The Horse 2019/20

Hello together,

I would like to share my experience with you, which I made within a week with the KoBo Toolbox food app.
I think the app is very simple and doesn't have too many fields to fill out, which some might find annoying.
My biggest difficulty was to remember to take a picture before each meal and enter the data accordingly. Often I only thought about it after I had eaten. A reminder on my smartphone would have helped me.
I am looking forward to the results.

Hello everyone!

I would like to share with you my experience with the food app on KoBo Toolbox.

Our exercise is to register every food we eat during the day for one week in this food app.

On my view, the food app is very easy to understand and it is also clearly arranged.

To register every food I eat during the day is for me a little bit time-consuming. It is difficult, because I do not have much time beside work, school, music, and my horse.

However, even if it is time-consuming, I think it will be very interesting to evaluate the data we registered. I also think, we will have a good base for our projects and because of that, I will try to register as much as I can.

What if you could eat the packaging off your food instead of throw it into the bin?

Some startup companies are on a good way to invent new technologies to wrap our food into edible foils or packaging. That is inspiring, isn't it?

Check out following links:

According to the web app KoBo Toolbox it is possible to analyze the eating habits all over the world and compare them across the different countries.

Our idea is to proceed with the output of analysis and find the most efficient way to counteract and therefore protect the environment (e.g decrease meat consumption, put fishing restrictions in place,...). The analyzes could be used as a first step into a bright future not only for us but also for the next generations.

With the data from the app we could find out:

• How many animal products are consumed
• How many milk products are consume
• Which countries consume the most meat
• How much local food is consumed
• How much global food is consumed
• Is the food mostly organic or not organic
• How different are the food habits of females and males
• How different are the eating habits between the countries
• What is the most consumed food

We have some improvement ideas:

• There should be a box where you can choose if you eat breakfast, lunch, dinner, or snack.
•  You should be able to choose your gender. with this extra data we could also make researches of the different eating habits from women and man

The task was to think about possible ideas for a Project about our food consumption. We thought that the following ideas would be very interesting:

- Diffrences between the eating habits of the cultures (mealtimes)
- Who is eating the most fastfood and who is eating healthy?
- Which culture eats seasonal and organic?
- Is the most consumed Food either global or local?
- How much meat is consumed in one day?
- Which kind of meat is the most consumed?
- How many meals are vegetarian?

We are looking forward to the projects!

Our task was to take a closer look at a daily meal and to calculate: kcal, kJ and kWh.

I was in Asia and tried Dumplings. 1 dumpling is around 100g and has:

521 kcal

2181 kJ

0.605923 kWh

Additionally, I had 1 Glass around 200ml of coca cola, the calories are mentioned below:

84 kcal

360 kJ

0.41868 kWh

It was very fascinating to see how much calories we eat during one day. Of course, it is hard to say how much calories the dumplings have, because they were hand made.

I made the calculations with the following link:

For our homework we had the task to list what we ate and calculate the kj to kwh.

Because I know how hard it is to lose weight after gaining it (yes, eating is much funnier;) ), I listed up some meals within one day. To show others and specially myself, that everyone can reach his goals if one is willing to.

I invite you to take a look on my little chart here:

Our task was to calculate how much energy is in our food (kcal, kJ and kWh). I thought I would capture my brunch that I had on sunday. There are many different things so I thought this would be interesting.

What did I eat?

Egg - Tomato - Chillie - Sauce 120 kcal, 502 kJ, 0.1395 kWh

Hummus, 82kcal, 343 kJ, 0.09536 kWh, 

Olives, 71 kcal,301 kJ, 0.08257 kWh 

Tomato -cucumber -feta Salad, 75 kcal, 314 kJ, 0.087225 kWh

fruit salad, 26 kcal, 108 kJ, 0.03023 kWh

organic greek yogurt, 65 kcal, 272 kJ, 0.07559 kWh

whole grain bread, 52 kcal, 217 kJ, 0.060476 kWh

In total the food had 491 kcal, 2055 kJ, 0.571033 kWh

The food was very delicious and healthy, everything was homemade! If you want to eat good and fresh breakfast / brunch I would recommend the café bebek in Zurich. The food is mostly organic and local. Here the link so you can get a little taste http://bebek.ch/entry/ .

If you are interestet in power food here is a good article where you can see which food gives you a lot of energy.

Here is the calculator that I used:

https://www.unitjuggler.com/energy-umwandeln-von-kcal-nach-kWh.html?val=120

Our task was to take a closer look at a daily meal and to show the following three units of measurement: kcal, kJ and kWh.

On weekends I like to go out for breakfast.
So I took this as an example.

croissants: 171 kcal / 715.464 kJ / 0.19874 kWh

1/2 baguette: 149 kcal / 623.416 kJ / 0.1731711111 kWh

50g jam: 72 kcal / 301.248 kJ / 0.08368 kWh

3dl orange juice: 135 kcal / 564.84 kJ / 0.1569 kWh

For my calculations from kcal into kJ and kWh I used this online calculator, which is quite good in my opinion.
