dietary analysis
One of my uni assignments requires a meticulous tracking of the foods I’m eating. I even have to weigh them as much as I can. So my lunchtime noodles had to be broken down like this:
- 250 g egg noodles
- 100 g silverbeet
- 50 g Shaved Ham
- EN: 109 kcal
- PRO: 160 g
- Fat: 2 g (0.8 g sat)
- CHO: 7 g (0.9 g sug)
- Sodium: 1300 mg
- 2 chicken eggs
- 15 ml Kikkoman Soy Sauce
The work required kinda puts me off eating complicated foods, or foods without weight and nutritional breakdowns. Mleh.

As part of my Chinese revision, I break down lyrics from Chinese pop artists. I’m on my 2nd song, but at the moment it’s very interesting how succinct and abstract these lyrics can be. The first line of one of Jay Chow’s songs is only 15 characters, but has the following:
“As the eaves are like cliffs, and as the chimes are like the blue seas, I wait for the swallow to return.”
… how are eaves like cliffs? How are wind chimes like blue seas? How profound.
