Students of 3th grade of Secondary have made a PERSONAL WEEKLY DIET SURVEY, following the theoretical and practical explanations of the phisical education teacher.
During a whole week they have taken note of all foods they have eaten, and they've made a table classifying food according to the Food Wheel.
They have calculated the intakes from their REAL DIET and from their IDEAL DIET.
They compare both, following the Food Wheel recommendations, in order to know if they have a balanced and healthy diet.
