I took down the times I ate every day and how I felt during that day. I wanted to get this information and analyze how the way I eat during the day, affects my mood. Before taking down this data, I already know that the way I eat is like a roller coaster. Some days I have a very big appetite or I actually have the time to have a meal. Other times, I don’t really get a chance to get a meal and eat it or I’m not really feeling like eating.

I decided to record data about my eating schedule and how it affects my mood during the day. I chose this information to record and analyze because I was curious on if food plays a role on how I feel every day. People typically just record how they’re feeling but sometimes they won’t record a specific variable for why they feel how they feel.

I basically tracked what meals I ate for the day and what times I ate. Then, I analyzed how I felt for the day. Before tracking any data, I already knew that my eating schedule is like a roller coaster. It depends on if I actually have time to sit and have a meal or if I have an appetite. Most times, I don’t get time to have the proper amount of meals which is 2-3 meals a day. When you eat three meals (breakfast, lunch, dinner) a day, you are most likely to function and perform better.

As a result, I came to the conclusion that when I eat 2+ meals a day, especially breakfast, I feel my best or better than when I eat one meal a day. When I eat 2 meals a day I feel more energetic and I am able to focus on my tasks. I realized that how I eat not only affects my mood but it plays a role on how I perform during the day at school and work. Recording and analyzing this data helped me understand that if I want to focus better, I should start eating 2-3 meals a day even if it means being late to where ever I have to go.
