Nutrition Reflection
The signature assignment was based on analyzing what we eat in three days, two weekdays, and one weekend day. We used my fitness pal app to generate the nutritional analysis and see whether what I am eating is right on track for a well-balanced diet. In particular, the signature assignment connects with two of the course learning objectives (CLOs). First, it demonstrated the skill of nutritional analysis. Recording the types of food we ate in three days was enough to inform one if it was a well-balanced diet or not. At this juncture, a person can make proper modifications to ensure that he or she is eating a balanced diet.

Consequently, achieving the above two CLOs was crucial and taught me the importance of eating nutritious food to promote my health as a dental hygienist and that of my patients.
I encountered several challenges while working out this assignment. First, it was challenging at first to use my fitness pal app. I had to learn how to use it effectively within a short period. Second, breaking down each food to separate components was a problem—for instance, the listing of the items in the sweetfin bowl. Third, after the analysis, determining the food to eat to ensure a well-balanced diet was another problem. However, my fitness pal app was helpful and gave suggestions on the source of nutrients that one is supposed to eat. Despite the above challenges, I succeeded in completing the assignment. I learned different types of meals and their nutritional value. Moreover, I learned how I could keep myself...
