The USDA Center for Nutrition Policy and Promotion, in conjunction with Team Nutrition, developed lesson plans for high school students using the engaging, interactive SuperTracker tool to help students think critically about their food and physical activity choices. SuperTracker is a visually appealing, comprehensive, state-of-the-art diet and physical activity tracking tool. Based on the Dietary Guidelines for Americans, this tool is designed to assist individuals as they make lifestyle changes to reduce the risk of chronic disease and maintain a healthy weight. Using this free, online tool, students can choose a variety of features to support nutrition and physical activity goals.

Curriculum Implementation Guidelines

Lessons can be taught as stand-alone lessons. The lesson plans are designed for high school Health, Physical Education, and Family and Consumer Science teachers; however, the resources provided allow any teacher to promote health and wellness in their classrooms, with or without experience in nutrition education.
