Which choice of breakfast is healthiest for me and why?

Since I'm eating healthier lunches and dinners, I would like to start waking up earlier and getting in a good but healthy breakfast. I narrowed my choices down to  three, which are pancakes, oatmeal and a bagel. My hypothesis is that oatmeal will be the healthiest for me.


From eating pancakes I will receive 250 calories, 8 grams total fat, 75mg cholesterol, 800mg sodium, 160mg potassium, 37g total carbohydrate, and 8g protein.

From eating oatmeal I will receive 190 calories, 3g of fat, 4g of fiber, 48mg of sodium, 1 g of sugar and 33g carbohydrate.

From eating a bagel I will receive 280 calories, 1g fat, 0mg cholesterol, 490mg sodium, 59g total carbohydrate, and 9g of protein.

My hypothesis was correct because oatmeal based on the nutrition facts proves that its the healthiest with a bagel leading right behind it and pancakes finishing last.

Tyrees Blog About Fruit

     Do you think during a work out or after a work out you should eat specific fruits or any fruits and what fruits you should eat if you catch cramps or a charlie horse.The three fruits that are being eaten during or after the work and if you catch a cramp are Apples, Bananas, and Grapes. For the work out i think that eating the Bananas and the grapes are good for you. The fruits you should eat when you have cramps are bananas. Eating bananas after a work out is good because there a good source of potassium. its also good because Bananas keep a normal water balance between the cells and body fluids. They say that Grapes are best to eat before and while you working out because there low on calories. Calories are good for energy so they would give you energy to work out before and Grapes have lots of water so you can work out and still be hydrated. The Bananas are good for cramps because of the low potassium. 

      When i went on the internet to find research everything that i explained in the first paragraph on why you should eat those fruits were correct. The Bananas help with cramps big time because its low in potassium and that helps with the relieve the cramps.The Grapes helps while working out to because they hold alot of water and while your eating them your eating healthy and you staying hydrated at the same time. The bananas were good to eat while working out too because Bananas have calories and calories give off energy so when you get done eating the Banana you would have more energy then when you started. In order goes Apples, Grapes then Bananas.

Kit Kats, Sneakers, Twix

Candy Bar	Total Carbohydrate	Total fat	Protein	Cholesterol	Sodium	Calories	Vitamin A
Kit Kat	27g	11g	3g	5mg	23mg	218	1%

You can see clearly that I picked the three different Candy bars and in the table it tells you the nutrition facts of every candy bar that is placed there. To be honest with you I would pick the Kit Kat because I think it’s healthier, but nothing here is healthy though but the kit kat is better because it has fewer calories than anything here and it at least has 1% vitamin A because no other ones have vitamin A at all. The Kit Kat is the healthiest product here because it shows you a lot less fat or sodium and the other products have worse things for your health. So all if you have a choice to pick between these candies bars pick Kit Kat. The Snicker and Twix are bad for you because  

                                                                                          

Which drink do think is going to help me exercise better?

I am trying to figure out which drink will allow me to keep a well maintained pace while i get my workout in. I found 3 different drinks but  i am not sure which drink will be able to help me exercise and have more proficiency  I have Gatorade, Powerade, and Flavored Water. I think that the Gatorade will be the drink that is able to let me exercise with more strength to get an intense workout. My main goal is to figure out which drink can last me through my workout.

The Gatorade's serving size  591 mL, the amount of calories is 140, 160 mg of sodium and holds 39.2 g of total carbohydrates. Gatorade also has Calcium, iron, Vitamin A, and Vitamin C.

The Powerade has a serving of 584 mL containing 156 calories followed by 107 mg of sodium, and 38 g of total carbohydrate. Powerade also contains calcium, iron, vitamin A, and Vitamin C.

The flavored water holds 16 fl in the bottle and has 223 calories in it. The amount of sodium is 100 mg and its total carbohydrates is 31 g. Also there is calcium, iron, vitamin A, and vitamin C

All of the servings are realistic amounts and it is the amount that i drink when i  have the drink.

The difference between the sizes and the nutritional facts are that the shape and size of the bottle and how much of it you conserve. The affects that it has are that they all give you energy but some only last for a certain amount of time then you need to reboost with more of the drink. There is no major affect besides weight gain and calories from drinking but you burn it off in the workout

Which cereal is healthiest for you & why ?

Im basically trying to figure out which of the 3 cereals will be the healthiest choose to eat from. The cereals I choose were Cheerios , Frosted Flakes , Golden Grahams . My hypothesis is that i think the Cheerios is going to be the most healthiest of them all & the Frosted Flakes will most likely be the the most unhealthiest. I felt is those the cheerios would be the best because its had the least amount of calories & other facts in the nutrients facts. 

In the serving size for all the products frosted flakes was the one with the most serving of 1 box.

Cheerios had the smallest amount of calories of 100 & frosted flakes had 130 & Golden Grahams had a amount of 120.The total fats were frosted flakes had none & golden grahams with 1g , cheerios had 2g.

All of the three products had 0 in cholesterol. They all were very high in sodium with frosted flakes having 170 , & Golden Grahams having 270 & lastly Cheerios with 190. Frosted flakes was the one with the highest in carbohydrates with 31. The dietary fibers were very low with number of 1 from both frosted flakes and golden grahams & cheerios with a 3.Mainly all of the products were high in nutrients with calcium and iron,vitamin a & c.

My hypothesis was clearly wrong because i thought that cheerios was the healthiest & frosted flakes would be the most unhealthiest.Which in fact this is wrong because well cheerios is the healthiest but frosted flakes is not the most unhealthiest.In fact Golden Grahams is the most unhealthiest just because its so high in sodium and has more higher counts in things than the other two.

The serving sizes listed were for frosted flakes 1 box and for the other two Golden Graham had 3/4 cups and Cheerios had 1 cup serving. Yes i believe that the servings they had are normal serving sizes because mainly i do usually eat 1 cup or cereal.

Difference Between Three Types of Bread

Which is the healthiest bread, White, Whole Wheat, or Whole Grain?  I believe that Whole Grain is the healthiest of the three choices.  Deciding which bread would be healthier is important if you want to eat healthy, since bread is a popular food product in everyday life.  All three choices have many similarities but slight differences.

Name of Product	Whole Grain	Whole Wheat	White
Serving Size	1 slice	1 slice	2 slices
Total Calories (kcal)	100	100	130
Total Fat (g)	2g	1.5g	2.5
Total Carbohydrates (g)	20g	20g	23g

The total calories in White Bread were clearly more than the Whole Grain and Whole Wheat.  White Bread was higher in every row shown above, which left the Whole Grain and Wheat to be compared.  The total fat was higher in the Whole Grain by a slight margin of .5g.  Also, not shown in the table, Whole Grain had 115mg of sodium while the Whole Wheat only had 105mg of sodium.  In result, the Whole Wheat would be healthier out of the three choices by slight margins when compared to the Whole Grain and larger margins when compared to the White Bread.

The serving sizes for both the Whole Grain and Whole Wheat was 1 slice, and the White was 2 slices.  The serving sizes on the labels were not realistic.  No one at one time is going to eat only 1 slice of bread, most people use bread to make sandwiches which need 2 slices.  The White Bread food label was realistic, as that one said the serving size was 2 slices which is more realistic then 1 slice per serving.  Both Whole Grain and Wheat had 1 slice each which didn’t alter the values of nutrition, but the White bread had a serving size of 2 slices which altered there nutritional value because there were more slices.  Since the serving size was 1 slice for the Grain and Wheat, it did not make a difference in values and how they compared, but the White had 2 slices which caused that value to be higher and more than the other two because it had more to accommodate for.
