Blog #1: Megan Gwee's blog
http://gweeats.blogspot.com/


I find that Megan's blog is rather comprehensive in terms of the recording of the food she has eaten for the 3 days as she included snacks, e.g. Popping Candy. However, I think that she could be more detailed when stating the quantity she consumed for several food items. For example, she states that she ate 1 packet of popping candy. However, we have no clue how much exactly 1 packet is -- Is it one large packet of 100g or one small packet of 20g? 


For her analysis, I think that including a picture of the food pyramid is very useful for reference. Her elaboration, on the other hand, could be more elaborate and detailed. Perhaps it would be better if she provided evidence from her own recordings as it is rather vague to say "most" of her food intakes fall under the lowest category. She could give more exact numbers. Also, she mentions that most of her intakes fall in the lowest and second-from-top category. However, does this mean that she consumes nothing from the other two categories? Again, she can be more specific. 


As for her healthy dish, she mentions that rice contains carbohydrates, "which is good for you". It is a rather vague sentence as one may wonder what defines "good". She could give a more detailed explanation as to what are the functions of carbohydrates and the possible implications for too much or too little of it. She also states that chicken stew is not deep fried and thus, it is a healthy way of cooking. She does not mention what is the method of cooking as a method that is not deep fried is not equivalent to being healthy. 


Blog #2: Joyce Xu's blog

It is commendable that Joyce used many tools to help analyze her meals. Her blog is very neat and comprehensive in all aspects. She uses pictures to elaborate and to reemphasize her points. I also enjoyed reading the additional information she provided and this extra effort is good. 


When looking at graphs, it is often a little confusing to see so many at once. Perhaps she could have a quick summary at the end of each day and on her RDDA post (where she included 2 tables showing the acceptable RDA for healthy children and adolescents) to reiterate the main points she is trying to show. Also, she could specify which age group she belongs in for her RDDA post so that it is easier for the reader to refer to when looking at her diet. 


Blog #3: Tang Chin Fang's blog

I think that Chin Fang's blog is very eye-catching and appealing to readers! :) Her words are larger than usual and are of suitable colours for one to be able to read and to decorate her blog! :) Good job! :)


I think that she has done a great job overall as all the important points are included. She has made use of the tools to aid her in analyzing her diet. Perhaps she could summarize at the end of each day to highlight the main unhealthy points in her diet and to focus the reader's attention rather than let them wander. 


For her RDDA post, I think that she has done a good job by elaborating on each point given by the website. However,  it would be better if she could add in a few of her own personal thoughts. :)
