's, 30's, 40's, etc...I don't need actual ages
2) approximate weight
3) physical location. state is fine
4) activity level. Sedentary, beginning exerciser, moderate, advanced exerciser, sporadic, etc...
5) How often do you exercise?
6) Do you eat breakfast?
6) what is your largest meal of the day?
7) how many times a day do you eat?
8) how much water do you drink?
9) how do you deal with food temptations?
10) what is your typical restaurant meal?
Thank you,
Shannon
