Course Description

Many of us want to have a balanced diet of healthy foods. But even when we know what kinds of foods are best for us, there are lots of factors that can still keep us from following through with nutrition principles, such as having limited time or budget to shop for and prepare healthy meals. Learn how to evaluate food items at the grocery store so that, over time, selecting healthy options becomes a habit.


In this self-directed course, you’ll learn what to look for when buying healthy foods, as well as some strategies for meal planning and grocery shopping, through concise content and beautiful illustrations. This course culminates in a 10-question final assessment.


Nutrition: Planning & Selecting Healthy Foods is the fourth module in the Everyday Wellbeing series from Maestro, a 10-course curriculum that teaches you the well-rounded habits that make up a healthy lifestyle, including hydration, nutrition, exercise, and sleep. Everyday Wellbeing introduces the basic science of these wellness principles and provides clear strategies for how to integrate them into your life right now.
