SWU 351 Final Exam: Healthy Meal Planning on a Budget Prof. Lisa Schmidt Worth: 29 points Your Information Student Name: Signature: Date Submitted: Time Submitted: Instructions This final examination is an opportunity for you to demonstrate learning from the course, integrating concepts of healthful & mindful eating as well as buying food on a budget. It is a misconception that healthy eating is expensive. In fact, students report in their weekly Mindful Reflection Journals that they have been able to construct healthy meals for affordable costs. This midterm exam will allow you to demonstrate that you understand and can integrate the concepts of healthy meal planning and preparation on a budget. You will choose a budget amount for three days of meals. The budget can be any amount that is appropriate for you. Once you determine your budget, you will shop for, prepare, and eat three days’ worth of healthy meals. You will verify the cost of your food items either through copies of store receipts or pictures of price tags/store shelf pricing. In other words, you must demonstrate that your three days worth of food aligns with your chosen budget. Another component of this midterm is to demonstrate where in the store you purchased your food. You will draw or construct a supermarket shopping map, identifying in which locations your foods were located. Here is an example of a supermarket shopping map: Feel free to design your own, download something from the internet, or draw one. If you download from the internet, make sure you cite the image that you use.
