Importance of clean nutrition

This project should be assigned to take about a week and a half to two weeks. High schoolers will benefit the most from this because they are at the ripe age where they will establish patterns that they may follow for the rest of their lives. Our job as teachers is to ensure that they make healthy patterns and habits that will increase their quality of life as much as possible. Specifically, they will be able to better choose foods that will help them accomplish their daily tasks and reach long terms goals better than if they did not learn this. By understanding the four macronutrients students will now have the knowledge to make healthy decisions.
