Cooking for real

Second PDT lab!

Cooking for real this time.

Since my group is the only one with three members, we were required to prepare dinner and a snack.

My case was about a busy university student who is currently staying in hostel. She has normal BMI but was overweight before this. So, she intended to achieve the ideal body weight for her height. We were required to plan a dinner which she'll be able to cook it at the hostel. She has a muti-cooker but not a fridge. Our budget for dinner is RM6 and for snack is RM4.

After assessing her case and did A LOT of calculations including her calorie needed using various formulae, her usual calorie and macronutrients intake, recommended calorie and macronutrients intake for her, we came up with this menu for dinner and snack.

For dinner:
Telur goreng kacang buncis, ABC soup, apple and plain water.

Looked like there were more ingredients than water.

This is kacang buncis! I mistaken kacang botor for kacang buncis. And i experimented at home using kacang botor -.-

Minum petang:

Milo kosong and cream cracker biscuits.

Well, supposed to serve three square pieces of cream crackers but the lab assistant got the wrong one so we removed the cream and served six small pieces as one exchange of CHO.

Next lab, we're going western!

We're supposed to cook for Mr. John, a Caucasian.
