At ABC Libraries, we believe in good nutrition...a healthy body is the foundation for a healthy mind! Our catalog certainly boasts a diverse array of nutrition topics. A subject search under "Nutrition" reveals headings such as "Nutrition - Athletes", "Nutrition - Businesspeople", "Nutrition - Childrens Films", "Nutrition - Infants", & "Nutrition - Japan". You can browse the subject heading list, or try a keyword search, such as "nutrition pregnancy" or "nutrition weight loss", to find the nutritional guide that best suits your needs.

Late in February, just in time for National Nutrition Month, I discovered SuperTracker at https://www.choosemyplate.gov/SuperTracker/default.aspx, a fun new online tracking tool for your healthy eating, exercise and weight management goals.
You set your own goals, such as to eat more vegetables or reach a desired weight. Login is free and you can save and track your meals or your exercise or both. Easier than keeping a journal!
The Food Tracker shows you the nutritional information from your meals, and calculates how many calories your activities burn. You may be surprised (I was) to see how much sodium is in your food, even if you avoid salt.
Graphs clearly display your progress. It's a fun way to keep yourself accountable for healthy eating and exercise.
The tool can be used to track a single person or a whole family's progress.
