Diet Overview

This is an overall evaluation of my diet as we can see for most days in the morning I did not have any breakfast which was not good, as breakfast is the most important meal of the day also I went through days were I ate the same type of food only for different days.

The number of meals I had within one day were sometimes between one or two, most of them not being large portions which isn't very good for someone who plays rugby. Before training I would have a small amount to eat then go train.  

The strengths of my diet my diet contained two of the nutrients such as carbohydrates within the porridge giving me a slow release of energy also filling you up longer. This was good for me to eat before training because the type of training I did needed a slow release of energy.

Weaknesses my diet did not contain some of the crucial nutrients for example it lacked a high amount of  protein as a rugby player it is crucial to get enough protein after training or a workout protein helps rebuild muscle. Also my diet lacked fats as a rugby fats are essential to giving bones that extra protection and strengthening them.
