Web 2.0 Tool
A resource to help teachers create nutrition education materials based on the Dietary Guidelines that is relevant for students, children, adults and professionals.
Students can explore the five food groups and the MyPlate visual, learn about healthy eating styles, discover the importance of physical activity in everyday life, and take a closer look at portion distortion. Quizzes, handouts, and other pre-made lessons and activities are available on the site for teachers.
The most interactive component of the website is the SuperTracker, (http://www.choosemyplate.gov/tools-supertracker), which allows students to plan, analyze, and track their diet and physical activity. They can find out what and how much to eat; track foods, physical activities, and weight; and personalize with goal setting, virtual coaching, and journaling by creating their own profile.
