Keep Track of What You Eat
Keep Track of What You Eat
The learner will use a copy of My Food Guide Servings Tracker to keep track of all of the foods and drinks they consume in one day. The learner will then compare what they consumed with the recommendations from Eating Well with Canada's Food Guide.
- My Food Guide Servings Tracker (Google “My Food Guide Servings Tracker” , select appropriate guide according to age range and sex of learner , and print off a PDF copy for learner)
- Canada’s Food Guide should also be printed off to give the learner a better background understanding of food groups. (Google “Eating Well with Canada’s Food Guide”. Then download the PDF version and print a copy for the learner. You may also order print copies from Health Canada.)
