Some awesome apps for teaching nutrition to students.

There are some great apps for helping students with eating and nutrition. Many of these apps have IOS and Android apps.  You are only limited by your imagination.  Have students bring in a bunch of their favorite snacks and scan them with the fooducate app, or maybe have them track their exercise and intake using the Lose It app. Here are a few to get you started:

Diary Ping Allows you to find out where your milk comes from. It's great teaching students that milk does not come from a bottle, and finding out if it is locally produced.

Lose It! is a simple app with the concept of calories in and calories out.  It combines nutrition and exercise.
