Activity: Vegetables I ate
• Think about the vegetables you ate
for all the meals and snack
yesterday.
• Measure the total amount.
• Write the total number of cups on
worksheet.
Worksheet
Activity: Making it work
• Compare the total amounts of vegetables to the
total amount needed each day: 2 ½ - 3 cups.
• Did you have more than one kind of vegetable?
• What are some ways to increase the amount and
variety of vegetables ?
Activity: Making it work
Parents are role models for their children. Children
learn more from what their parents do than from
what they say.
• How can parents set a good example on eating
vegetables and fruits?
• Any tips on how to get a child to eat more
vegetables and fruits?
Activity: Create a meal
Activity: Juice comparison
• Read the “% juice” from the label and the first
ingredient on the ingredient list.
• If a product does not say 100% fruit juice, it is most
likely water plus added sugar and artificial flavors
and colors.
• Who has 100% juice? If you don’t have 100% juice,
share the % and read the first three ingredients.
Activity: Juice comparison
• Many colored beverages that look like juice are
mostly water plus sugar and artificial flavors and
colors. One way to find out is to look at the
ingredient label.
• On the ingredient list, the ingredient that weighs
the most is listed first.
• All sweetened beverages and juice drinks must list
the percent fruit juice in the drink.
Activity: Juice comparison
• Always offer children fruit instead of juice whenever possible.
Fruit has more nutritional benefits.
Activity: Juice comparison
• Fruit snacks like fruit leather often have very little
fruit. They often have a lot of sugar or high fructose
corn syrup.
• Always read the ingredient list to be sure.

Cut back on sodium and empty calories from solid
fats and added sugars.
• Drink water instead of sugary drinks.
• Eat sugary desserts less often.
• Make foods that are high in solid fats- such as cakes, cookies, ice
cream, pizza, cheese, sausages, and hot dogs- occasional choices, not
every day foods.
• Limit empty calories to less than 260 a day based on a 2000 calorie a
day diet.
Be physically active your way
• Pick activities you like and do each for at least 10 minutes at
a time.
• Every bit adds up, and health benefits increase as you spend
more time being active.
Children and adolescents: get 60 minutes a day or more a day.
Adults: get 2 hours and 30 minutes or more a week of activity
that requires moderate effort, such as brisk walking.
Remember:
Drink water any time.
