How Healthy Are Your Eating Habits? |
When nutritionists evaluate the eating habits of new clients, they try to get a handle on three different factors: when clients eat, what they eat, and how they eat.
With that in mind, take the following test to find out more about your own eating habits... and how healthy of an eater you really are.
When you have finished and have gotten your own results, be sure to use the spaces provided at the end to forward on to your friends -- and have fun guessing what their results will be! This informative, free quiz will then automatically be sent to them and, after they take it, you'll learn if your guess was right or wrong!
