ReplyDeleteThe egg is placed in a bowl of any size and cooked slightly, cooks until the egg white is almost solid and the yolk is still soft. Butter or margarine is added to prevent the egg from sticking .
ReplyDeleteEggs, according to the Incredible Edible Egg's website contain 13 essential nutrients and only contain 70 calories on average.Pouched Eggs also contain magnesium, sodium, calcium, ribflavin, thiamin, phosphorous, iron and zinc. In addition, eggs contain two compounds called lutein and zeazeathin.
ReplyDeletehttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Whole-wheat_flour
ReplyDeletethis is a link about whole wheat flour
When you eat eggs, the nutrient is very high. Its good to eat eggs in the morning with other fruits and/or cheeses. Its an easy thing to eat whenever you are in a rush or wanna enjoy a good healthy breakfast.
ReplyDeletecan you only have it with fruits and cheeses
Deletei thought that poached egg is not that healthy so how come it is healthy now.
Deleteyou thought, and food doesnt just suddenly become healthy
DeleteIt would be fun preparing food in the kitchen.
ReplyDeletePoached eggs are very healthy because it has all the nutritions of egg without added fat from frying in oil or butter.
-a large egg has 75 calories,and poaching adds no calories or fat.
-Eating nothing but eggs for a month isn't a healthy way to lose weight.
eggs for a month isn't a healthy way to lose weight.but will you still lose weight

Don't know what the end part means.
would you consider 160 calories a lot?
Deletefor our age I think we will naturally lose more pounds than older people. And we need more calories a day than older people than us.
DeleteAnd I think 160 is okay but I don't think steel cut oats fill your stomach so you will intend to eat more which will might be a lot for your body because 1/4 cup serving is not enough.
ya that is true do you think that if something taste good does it have more calories
Deletethats something to think about.
Deletesteel cut oats wont fill your stomach, and if something tastes good, you want more and i agree that you would want more and gain a lot of calories.
Poaching an egg is nutritionally one of the best ways of serving an egg. Poached eggs contain all the nutrients without added fat from frying in oil or butter.
ReplyDeleteWhole wheat bread is much harder to digest so it will fill you up more, causing you not to eat much of it. Some benefits of whole wheat is that it is rich in calcium, iron, fiber, and minerals. However it is high in oil, some whole wheat are not entirely whole wheat the contain some white wheat.
Half of your bodies dry weight is protein, there is a high level of protein in meat (fish,chicken,lamb)Proteins are digested to release amino acids (amino acid release new protein converted into hormones such as adrenalin or used as an energy source.)
Benefits of steel cut oats is it provides you with only 150 calories for 1/2 a cup, also helps lower cholesterol, provides 5g of protein.
Calories is the amount of energy food contains
why do you think calories are bad when it is the amount of energy
Deletei don't think calories are bad for you i said that it gives you energy which your body needs for different activities such as breathing,pumping blood, walking, sitting, thinking, etc. However taking in to much calories, and not burning enough can lead to weight gain.
Deletepoached eggs are good for you because they contain protein, B vitamins, Vits A and D, calcium, iron, selenium and other trace elements.They contain less calories than fried because you don't use fat to cook them in.
ReplyDeletePoached Eggs: Eggs that have been prepared by poaching. so when you cook it in water. For one large poached egg (50g) there are 71 calories, 6.3g protein, 5% Vitamin A, 4% Vitamin D. -47 (mildly inflammatory) (daily amount of 50)
ReplyDeleteMr.Cheney I tried finding the definition of inflammatory, but it doesnt relate to food.
Whole Wheat Bread: 71% carbs, 17% fats and 12% protein. -78 mildly inflammatory
Calories: Calories are energy, we need the right amount of calories in our body in order to be able to move, but too much isnt healthy.
Protein: Protein helps strengthen bones, is good for growth and body repair. Foods with a large amount of protein are milk, eggs (whites), nuts, fish, beans,
Before researching I thought steel cut oats are like the more pure, healthier type, unlike quaker oats. I researched and found out that 1/4 a cup steel-cut oats has 170 calories and still has that amount when cooked. (The amount of calories for breakfast time need is around 300-500.) You will get 29g carbs, 38g of fibre, and 7g of protein.
I also already know about the difference between potatoes, brown rice and white rice. Level of healthiness goes in that order.
One Cup of each contains....
Calories: cooked potatoes 138, cooked brown rice 216, cooked white rice 205
Protein: potatoes 3g, white rice 4g, brown rice 5g
Carbs: potatoes 26g, white rice 45g, brown rice 4g
Fibre: potatoes 3g, white rice 1g, brown rice 4g
Fat: potatoes 2.8g, white rice 0.4g, brown rice 1.8g
Go on the girls health page that Mrs. Jack wrote and ask her about Inflammation and food!
DeleteShe would appreciate answering the question.
do you think if someone wanted to gain wait would they want more calories
Delete@aqib
DeleteI don't think consuming more calories is a good thing to do. Maybe you can have foods with a bit more fat, but I don't see why anyone would like to gain weight.
Doesn't everyone want to be skinny, and maintain that?
If you want to gain weight in muscle you need to eat lots of protein.
Deletebut a protein bar isnt the best to gain protein right?
Deleteis carbs as bad as calories
DeleteCan we please have a cooking class ?
ReplyDeleteSteel cut oats are full with nutritional value, and is high on vitamin B, calcium, protein, and fiber. It also has low sugar.
ReplyDeleteSteel cut oats are very healthy.
Steel cut oats in oatmeal is a great replacement to cereal. Cereals contain lots of sugar and corn syrup.
http://www.joybauer.com/food-articles/refined-grains.aspx
ReplyDeletethis is a link i found it is about wholegrain wheas
What did you learn? share
Deleteok well i learnt the inside facts on the difference of whole grain and white grain and i gotRefined grains include white rice, white bread, regular white pasta, and other foods that have been made with white flour (also called enriched wheat flour or all-purpose flour), including many cookies, cakes, breakfast cereals, crackers, and snack foods.
DeleteWhole grains contain three parts: the bran (outer layer), endosperm (middle layer), and germ (inner layer). The bran and germ are the most nutritious parts of the grain; they contain concentrated amounts of fiber, vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants. During the refining process, however, the bran and germ are removed from the whole grain. The endosperm, the part of the grain that is left after the refining process, is primarily composed of starchy carbohydrates and is low in nutrients. Some nutrients, including iron and a handful of B vitamins, are added back to refined grains and flours during manufacturing (hence the term "enriched wheat flour"), but these represent only a fraction of what is initially removed from the grain. For these reasons, refined grains do not provide the same health benefits as whole grains.
The cooking idea is different, and I think it would be cool to do.
ReplyDeleteIs there going to be a poll about it?
There is a poll, go vote!
Deleteso far majority wants the cooking class.
Deleteonly one no.
Yes, lets start to plan, food, time, and what we want to achieve
Deletewhat will we be making?
Delete@MRCHENEY all we have to bring tommorow is a white shirt ??
ReplyDeleteyes, white is best for the photo
DeletePoaching is one of the healthiest ways to serve eggs as it has protein, vitamins,calcium, iron, selenium etc...etc.. and requires no oil to cook. If you are eating healthy and trying to lose weight, then adding an egg to your breakfast may actually help you in weight loss.Now i have a cousin named Anurag in India and i learned this over my trip my cousin likes to lift weights and all of that so he goes to a gym everyday , he has a personal trainer this trainer is basically for a guide for Anurag's diet and this trainer told him to eat egg as much as you want but only the whiteish part of the egg not the yellow
ReplyDeleteyolk. i wondered why until i found out that the white has fewer calories and the majority of the protein in the egg but that didn't mean the yellow didn't, it was just the white is much healthier because it doesn't contain much calories and i never ever knew about this at all and when i saw what my cousin ate it would be like non-salted peanuts , white meat and i tried eating all of this and it was disgusting in the sense's very PLAIN like white meat and red meat the difference red is very nice and juicy where as white is very dry and not so yumm or delicious as red.
You can actually eat the whole egg. Traditionally people feared that removing the yolk would remove the high cholesterol found in eggs. But recent research has shown that high cholesterol is seldom the byproduct for eating eat. Thus you can eat the whole egg.
Delete@ mr cheney
Deletedo people say its just the yolk?
not the whole egg? ( the transparent part).
my cousin always takes out the yolk and he says its for health issues.
Its not true. People who want to lower cholesterol want to limit its intake but it actually plays a minor part in human high cholesterol.
Deletebut its not that good if you have a lot of it right?
Deletei heard if you want to eat super healthy, you crack the egg and drink it all with the yolk atleast once a day, is this true
Delete2 a day is good, drink raw is not essential
Deletewould drinking raw have any difference?
Deleteas i was researching but not sure if it is true or not but poached eggs are good for you in a way but make your cholesterol high which is not good for you its best if you cholesterol level is normal
ReplyDeleteread what I wrote above in regards to cholesterol
Deletesome doctors recommend do not eat eggs why?
DeleteThis comment has been removed by the author.
Delete@ aqib
Deletemaybe its because of the calories, or they believe that you would get high cholesterol
Poached eggs are very healthy because your cooking all the nutrients in the egg without any fatty oil or butter to cook it with. Only water.
ReplyDeleteWhole wheat has changed a lot in this generation. The goal was to mass produce it so it could feed everyone; especially the hungry. Although in this process most of the nutritional benefits has been lost. It now is very hard to digest (weight gain) and doesn't have nearly as much nutrients.
Calories is the amount of energy food has.
Steel cut oats is one of (if not the) healthiest way to eat oats. It is the purest way to eat it, fresh of the blade. Steel cut oats also contain a high amount of protein and fiber.
Protein is a nutrient and it has many benefits including constructing your muscles to become bigger and stronger.
I think we should have a cooking class. Maybe it will inspire others to eat healthy.
Where did you find the information on wheat?
DeleteI got most of it from here; http://criticalmas.com/2011/09/wheat-belly-here-it-comes/ They mostly talked and refered to a novel called 'Wheat Belly' some things I found interesting were that wheat spikes your blood sugar up more than candy. It also has an insulin resistance factor and that causes obesity.
DeleteGreat find, and its also addictive.
DeleteYou must want to stop eating bread after discovering this.
Thanks, and yeah I don't want to eat bread any more knowing all this.
Deleteit really makes your blood sugar higher than candy!?!??!?!
Deletei eat bread about 2-4 days per week. so thats a big problem.
i went to the link you suggested and learned a lot like how wheat bread spikes your blood sugar more than ice cream
Deletei take bread every day to school with egg, so i will try to change that because bread is very unhealthy for you
Deletealso it sort of does get addicting, i never want to take anything to replace my wholewheat bread
DeleteIts pretty surprising because you wouldn't think its unhealthy.
DeleteSpectacular, Anything Else About Bread?
DeleteSpectacular Find Buttercup (TROLOLOLOLOLOLOL)
DeleteTheres more about bread and wheat here;
Deletehttp://criticalmas.com/2011/09/wheat-belly-here-it-comes/
yea true, i never knew untill now
DeleteOMG good job nicole this is crucial infromation for our health watch i apreciate the hardwork and dedication that youve done for the class's health
Deletei agree.
Deleteit seems perfectly fine. its surprising that its unhealthy.
My daily intake
ReplyDeleteBreakfast: I have warm milk with some raisins and cashews.
Lunch: I have something like a latte so I can get energized again.
Dinner: I have some salad with cucumbers and tamatoes on the side and then I usually have roti with a side dish or so.
Knowing that some materials for food can have harmful materials that are used to make the material itself this is why I decided to take action and tell my mom and dad the truth about the food we eat today.
I have a 1 hour workout daily at karate and it is pretty intense about everyday my muscles are aching when I went to karate the night earlier. So I'm not so sure about what I should change. The only thing I could think about changing is the amount of intake of food I take. Please leave your suggestions in the reply box.
And how do you make make poached eggs again I must try that recipe out.
Delete2 eggs with spinach
Deleteyou need much more protein!
Cottage Cheese
Apple spread with Almond Butter
how do you prepare poached eggs?
DeleteYou boil water then crack the egg into the water and you let it cook for like 3 minutes. Or you can do it in the mircorwave by putting water and a bit of vinegar if you want in a bowl then crack the egg in it. Cook it in the mircorwave until you hear poppong, stop it immediently or it'll be overcooked. Its kind of like an overeasy egg.
Deleteoh okay.
Deletethanks.
i think i already eat poached eggs. i do the microwave thing.
most information i read about whole wheat doesnt say that its not completely healthy any more.
ReplyDeleteit just says that whole wheat is a great type of food to eat.
then maybe it depends on the amount you eat
ReplyDeletethat could be, but i dont think thats the case.
DeleteDoes Anyone Have The L.A Questions For We All Fall Down? If You Do Can You Please Reply. Thanks!
ReplyDelete1.What do you think about John's (father) leadership qualities? give 5 words to describe it. Would u display the same characteristics in a pressure situation?
Delete2.Are people born leaders
3.Is will ever gonna use the whistle ? when and why?
4. What do you think the final thoughts are of the passengers on the 2nd flight that crashed in to the south tower? all that time they may not have been informed about the 1st tower but their flight path would have made it visible that the north tower was engulfed in flame
Thank You Very Much !
Deletegood initiative and great help
DeleteI want to do the cooking class, it sounds fun
ReplyDelete-Steel-cut oats are whole grain groats (the inner portion of the oat kernel) which have been cut into pieces.
-Steel-cut oats take longer to cook than instant or rolled oats due to their minimal processing, typically 15–30 minutes
-Steel-cut oatmeal is a far healthier option and it is a favorite of the whole family. So what sets these types of oats apart from the instant variety in the grocery stores? Steel cut oats are essential grains which are chock full of nutritional value, rich in B-vitamins, calcium, protein and fiber while low in sodium and unsaturated fat. In fact, just one cup of steel-cut oats contains 8 g of insoluble fiber.
Yeah i think it will be a good idea because when we had our cooking class's with Mrs.Ang it was a good bonding experience and instead of having burgers for lunch and other foods we ate "Healthy" with a little treat for a good 8 weeks or so and we learnt to cook and if we do it with You we can learn to cook much healthier
DeleteMr Cheney when is our trailer due?
ReplyDeleteI think that if we do have a cooking class, it will help us learn what is good for us. It can help us understand what goods and bad are. Also it would let us know some new recipe for us to share.
ReplyDeleteMr.Cheney can we learn how to do a full day meal ?
ReplyDeleteThis comment has been removed by the author.
DeleteI thinkk a full day for meals will be hard that would be like a 1-2 week thing since we have to prepare foods and buy groceries and stuff and then the different foods and what not so i hope we can do that
DeleteWe can go big and prepare a few meals.
DeleteWe will have to gather food, and cooking supplies.
@Mrcheney, the school used to have family studies right(which included cooking), so they probably had a few supplies which we can use.
Delete@ janat
Deletethere are lots of cooking things in mrs jardines room. there maybe a shortage of supplies considering its for the whole class.
but for cooking club we used all of the pots and pans from the room.
I heard that Frozen Yoghurt is good for you is this fact correct?
ReplyDeletei dont think it is too much. because in my house we have alot of that.and my sister is a nurse, and she said its not very good for you
Deletewhat about homemade Frozen Yoghurt I made it a couple of times.
Deleteit depends what type of yogurt it is.
Deletei think most frozen yogurt isnt that healthy.
it should be processed,
I think it matters if its sweetened or not,if its natural then its probably a lot healthier then with flavours because they add artificial things inside.
DeleteHave real Greek Yogurt instead
Deleteit would be processed**
Deletebut homemade yogurt should be very healthy.
especially if you also make the yogurt.
@ mr cheney
Deleteis that the most non-processed/healthy?
Real Greek yogurt has no catch to it like added preservatives or so right?
Deleteif you make yogort at home and put the fruits in it then it could be considered healthy. also if you add whip cream or any other thing other then yogort it could make it unhealthy
Deleteya the whipped cream would make it unhealthy, and we would lose the whole pooint about eating healthier.
Delete@ mr cheney
what is the best substitute for yogurt?
i hate yogurt.
Whole Wheat Bread 2 Slices = 190 Calories, 5G Fibre, 8G Protein, 300MG Sodium 2.5G Of Fat. It doesn't seem like there is much of a health benefit with whole wheat bread . Due to the fact that you gain so much calories by eating 2 slices of it .
ReplyDeleteWOW..
Deletei never knew whole wheat bread has almost as much calories as a candybar
that is a lot of calories!
Deleteand thats just bread. if you want some other things to make a sandwich, or pb and j, that even more! but it depends what you put in there.
Check out what Nicole posted
DeleteI've heard that a lot of sodium is very un-healthy for you. Is this true? If so whats so bad about it?
DeleteI think sodium's salt. And yes it is unhealthy for you. If you take too much you can get high blood pressure.
DeleteHere's how many calories are in 1 gram of each:
ReplyDelete~carbohydrate — 4 calories
~protein — 4 calories
~fat — 9 calories
our body needs calories for energy. But eating too many calories and not burning enough of them off by exercising/other can give you weight(fat).If a bag
of potato chips (about 20 chips) has 10 grams of fat, 90 calories are from fat.
10 grams of fat x 9 (calories per fat)
= 90 calories from fat
i like the idea of a cooking class in the morning
ReplyDeleteI think we should have a cooking class as not everyone can eat healthy. As Mr Cheney said it can cost a lot and it's hard to stick to it sometimes you wanna just stop because there is no change. Maybe this cooking class will help us realize that our goals are rewarded by effort, like the healthy life style thing.
ReplyDeleteTrue but most people are to lazy to do it or if they don't see results they decide to quit because they don't see changes.
DeleteIve Heard If You Drink Alot Of Water Its Easier Too Digest And get Rid Of Fat(Sorta Obvious) So If You Want to lose Weight Drink WATER And Alot OF It
ReplyDeleteDon't drink while you eat.
Deletebut lots of water flushes your system
I though drinking while you eat is good..why shouldn't you drink water while you eat?
DeleteYea drinking while you eat fills you up too just 2 cups of water before you eat then 1 after from what ive heard
Deletewhat do you mean by it flushes?
Deletecleans out your system
Deletelook it up. Drink before you eat, but not while you eat
Deletei think that we should have cooking classes it will help us as we will then get the view of having those meals day to day and give us a good feel of what were missing in our healthy lifestyle.
ReplyDeleteThat's very true.
Deletenot simply cooking, but lunch and snack preparation. Its not just about cooking, its about packing good lunches and making healthy snacks.
DeleteWhole Wheat
ReplyDelete-Refined grains are whole grains that have had the germ and the bran removed (examples include white rice, white flour, grits and cream of wheat). This results in a loss of fibre, vitamins and minerals. Some refined grains are enriched B that is, some of the lost minerals and vitamins are added back. In Canada, manufacturers are required to enrich white flour, resulting in a flour that is a significant source of several vitamins and iron. However, it still lacks some nutrients and the fibre found in whole grain flour.
-Whole grains are a source of fibre and are typically low in fat. A diet rich in whole grains has been shown to have a number of health benefits and may help reduce your risk of heart disease.

poached eggs-eggs tht aren't fully cooked the yolk is still soft, it simmers in water instead of oil because oil makes it oily and not healthy
ReplyDeleteI like the idea of cooking classes as well.
ReplyDeletecooking classes is a good idea.
ReplyDeletesteel cut oats-inner part of a oat kernel ct into peices packaged and sent out to stores and we buy it.1/4-cup serving of uncooked steel cut oats has 150 to 170 calories. Cooking these oats does not change the calorie content
ReplyDeleteMr Cheney, some people are vege too, so that would be a problem. In my count, only 2 people a vege. Will their be a substituent?
ReplyDeleteMost of the food I eat and would prepare is vegetarian
DeleteSubstitute* And yeah I eat a specific type of meat. Here it's reffered to as Kosher and Back home Halal, so are we gonna do anywork with any meat?
DeleteOkay. Do we have to buy the supply, or can we pay?
DeleteOh okay
DeleteI think it would be easier if we pay and then cheney can get the supplies.
DeleteWe can work out the shopping list in class, and I can do the shopping, we may need people to bring in pots and pans, especially poachers for eggs.
Deleteso we are working with meat though, right?
DeleteMeat is a great source of Protein, but not essential.
ReplyDeletemaking all veg meals is doable and very healthy
all simply highlight places to get essential protein.
so instead of meat, could you use beans?
Deletemost people believe that red meats are not healthy at all not just because of the way its usually prepared, is this entirely true?
Deletered and dark meat are not as healthy as chicken and fish
