Today morning, our English teacher assigned us a practical homework in the first class of this week, which required to observe own diet and record the status for 7 consecutive days. When I firstly heard the task, I was willing to try it and achieve this accomplishment because I have never achieved this kind of interesting creation. But the main resistance for someone who is not good at English writing and speaking, is writing this experience in English by myself. Nevertheless, I will try my best to write in English myself, practicing the language learning method of produce own language, rather than relying solely on translation. |  |

Of course, in consideration of my inefficient English writing skill and limited time spending arrangement in study life, I possibly record every diet concisely, but completion here may be more important than perfection.
Breakfast
When I got washed and dressed in the morning, the time had been approximately 7: 50, so I had no time to prepare for a well-prepared breakfast and enjoy my meal before I arrived the class at 8:00. Henceforth, I took a packaged whole wheat bread, equivalent to about two palm-sized slices of toast, and made a plan to replenish the hunger that may arise in the morning after class. After the fist class, I deed felt a little hungry, so I ate the bread hasly outside. As it turns out, it's wise to take convenient food if you have no enough time to prepare for breakfast. Otherwise, I will endure hunger for two classes and may lose focus during class.
Lunch and Dinner
As a southerner who has just arrived in the north, I absolutely love eating diaozha pie. I buy diaozha pie for lunch and dinner because it's not only delicious but also very affordable and filling.

Breakfast
This morning I have enough time to paper a well paper breakfast, so I plan to eat the whole oatmeal with milk, which is rich in enough protein and dietary fiber. In the vacation, I can enjoy my meal at leisure. By the way, I also ate the Inner Mongolia milk mooncake that Wang Qi gave me. It's a specialty food from their region, and it's supposed to have cheese filling, but the milk flavor isn't very strong.
Lunch and Dinner
I bought a miscellaneous coarse cereals pancake for lunch and on the way to Taiyuan city for a side trip, ordered two hamburgers at the canteen in the Yingxi Campus of Taiyuan University of Technology for dinner. Although the meals were simple, I was satisfied.
Friday, October 2
In the morning, I still have oatmeal with milk and whole wheat bread. At noon, I bought a piece of fried dough cake to eat. In the evening, I bought another piece of multi-grain pancake to eat.
Saturday, October 3
Today's diet is the same as yesterday, the same food, the same bakery, so that the boss lady already knows what I want to buy before I even open my mouth. Unlike others who pursue novel and different shops, I prefer stable and reliable stalls when buying meals at school, because I don't want to take risks at the expense of my health to give up what I like or endure what I don't like in exchange for a different meal, nor do I want to spend unnecessarily. If conditions permit, I will prepare a reasonable meal every day without repeating the same dishes.
Sunday, October 4
Today, as usual, I had oatmeal, milk, and bread for breakfast, and a portion of mixed grain jianbing guozi bought from the same old place for both lunch and dinner.
Monday, October 5
For breakfast, I still have oatmeal with milk and bread. For lunch, I had spicy hot pot, which tasted decent, but apart from the vegetables, most of the ingredients were frozen and processed semi-finished products. Moreover, the price was slightly expensive, making it not a long-term healthy choice.
In the evening, I still bought a mixed grain pancake from the same place to eat. Although it was a repeat, I was very satisfied.
Tuesday, October 6
Today marks the final meal of my 7-day dietary record. I started my morning as usual, with oat milk and bread. For lunch, I revisited my favorite spot and ordered a mixed-grain pancake. In the evening, I took advantage of the Tuesday discount at Tastin' and bought two hamburgers. I also want to thank the store manager for giving me a complimentary Coke when she noticed I had been waiting for a while.
Although the total calorie count of two Tastin' Spicy Chicken Leg Burgers and a Coke is approximately 1250 to 1400 calories, making it a very high-calorie meal, from a nutritional perspective, it is a typical combination of high carbohydrates, high fat, and high sodium. However, eating it occasionally is not harmful, and I am still quite happy and satisfied.
