Pizza or pasta? Steak, chicken or beans? Whole milk or 2%? This lively program focuses on teen nutrition and helps students understand the five biggest food mistakes made by most teenagers. Teenage on-camera hosts use MyPlate.gov to help students understand portion sizes and food group servings.
A nutrition expert demonstrates easy solutions to the five food mistakes:
~ Not eating enough fruits and vegetables
~ Not eating enough whole grain and lean protein
~ Eating too much salt
~ Eating too much sugar
~ Eating too much bad fat
Students learn how to read nutrition labels, how to shop for fresh produce, and how to prepare quick and healthy meals.
