    Default Healthy Eating Quiz

    I was browsing msn and came across this quiz. It says if you get above 5 you are more aware about your food choices than the average person. I got 8 and the two I got wrong are silly now I think about it. However when you see what the results are you will realise just how brainwashed the majority population is. At least msn got their facts right!

    Your score is: 7 out of 10. If your score is higher than 5.93, you are smarter than the average participant!
    I feel like a fraud though cause almost all of them were guesses lol

    I got 8/10 but, shame on me, I thought fish had more omegas than flax seeds. Glad I was wrong. The other one I got wrong was the salt one. I thought it would be 3g, not 6, cos they're always droning on about how bad salt is for you

    i stopped taking the quiz when they started asking about fats in animals and fishes.

    those arent edible things

    and they call it a "healthy EATING quiz"

    I got 8 out of 10. I must know more about healthy eating in theory than I realised.
    (It might help if I actually applied this knowledge to my eating habits.)

    I got 8/10. Also thought oranges had the most Vit C and that carbs should provide 80% of our nutritional needs! Obviously forgot about fruit and veg there...

    I only got 6 out of 10.

    The ones I got wrong: the tea question, I thought Oolong tea burns fat because I drink it all the time and my metabolism is pretty fast.

    What really threw me was the percentage of carbs ... when I was a raw foodist, I ate according to the 80-10-10 plan (80 percent carbs, which is fruit, 10 percent fats and 10 percent protein) -- I had a ton of energy, but lost too much weight ... however some folks swear by that plan ... I BELIEVE in healthy carbs, big time!

    EDIT: re: salt ... I'm not good at math, does anyone know how many milligrams make up a gram?

    I got 6, but disagree with the amount of carb you should have in your diet - surely it should be more than 50% ?
    Salt, turkey & oranges - sprouts may be naturally have more vit C but because of the way they are normally cooked & how easily Vit C is denatured, I still think oranges *would* provide more per 100g.

    I'm ready to stand corrected by people in this forum but don't have much faith in this sort of quiz.

    Well it's just a standard run of the mill omni quiz. As for the denaturing of vitamin C - I think it means total as fresh if you know what I mean?

    I have to admit thought that I guessed on the water question. I just drink a glass of water with each meal, and then drink some in between. I am very bad with grasping what a litre actually is, or any other unit for that matter (mile, kilometer, ounce, etc.), though I am good with manipulating them in equations.

    I got a 6/10. Missed the salt one, vitamin C, water (didn't know it in liters), and the meat one. I had no idea on the meat--didn't even know pork and turkey were considered white meats (lifelong veggie). lol.

    went for 80% carbs not 50 (sure the fifty is an absolute minimum though, you know like the five a day where it should be more but they think most would find it unachievable and go with a lower figure)

    The salt question is very wrong. The new recommended sodium intake is 1500mg, which would equate to about 3000mg for salt intake. They really should fix that..

    more like 4.5g of salt sodium is about a third of salt rather than half

    I think the RDA levels here are still the same. Just that 1.5g of sodium is about the same amount of sodium you find in 4.5g of table salt.

    Well, I guessed a lot, and not being able to see, I wasn't able to ascertain for sure which ones I'd gotten wrong, I hadta work it out by reading the thread afterwards? (because they had different colour backgrounds, didn't they? sommit like that anyways?) I know I got the vit c one wrong, and the omega one, I put fish, but I'm not sure which other one I got wrong? Possibly the carbes? Either way, not bad, for a wrinkly, and only a 4-month vegan! lol!
