Eating Out:

Usually when I eat out, when I eat out, I prefer to eat out for breakfast rather than lunch or dinner. Recently I have been going to Einstein Bros, in which generally I order a honey whole wheat bagel and a mixed berry smoothie. The honey whole wheat bagel has 260 calories, 3 grams of total fat, 49 grams of carbs, and 12 grams of protein. On the other hand, the mixed berry smoothie has 390 calories, 0.5 grams of fat, 97 grams of carbs, and 3 grams of protein.

This entire meal was 145 calories, in which I was somewhat surprised about. I definitely expected the total number of calories to be somewhat low because of how little calories were in the spinach, but I was surprised at how low the total amount was. Also, in this meal I did not consume any added sugars, which is significantly lower than my limit of 45g of added sugars a day.

In this meal, I consumed 16% of my daily calorie limit of 1,800 calories.

Food Label Comparison:

The two foods that I choose to base this question off of are the two things I usually will eat for breakfast instead of going to Einstein Bro’s: Quaker Pumpkin Spiced Oatmeal and Envirokidz Corn Puffs Gorilla Munch. The first three ingredients of the oatmeal are whole gain rolled oats, sugar, and nonfat dry milk. The first three ingredients of the cereal are whole gain corn meal, corn meal, and cane sugar. The first three indigents for both products did not surprise me. I was expecting the oatmeal to have less healthy ingredients than the cereal.

For the oatmeal, 14% of the total calories are coming from fat, 80% from carbs, and 10% from proteins. For the cereal, 7% of total calories are coming from fat, 86% from carbs, and 6% from
