My Food Pyramid
 Reflection

After tracking my food consumption for 3 days, I learned a lot about my daily diet and the
things that I need to change. Only consuming the recommended servings is important because
they have the correct amount biomolecules and enzymes to maintain homeostasis. Each
macromolecule is important to maintain homeostasis. Proteins build and repair muscles, lipids
store energy, and carbohydrates are important for fat homeostasis and gives the brain energy to
function. Without these macromolecules and metabolic processes, our body would not sustain
balance.
Because I am a swimmer, I need a lot of protein to build and repair my muscles. Protein is
necessary for athletes, so that is why I typically eat more than the recommendation. Proteins
are synthesized to maintain homeostasis. Protein synthesis creates proteins, which are
responsible for cell function, and they are necessary to repair muscles.While completing this
assignment, I noticed that I only consume around 1,500 calories. Swimmers typically need to
eat over 3,000 calories because they burn a lot of calories in the water. In addition, I also need
to consume more lipids because they are necessary to maintain temperature homeostasis. In
conclusion, this project made me realize that I need to consume a lot of protein, calories, and
healthy fats while I exercise to maintain homeostasis.
