Introduction

Hi, my name is Max, and this is my Wellness and Fitness Project. For this project, I am required to create a ten day food diary using MyFitnessPal, which is a really cool website that allows you to track everything you eat and all exercise. The website has a huge database of almost every food imaginable. Even homemade foods have an average value for calories, sodium, fat, carbs, etc. Throughout my entire ten days, I did not have a single food that MyFitnessPal didn't have a match for.

Another component of the assignment was to find my Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR), Body Mass Index (BMI), and some information about my heart. All of this info can be found under the Body Info tab above, or you can click here. My Fitness and Nutrition Reports from MyFitnessPal can be found under the Body Info tab as well.

During my 10 day recording period, I actually had a stomach bug, so it is worth noting that my data is significantly skewed. I did not eat as many calories as for some of the days, and only exercised twice which is very much out of character for me.

A few details on using this site... 

A few notes about viewing this website- in order to go back to after clicking a link, select the back arrow in your internet browser (usually in the top right corner). Also, I included a Song of the Day in each post. To play the song, just click the play button (the song may take a second to load). Finally, under the My 10 Story tab, the most recent post is Day 10. To go in chronological order, scroll to the bottom of the page until you see Day 1.
