MyPyramid Tracker

So according to MyPyramid food tracker, my typical eating habits aren't that unhealthy.  I could definitely use a whole lot more of dairy and whole grains and less meat and beans.  I could also have definitely done without the empty calories of the margaritas.  The negatives about eating completely healthy are that it requires a lot of good, long-lasting produce, which can get costly.  A positive about my eating habits is that it is somewhat cheap but also not that bad! In order to stay healthy and be healthier I definitely need to eat more fresh, whole foods and less processed ones.

In general, I think I like using MyPyramid better than blogging about my food.  It gives a very good visual as well as written representation of your eating habits and what they should/could be.  I don't think blogging about it would do much more other than make me actually analyze my eating habits and being forced to know them and what they could be. 

Overall, I don't think my diet is that unhealthy.  Obviously I have my bumps and my days where I am even too busy to eat a proper meal.  However, I think that for a broke college senior, I think I am doing quite well.  I definitely should try to drink more milk and buy more fresh fruits and vegetables, but it would not be awful if I kept my eating habits the way they are now!
