Abstract
This project aims to promote healthier lifestyles among residents at Bridgewell through the implementation of structured meal planning and calorie monitoring. By working directly with residents, particularly Rob, the project introduces healthier food substitutions such as using real mashed potatoes instead of powdered versions, ground turkey instead of beef, and adding vegetables to improve nutritional value while still keeping meals enjoyable. The project emphasizes portion control and encourages meal preparation as a strategy to prevent overeating. Progress is tracked through calorie data and weight monitoring, providing measurable evidence of improvement. By engaging residents in healthy cooking activities and making informed food choices, this initiative seeks to support long-term well-being and empower individuals to manage their diets independently.
