The Personal Nutrition Planner is a quick, nutritional-assessment tool that provides food and calorie recommendations based on your age, gender and activity level. You will learn your current Body Mass Index (BMI) and total calorie expenditure, as well as the number of servings needed from each food group.

You can also find out how the various nutrients in foods benefit your health. The Personal Nutrition Planner is integrated with the Meals Matter Pantry to help you shop for healthy foods at the grocery store.

The uniqueness of the Personal Nutrition Planner is in the goal-planning section. The goal planner helps you develop a food and activity plan based on a personal health goal. The plan is saved on the Meals Matter “My Home” page. You can then return to your plan and revise your action steps as needed. You can also opt for four follow-up emails that provide helpful tips for achieving a healthy lifestyle.  

The tool was developed by registered dietitians, is free of charge and only takes minutes to complete. Try the Personal Nutrition Planner today and develop a plan to improve your health!
