Based on the charts and diagrams below, the nutrients intake for that day is more than day 1. Though the number of calories eaten and calories burned aren't pretty far. It might be because the are more the activities on day 2  than day 1, which burned more calories and almost reach the calories eaten.


Food pyramid
The food pyramid below tells what is the recommendation for the food I should take daily. It is based on my age, height, and weight.

Food Table
The %-RDA/Al graph above shows the calories from every single food eaten on the second day. This information is more specific. The calories, quantity, size, and the information about the fat, carbohydrate, protein in grams. The total calories taken on day 2 is 2,304 calories. This number is close to the recommended calories that people should take daily, which is 2,000 calories. Compare to the calories taken on day 1, it is so far to reach 2,000 calories because the calories taken was two times the recommendation, which is 4,016 calories.

Pie Chart
The pie chart above give the percentage of fats, carbs, protein, and alcohol. The carbohydrate intake almost equal to protein and fat. The 283.4 grams carbohydrate is in the recommendation number that is around 250-300 grams a day. The fat and the protein also balanced, because people need 85-100 grams of fat and 100-125 grams a day. But it is also depends on the weight and height of the person.

Diagram nutrients

The diagram above shows the nutrients intake. The line that is located on the 100.0 is the recommendation number of the intake. The lowest nutrient is fiber, it is 35 percent. Although it is the lowest number, it doesn't mean that it is saver than other nutrients that passed up the number 100. If the percent number is too big, it means so much is taken on that nutrient. For example, the iron, it is 435 percent it is not low but over consumed. The biggest percent number is vitamin B-12, it is 3,202

Table Activity






On that day, there were not many activities I did because I had to go with my relatives because they wanted shopping but I usually sleep 8 to 10 hours during weekend. However, sleeping too much increase greater risks of diabetes, oversleep can also cause obesity. Experts typically recommend that adults should sleep between seven and nine hours each night. Meanwhile,  I always sleep less then 7 hours during weekdays which may cause heart disease, heart attack, heart failure, irregular heartbeat, high blood pressure, stroke, diabetes. It also decreases the activity of the brain.
