Period 8 Blog 2.3 Putting it into Practice: Thanksgiving

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.
