Food and nutrition, making healthy choices (portfolio assignment)

Description:

In this assignment, students explore their food choices and the impact these have on their health and energy intake. They compare nutritional values of McDonald’s meals, calculate how much physical activity is needed to burn off those calories, and reflect on their own eating habits. Additionally, they research different dietary lifestyles (regular, vegetarian, and vegan) and learn how each can meet nutritional needs. The assignment encourages awareness of healthy eating and energy balance, and asks students to reflect on their personal choices.
