Counting Calories

With obesity on the rise within the United States, more and more people are learning to count the amount of calories that they consume. Students undertook a project where for one week they needed to count the amount of calories that they consumed. This included breakfast, lunch, dinner and any other snakes that they ate during the day. Students then compared their total daily calorie intake to that of the average. If the amount of calories fell below or above the average, students needed to examine that day and find out what events lead to this difference. This project gave students a better understand as to what they put in their bodies and for some it should them that they need to change their eating habits and eat healthier food.
