FRench

can someone translate this for me? TO FRENCH
I never liked playing sports because I preferred watching them, I was also not in shape and never had a balanced diet which was really bad for my age because it would lead to health problems, i would eat more than 4 meals a day.

Try posting your own attempt at a translation first, then I'm sure people will be happy to give feedback. :wink:

Je n'aimais jamais faire du sport, je préférais les regarder. Je n'étais pas non plus en pleine forme et je n'avais pas une régime équilibrée ce qui me faisait du mal, cela aurait pu mener à des problèmes de santé. Je mangeais plus que 4 repas par jour.

Improved version with explanation:
Je n’aimais jamais faire de sports car jepréférais les regarder. Aussi je n’étais pas en pleine forme, et ne mangeais jamais équilibré, ce qui était fort mauvais pour mon âge car cela mènerait à des problèmes de santé. Je mangeais plus de 4 repas par jour.

Not a bad attempt but a couple of improvements: it's plus de as it is followed by a number. Plus que is a comparison - je mange plus que lui, more than him. Me faire du mal means it harmed me. You have to understand the meaning of "would" - is it conditional or "used to" (imperfect).
