3
Respond

• How can you relate the way you would treat your
  dream car to how you should treat your body?

4
Key Words

• Nutrient-Rich (N-Rich) foods and beverages that
  have more nutrients and fewer calories.
• Sometimes Food foods that do not have enough
  nutrients to fit into a food group and are
  usually high in fat, added sugar, and calories.

5

8
Group Activity

• Divide Into Groups of 2
• Review the definitions of sometimes food and
  nutrient-rich foods.
• For each food group, mark one that you think is
  more N-Rich with a M and one that is less
  N-Rich with an L (do this for each sub category
  of meats and beans).
• Put an S on some foods in each category that
  you would consider a sometimes food.

9
Pyramid Plus Chart

• Handout Pyramid Plus Chart
• Students Take 4 -5 Min to Review Chart
• What do you notice?

10
Pyramid Plus Chart

• Foods listed in order of how nutrient-rich they
  are per calorie (most to least).
• Exception meats and beans listed from most to
  least within each sub category.
• Food lower on the lists give less nutrition per
  calorie compared to foods higher on the list. ALL
  have nutritional value and ALL are healthy
  choices.

  Rich group activity.
• Compare your answers with the pyramid plus chart.
• How well did you do?

12
Look Back Coin Activity

  provides a good source for the nutrients listed.

13
Discussion

• Which foods were more or less N-Rich than you
  thought? Did any foods surprise you?
• How is the nutrient-rich concept useful?
• In addition to eating N-Rich foods, you need to
  drink plenty of water. How much?

14
Food Challenge

  chart?

  substitute for your favorite food.

15
Key Concept Review

• Body needs good fuel, maintenance, and care, just
  as cars do.
• Pyramid Plus Chart show how to maximize nutrition
  for your calories.
• Good nutrition can include sometimes foods when
  eaten less often or in smaller portions.
• Most important thing is to eat a variety of
  foods, balance nutrition over several days, and
  enjoy eating.

16
