As always, very good information from Tufts Health & Nutrition Newsletter!
Just in time to help Americans keep their New Year’s diet and exercise resolutions, the USDA has released a new nutrition SuperTracker at the ChooseMyPlate.gov website. The free online tool highlights the second in a series of themed consumer messages supporting the MyPlate icon: “Enjoy Your Food, But Eat Less.”
SuperTracker lets consumers:
* Personalize recommendations for what and how much to eat and amount of physical activity.
* Track foods and physical activity from an expanded database of foods and physical activities.
* Customize features such as goal setting, virtual coaching, weight tracking and journaling.
* Measure progress with reports ranging from a simple meal summary to in-depth analysis of food groups and nutrient intake over time.
* Put the 2008 Physical Activity Guidelines into practice.
* Support family and friends by adding their individual profiles.
