Throughout week one of the fit day challenge, I learned that my diet is not terrible but it could always use some improvements. According to the RDA standards, I was not consuming the appropriate amount of calories for my age, weight, and body type. Out of the twenty five hundred calories I was allotted I was only consuming anywhere from eighteen hundred to two thousand calories a day, even with all of the unnecessary snacking I do. On an average day, I am not consuming enough Vitamin A. According to RDA I should be having nine hundred micrograms of Vitamin A and with the help of carrots, broccoli, and most fruits I can increase my micrograms. When looking at the RDA for Vitamin E fifteen milligrams is the standard and I was well under that number. Leafy green vegetables such as lettuce, cabbage, or broccoli are all great sources of Vitamin E that I can easily incorporate in to my diet to increase my milligrams. Fit day pointed out my deficiencies as well as my abundances in week one. My selenium levels compared to RDA were considered high almost every day during week one. Not really knowing what selenium was I researched it and found that it is required for thyroid gland to function proper and that it also helps to protect my body from cancers. Taking in too much selenium can cause bad breath, diarrhea, and hair loss. Chicken, turkey, whole grains and Brazil nuts (which happen to be one of my favorite snacks) are good sources of selenium.

I consume a lot of chicken, brown rice, and fish during my every day diet. My sodium intake each day is more than twice the amount I should be consuming. Going by the RDA standards I should be consuming fifteen hundred milligrams each day and I took in at least four
