STEP 2

There were two major factors that impacted my intake on the day I completed my food journal. The first factor was time. I packed my lunch to take to work, but I left it at home since I was running late. Then, because I only get 30 minutes for lunch, my only option was to skip lunch completely or get fast food. I selected fast food because I was hungry.

The second factor that impacted my food choices on this day was habit. I have a habit of eating Oreos for my snack at night. I don’t even have to think about it, I just grab them and eat them. As Callahan, Leonard, and Powell (2020) share, habits can impact our health in positive or negative ways. In this case, I believe my habit is probably impacting my health in a negative way.
