Nutrition 101 provides an introduction to nutrition for Lifestyle Coaches, Community Health Workers, or others, who deliver evidenced based programs and do not have a background in nutrition science. This module, built around the USDA guidelines for Americans, introduces the learner to macro and micronutrients and their role in a healthy eating plan. The learning module also introduces the USDA MyPlate and the American Diabetes Association Diabetes Plate which are infused in many evidenced based health programs.

The module was designed for the self-paced learner with activities to reinforce learning and knowledge checks to ensure understanding. Nutrition 101 is a great resource to increase the knowledge and confidence of the learner in offering evidenced based programs that have a healthy eating component.
