Contest is open to all School Nutrition Association (SNA) Members. Teams may also include non-SNA members.
1. Contest Overview:
The program focuses on energy balance between food and physical activity to help one reach and maintain personal wellness. Eat Smart, Get Moving! is designed to allow teams to work together, tracking physical activity and food choices as "points". The program is organized into three phases with progressive nutrition and physical activity goals that will lead individuals and teams toward meeting key recommendations in the Dietary Guidelines for Americans – such as getting enough dairy, fruits and vegetables and whole grains. The team's points are calculated by averaging the points that each individual team member earns by meeting the specified goals of each of the three phases. These points translate into miles to help each team move from Chicago to Philadelphia. Along the way, teams can download resources from the Eat Smart, Get Moving! Website — http://www.EatSmart-GetMoving.org — to help them on the journey to personal wellness.
