QUESTIONS: 1. Reading only this table showing Rajesh's weekly diet, do you think he has abalanced diet? Why do you think so? 2. Now let's use our knowledge of afood pyramid to see how healthy Rajesh's diet for the week was. Use the tallying method to keep score of everything he ate: to tally up results you make one line down for every item you count and when you get to the fifth item you draw a diagonal line through the other four. That makes it easy to count in fives and count the few left over at the end. Total Fats and Oils Total Proteins Total Vitamins & Minerals Total Carbohydrates 3. List the times and days when Rajesh ate fruit or vegetables. 40 Life and Living
4. What important food group is Rajesh missing from his diet if he does not eat enough fruit and vegetables? 5. Can you predict what will happen if Rajesh continues with this diet? 6. Now that you have tallied up the dierent food groups that Rajesh ate in aweek, do you think he ate a balanced diet? Why do you say so? 7. Do you think Rajesh is avery active person? Why do you say so? 8. Takeaways are known for being fatty and oily because restaurants often prepare the food in deep oil. Rajesh and Farrah's family ate takeaways twice in the week and the mom cooked twice. Compare the cooked meals with the takeaways specifically focusing on the amount of oil used to prepare the meals.
