The first reason is I do not have enough time to eat. Between school and work it is very hard to find time to eat some meals. This causes me to eat non-healthy food because it is easier to prepare. I would estimate that I only have approximately ten minutes to eat about half of my meals. Less time to eat also contributes to lack of caring about what I eat. I also have a poor diet because healthy foods seem to be more expensive. When I shop I usually buy the cheapest products. This mainly happens because I love saving my money. When I see foods that are expensive I just ignore them and buy the cheap stuff. I also only buy stuff that has a long shelf life. This is the main reason I don’t eat enough fruits and vegetables. My diet is also poor because I consume a lot of empty calories. As you can tell by my diet log I drink more than I should. My alcohol consumption loads my diet up with empty calories, therefore I am not getting the nutrition I need. The last reason my diet is less than stellar is because of my roommates’ influence. My roommates are avid supporters of non-healthy food and over the last three years of college this has rubbed off on me. Freshman year I found myself eating fairly healthy but now I rarely eat anything healthy. I do believe I can change my diet but I need to overcome the individual and social
