Blog #12 Breakfast, it does a body good?

Hi again cadets. As you learned last week, soda or sweetened drinks are one of the highest forms of calories that you can put into your body on a daily basis. I am sure that most of you were surprised to find out actually how much sugar you were drinking on a daily basis. Well, now it's your turn to educate each other. Watch the following video about breakfast cereals. Once you have finished, you must post your favorite cereal and explain what amount of sugar is actually in each box that you eat. Remember to post your information along with a website to support your facts. And last as usual, make sure that you read and comment on other cadet's work. I am sure you will be surprised about cereals today and how much sugar they contain. Here is your video, hope you enjoy: 

Blog #11 You are what you eat, specially during the holidays.

Good morning cadets.  Since we are learning about eating healthy, your assignment this week is to keep track of everything that you eat for an entire week.  The form that you need to use is in your Cadet Reference Handbook and you will need to print 7 of them, one for each day.  You must fill out each item that you eat and then find out how many calories you have consumed each day. While working on this exercise, you must post the item you have eaten that contained the most calories and also post a website URL that lists caloric content for food items.  The last thing that you must do is to post a comment regarding other cadet's work. If you discover something new, make sure you post that information as well and videos are always helpful.  Good luck and I know everyone will do great with this assignment.  Here is the link to download the Calorie Daily Worksheet: Cadet Calorie Worksheet
