Today is March 1st and we are starting National Nutrition Month!This year's theme decided by the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics is "Enjoy the Taste of Eating Right".
Being so, I prepared a little treat for my dearest nutrinutters and every day, for the month of March, I will post a nutrition tip.
Today I wanted to start with a little game I found in the eatright.org website...it is called Rate Your Plate. I thought it would be fun to start of with this to get everyone in the nutrition mood :)
The idea is to answer the questions below and add up your score to know how you are eating! Want to give it a go???
Do you... Most Days Sometimes Never
(2 pts) (1 pt) (0 pt)
1- Consider nutrition when making food choices?
2- Avoid skipping meals?
3- Include 3 or more whole grain foods daily?
4- Eat at least 2 1/2 cups of veggies per day?
5- Vary veggies with dark green and orange varieties?
6- Eat at least 2 cups of fruit daily?
7- Get 3 cups of low-fat/ fat-free milk or yogurt?
8- Choose lean meats and poultry?
9- Vary protein with more fish, beans and nuts?
10- Limit saturated fat and trans fat?
If your points added up to:
16-20 points - Healthy eating seems to be your habit already
10-15 points - You're on track! A few easy changes will make your total eating plan healthier
0-9 points - Sometimes you may eat smart. For good health, add more smart choices to your eating
So how did you do?
Come celebrate with me Nutrition month and stay tuned for the daily nutrition tips ;)
XOXO
