++ While 3 eggs are equivalent in protein content to other items listed under the meat and alternatives group, egg yolks are high in cholesterol. Thus, eat no more than 4 egg yolks per week.
For Day 1, I obviously didn't have enough servings for each of the categories, except for fats, oil, sugar and salt, since I consumed a lot of unhealthy food like hamburger, cake and potato chips. Even though those food are rather nice to eat, they are really bad for your body, so I should cut down on those food. I feel like most of the food I consumed on Day 1 do not fit into any of the categories besides fats, oil, sugar and salt.
For Day 2, the cocktail sausages consumed for breakfast should give around 1-2 servings of meat and alternatives. A variety of fruits eaten throughout the day gives me 3 servings of fruits and the veggies for dinner make up 2 servings of vegetables, which is good! :) As for rice and alternatives, I only had 2 servings, so perhaps I could have my breakfast of cocktail sausages together with bread or cornflakes.
For Day 3, I think it is rather big improvement from the previous 2 days. For the vegetable dumpling, it was home cooked by my grandmother and she put a lot of veggies in so I think that should fulfill the 2 servings of vegetables. The 2 slices of watermelon also fit into the 2 serving of fruits nicely :) The beef ramen from a restaurant gives me around 3 serving of rice and alternatives as well as 1 serving of meat and alternatives.
