Period 3 Blog 2.3 Putting it all Together




We have spent the past month looking at what happens when you eat. Now I want you to put what you have learned into practice. This blog will cover this week and next and will end our focus on nutrition. I want you to design a well balanced, healthy, Thanksgiving meal. Take into account what your family normally has on Thanksgiving and use that to set yourself up for success this Thanksgiving. For your blog, I want you to use what you have learned about macronutrients and the need for balance to describe for me what your, healthy, Thanksgiving meal will look like. Once you have your meal described go ahead and tell me what you are going to have for desert, because I know you are going to have it.


This is make believe, but feel free to put it into practice this year. Instead of lying on the couch in a carb induced coma after dinner, you will be bouncing around the house helping your parents with the dishes. They will wonder what happened to the "real you" and you can explain everything you learned about nutrition to them.

  1. I am probably going to end up not needing to clean dishes because My brother and I are going to be the only ones home on thanksgiving weekend, so I will (Probably and whatever are the just about the same but different words with similar definitions) Probably be eating like chicken or noodles or meat or something like rice or WHATEVER but other than that i have no clue what i am going to do for nutrition during the thanksgiving weekend

  2. During Thanksgiving, my mom always makes a good healthy meal. Consisting of rolls, turkey, some vegetables like corn and there is dessert. Normal, there is no offical dessert since I am usually full from the previous dinner. If there is dessert, we would have ice cream. Since the meal has to be more healthy, I might take less ice cream.

  6. Every thanksgiving I eat Turkey, Mashed Potatoes with gravy, stuffing, peas and sweat potatoes with marshmellows in them after we eat our appetizers of crackers and dip as well as sausage balls. This year I might skip the appetizers as well as the desert of pumpkin pie with ice cream.
