Nutrition <strong>Math</strong> Projects<br />
Nutrition is an important part of our everyday life. Here are some projects on nutrition<br />
that you might think about doing on your own or with your class.<br />
1. Develop a week-long meal plan that is nutritionally balanced for you or for your<br />
family. Use the NWT Food Guide as a guide for planning your meals. You can<br />
download a copy of the NWT Food Guide from<br />
http://www.hlthss.gov.nt.ca/pdf/brochures_and_fact_sheets/healthy_eating_and_act<br />
ive_living/2005/english/nwt_food_guide.pdf<br />
2. Team up with the Community Health Representative in your community and<br />
develop a workshop on calorie intake and BMI. Offer the workshop to children and<br />
teens at the local school. You can ask them to figure out how many calories they<br />
should be eating and hand out the BMI chart.<br />
3. Make a poster for the community on calorie intake and BMI. Put it up around town<br />
for people to read.<br />
4. Keep a food diary of all the food you eat in one week including quantity. Research<br />
on the Internet how many calories are in each food that you ate. Calculate how<br />
many calories you ate in one week and compare it to how many calories you should<br />
be eating.<br />
5. Compare nutrition food labels and make a list of what foods are better to eat. For<br />
example you could compare two different kinds of pizzas from the local store.<br />
Compare the calories, fat and fiber. Give a presentation to your class on which<br />
foods are better than others.<br />
