Unit 2 Project: Making Better Eating Decisions
Unit 2 Project: Making Better Eating Decisions
It’s late at night and my friends and I are hungry. There are only a few places open right now so we have to choose between IHoP and Subway. It’s a tough decision so we had this discussion about it:
“I prefer IHoP but maybe Subway would be healthier,” I said, conflicted between my pancake craving and my desire to be healthy.
My friend tried to offer some guidance, “Well, Subway would definitely be cheaper. Combos are, like, 5 bucks and you don’t have to tip anybody.”
“Yeah, but there’s a lot of bread, mayonnaise, and I’d probably get cookies and juice with the combo. I don’t want to drink diet soda right now because the caffeine will keep me up all night,” I debated aloud.
She asked, “What would you get if we went to IHoP?”
“I love the Chocolate Chip pancakes...mmmmm. But just pancakes would probably be pretty bad- all carbs, no vitamins or protein. I’d probably get the Pancake Combo where you get to pick the kind of pancakes you want. I could get bacon instead of sausage because I hear that’s better for you.”
“But what about the hash browns? Those are probably just as unhealthy as the bread and mayonnaise on a sandwich.”
“True...but I could live without hash browns. I’ll just substitute fruit in place of the hash browns. I wonder how many calories that’d save me...”
“Hopefully enough to balance out the juice and cookies you’d get at Subway.”
“Yeah, I think that IHoP might have the potential to be healthier. At least there are options for fruit and protein instead of mostly carbs. If I went to Subway, I’d probably get a 6” Cold Cut with mayo, mustard, and cheese on Honey Oat Bread. Plus the juice and chocolate chip cookies...that sounds like a whole lot of bad stuff. I wish there were someone here who could help me do the math...”
Your job:
Help me make a healthy decision by figuring out how many calories I would eat at each restaurant. Use the attached information to do it. Once you make a decision, explain how you found the information that helped clear up the confusion.
Your Final Product:
Create a Nutrition Wheel that matches each food item with the calories in it. You can choose 10 items you usually eat, but at least 5 need to be from the IHoP menu.
You will also need to show all of your work- NEATLY- on a sheet of paper.
