The final step for today’s lesson on snacks will be to take this assessment. We’ve chosen just four areas from the American Heart Association’s Suggested Servings for each food group to assess your current diet. The assessment is four short questions asking about the average number of servings you eat of certain food groups. Take your time to think about how you are doing in each area. The primary purpose of this assessment is to show you where you are currently so you can set goals to be successful in each area.
