Step 3: Reflection

After completing your 3-day meal plan, take a moment to reflect on your choices and
consider potential improvements. Write a short paragraph based on the reflection
questions below:

1. Can any ingredients in your meal plan be substituted for healthier options? (e.g.,
whole wheat or brown rice pasta instead of regular pasta)
2. Does your meal plan include a balanced proportion of proteins, fats, and
carbohydrates?
3. Have you included a diverse range of fruits and vegetables?
4. Are there meals that could be prepared in a more health-conscious way? (e.g.,
baking instead of frying)

Reflecting on my 3-day meal plan, I'm pleased with the overall balance of proteins, fats,
and carbohydrates. However, I realize that some ingredients could be substituted for
healthier options. For instance, I could opt for whole wheat or brown rice pasta instead of
regular pasta to increase the fiber content. Additionally, while I included a variety of fruits
and vegetables in my meals, I could have incorporated even more diversity by adding
leafy greens like kale or incorporating different types of berries. In terms of preparation
methods, most meals could be prepared in a more health-conscious way by opting for
baking or grilling instead of frying. Overall, while my meal plan is generally nutritious,
there are opportunities for improvement to make it even healthier and more diverse.
