Next, I used the “Energy & Nutrient Composition of Foods” tool to analyze the three sets of breakfasts I consumed for each day. The bread and mango juice I took the first day gave me the most amount of energy, 1076kcal. It also gave me the most amounts of proteins and carbohydrates. However, my breakfast on the third day of walnut cakes and soyabean drink had the most amounts of fats, 19g. My breakfast of porridge on the second day seems to be the healthiest, but it does not provide me with a lot of nutrients, excepts plenty of sodium.
