Health Educator's Nutrition Toolkit: Setting the Table for Healthy Eating

This toolkit provides resources that can help consumers understand the new Nutrition Facts label and how to use the information it provides to make informed food choices. It also provides resources that offer realistic tips on how to shop, prepare, and order food when eating out to build a healthy diet. The toolkit includes:

• An introductory guide about how to use the toolkit
• Four handouts with information that can be printed (includes one wallet card)
• A PowerPoint presentation, including notes
• Pre- and post- tests for use with the presentation
• An infographic with tips on using the label and MyPlate
• Sample social media posts with nutrition education messages and graphics

Additional nutrition education resources and materials can be used in conjunction with the toolkit, including those for restaurant and other food establishment menu labeling.
