EAT SMART, GET MOVING! Personal Wellness Contest!

The contest is open to all School Nutrition Association (SNA) Members. Teams may also include non-SNA members, but must have an SNA member as its leader.

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.

Information on forming teams and registering is available at www.eatsmart-getmoving.org, along with complete details, a downloadable program, tips on getting started and officials contest rules. No purchase necessary.

Michigan has two national winners in 2006-2007:
