University of Nairobi Development and Strategic Planning Healthcare Discussion

I’m working on a public health question and need support to help me learn.

WELLNESS CLASS FOOD LOG: 25 points

Your 25 point assignment: Keep A Food Log for THREE DAYS.

The food log can be kept on paper, using an app or a specific program on the Internet.

You do NOT need any special equipment—as long as you record what you ate, you will succeed.

An example of how to complete this task on paper is included below.

I’ve uploaded two examples of on-line, free food logs (from WebMD and American Heart Association) on Canvas in FILES. Leave the calories area blank.

We are NOT counting calories, figuring out nutrients, etc. Just keep track of what you ate/drank.

Record EVERY SINGLE THING you eat for those three days. Everything! Include what you drink—water, coffee, alcohol….

There will be no judgement, so be honest and thorough!

Grammar, spelling and neatness do not count toward your grade. As long as I can tell what you recorded, that’s what matters.

Email your food log OR post on Canvas to me by the posted due date.

If you keep your food log in an app or web page, you’ll have to take screen shots or if it will let you export it, send it to me that way. Canvas will accept uploads or directly enter text into Canvas.

Do not count calories!
