Replace SSB with H2O
Avoid the “whites”
Eat on a kid plate
Eat together at home
Take out or fast food 1/week
Shop on outside of grocery store
1 fruit, 1 veggie at every meal
For Picky Kids
• Chocolate milk increased calcium
• Presweetened cereals increased calcium,
folate, and iron
• SSB, sugars, sweets, and sweetened
grains had a negative impact
• More sugar consumed = fewer vegetables,
fruits, dairy, vitamin A, calcium, folate

training to practitioners that provide
nutrition-related services to
children and adolescents in health
and education settings.
