I visited Health Promotion Board at hpb.gov.sg to find out more about tools which can help analyze my diet. I used Recipe Analysis to evaluate the home-cooked dinner I took on Day 1 to see its nutritional values. It turns out the white cooked rice was the one part of the meal that gave me almost my entire energy intake. It also had the highest amount of carbohydrates, 249g out of 251g that meal contained. It contained 1,120kcals out of the total 1,515kcl. The scrambled Egg with whole milk, butter and pepper had a whopping 192mg of cholesterol. This shows I should perhaps cut down on butter next time. The cabbage also gave me a high amount of unnecessary sodium, 447mg.
