Calories in Filipino Foods

Dr. Philip Chua's "Calories in Filipino Foods" tell us that people nowadays are more health conscious and that food plays a great impact in our health. That is why, we are also interested to know how much calories are contained in a certain portion of each food items we choose to eat. And the way he presents these ideas is very concrete and specific. He made use of specific numbers like in a 30-minute typing activity on a computer an average of 30 calories is burned. He was also very specific in giving information and facts. Instead of saying that by consuming a serve of dinuguan you will get 500 calories and by drinking a glass of beer you will get about 50 calories, he said that 1 cup dinuguan has 124 calories and an 11ounce of beer has 163 calories. Therefore, it is more concrete and specific. As well as in giving his examples he uses familiar, simple or ordinary situations and representations that make it easier for the readers to imagine concretely what he wants to convey. =)
