ChooseMyPlate.gov

ChooseMyPlate.gov
Last year, choosemyplate.gov received a facelift and is now sporting a fresh modern design, with new desktop, tablet, and mobile versions.  New features include an interactive MyPlate on the homepage for quick access to information about the five food groups; website organization by audience; social media sharing; and a series of new interactive quizzes.  Visitors can now submit testimonials (“MyPlate, MyWins”) to share their MyPlate success stories with others.
The newly release MyPlate Mini Poster is a colorful quick guide that provides tips from each of the five food groups, as well as ways to cut back on calories from added sugars, saturated fats, and sodium.  Print yours today at http://www.choosemyplate.gov/sites/default/files/printablematerials/mini_poster.pdf.
SuperTracker Groups and Challenges
SuperTracker is a free food, physical activity, and weight tracking tool.  It provides nutrition recommendations based on the 2015-2020 Dietary Guidelines for Americans that are personalized for your specific needs. The Groups and Challenges feature, added this year, allows groups of people use SuperTracker together for added motivation.  Group leaders can also create a challenge to encourage healthy eating and physical activity through friendly competition and gamification.
