This Week's Notes

Hello Health students!

Due to a scheduling conflict, this week's lecture notes, covering Nutrition, will be posted on Wednesday, Feb. 4. Be sure to check back at that time to get them printed so that you can bring them to class on Thursday (or Friday, if you are in 4th Period).

If you have any questions, please let me know!

This Week's Schedule

Hello Health students!

This week is going to be a busy one, so I hope you are well rested!

We start on Monday with our first exam, covering the "Super Size Me" video. We will move quickly from there, tackling topics that include body health, nutrition, and organ systems. All the while, your calorie-counting should be continued as well!

Good luck on tomorrow's exam. And, as always, if you have any questions, please let me know!

Super Size Me Worksheet

Hello Health students!

We have started the award-winning documentary "Super Size Me," which takes a close and personal look at the obesity epidemic from the perspective of a man who eats nothing but McDonald's menu items 3 times a day for one whole month.


Linked below is the worksheet to complete, which we will talk about in much detail in class when we finish the film. Yes, there are 70 questions, but we'll make sure you know the answer to each and every one, so long as you are ready to hear the material! Also, the film material is fair game for the exam that will be announced soon, so keep that in mind as you watch!

CalorieLab


Hello Health students!

As we begin the Calorie Counting Project tomorrow, CalorieLab is a wonderful website that can prove helpful to many of you looking for more calorie-counting resources. It provides nutritional information for popular foods and restaurants and covers quite a bit of data, so you should be able to cover what you're looking for.

REMEMBER, this project is not meant to be difficult and does not require a large investment of your time. Use the resources on this blog to help you along your way and to keep things as simple as possible!

Also, remember that you are only accounting for the calories you are consuming. You SHOULD NOT be eating less or eating more based upon the numbers you are observing. You are only counting calories, and nothing more. Good luck!

"Super Size Me"

Hello Health students!

Instead of printing out notes today, as you will be doing most every Sunday from this point on for the following week's lectures, you are only required to come to class tomorrow ready to watch the documentary "Super Size Me." Some of you have already started the film in your respective periods, and we will continue the film where we left off.

See you all tomorrow!

Calorie Counting Advice

Hello Health students!

A quick piece of advice to help you along with your Calorie Counting Project.

Instead of logging in what foods you eat and the calories they possess at the same time, it might be helpful to log what foods you eat first, and then look up how many calories they possess later on.

And remember, the project starts on Monday, Jan. 26, so be ready!
