Food Evolution

Over my life, my eating habits have changed drastically! When I lived at home (up until freshman year of college), I was very big into soccer and was usually running from practice to practice with no time to stop and prepare meals. My mom was also running my younger sister around so she had no time to cook either. Most of my meals were fast food/drive thru due to my lack of time for anything else. I got food when I had the time, and it was usually only enough time to drive thru somewhere for food.

Since starting college, my eating habits have become more healthy--or at least lean in a more healthy direction. This change started happening when I was diagnosed with mono and was taking a nutrition class within the same semester of my freshman year in college. With my mono, I was never hungry, just always tired. But I learned in my nutrition class the necessities of the human body and what I needed to do to eat healthy. So I began making an eating plan for myself to follow to maintain my health during the mono.

Since freshman year, I have become less strict on my eat plan/diet but still maintain a healthy outlook on most of my meals. I do what I can to make my meals healthier and only splurge for unhealthy snacks/fast food if I plan on balancing it with a workout.
