Introduction
Nutrition, an important element that helps living things to be alive, which contain in the foods we eat everyday. These unit we learn about nutrition and learn how to eat healthier, and which lead to our nutrition tracker project. This project include several ESLOs, "reflect on our learning and how our mistakes help us to improve" and "Apply what we know to analyze, evaluate, and solve problem". In the project we use what we had learnt to plan a food plan for our friends, and tell them where can they improve. We also improve from the first nutrition calculator compare to the later one, which I think is a very useful project for our life.

Reflection
During the time I start this project, I found out that I am not as healthy as I thought, there are too many places that I can improve my diet. First, from the old nutrition calculator we can know that the refined sugar that I have ate are much higher that what a normal person need, which I may have a dangerous to get diabetes. This week I stop to eat the sweet snacks and change to eat fruits or nuts when my mouth starts want to chew something. You can see now the number of refined sugar decrease from 140%to 69%, which I feel good, and lower a bit of my weight because of the changing on diet.
Second, another place that I have improved is the simple carbohydrate, we all know that the refined grain take away the good part of the grain, such as bran and germ. But why people still like to eat those refined grain that without any nutrition? Because it taste good. I eat refined grain for 17 years already, my mom do try to cook some meal with whole grain, but the taste is much worst than the grain contain only the simple carbohydrate. At first, my number of simple carbohydrate is 79, but after I eat a week of whole grain, now I get the number of 36, which almost decrease 50%.
Lastly, this is the place that I can improve next time, and I am quite surprise about it. At first I thought I can decrease the percentage of the protein, but I do not. Maybe because I increase the time I ate fish, so the number of protein also higher than usual. After the week I change my meals, I know that what should I eat what should not eat that much, and next time I will decrease the amount of meat I ate, then make myself more and more healthy.
