Introducing MyPlate Challenges!


Introducing MyPlate Challenges!

Interested in a little friendly competition? Check out SuperTracker’s new online challenge platform – MyPlate Challenges. MyPlate Challenges encourage healthy eating and physical activity
for SuperTracker groups. Anyone can create a SuperTracker group and invite others to join, e.g. teachers, parents, worksite wellness coordinators, or health professionals. Choose from a ready-made challenge or design your own custom challenge.

And in honor of National Nutrition Month, create a MyPlate, MyWins Challenge during March! It’s fun and simple:
  • Eat 2 foods from each MyPlate food group
  • Do 2 physical activities
  • For 2 days 
    Here’s how to get started:

  1. Create a SuperTracker group – Watch this video for a step-by-step tutorial.
  2. Invite others to join via email or with your group code at SuperTracker.usda.gov/join.
  3. Create a challenge for your group – Watch this video for a step-by-step tutorial.
  4. Participants use a challenge Quick Tracker to record their foods and physical activities during the challenge. They’ll earn points and get progress updates along the way.
  5. Check the challenge leaderboard to discover the winners!
  6. Check out the SuperTracker Groups & Challenges User Guide for more information.
