Abstract
These lessons plans are intended to provide current, evidence-based nutrition education to high school students and equip high school health teachers with resources and support materials for successful implementation. In these lessons, students will learn about how to apply recommendations from the Dietary Guidelines for Americans and MyPlate to plan nutrient dense eating patterns, analyze their intake compared to Dietary Reference Intake values, utilize the information on food labels to make informed decisions as a consumer, create a commercial promoting a nutrient dense food, and partner with school nutrition staff to create a new menu item and promote selection of a particular food group offered during school lunch service. At the end of each lesson, there are reflection question to foster student discussion.
