Energy Balance 4 Kids with Play

EnergyBalance4Kids

The Healthy Weight Commitment Foundation has partnered with the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics, Playworks and UC Berkeley (Atkins Center for Weight and Health) to implement and evaluate Energy Balance 4 Kids with Play (EB4K with Play), an evidenced-based program that promotes nutrition, physical activity, and energy balance knowledge and behavior changes in schools.

Pictures of happy active kids are worth a thousand words! See how EB4K with Play, RD Dietitian Coaches and Recess Coaches engage students in the classroom, PE, recess and in the cafeteria, before and after school. The goal of the Energy Balance 4 Kids with Play program is to create healthy habits for a lifetime by improving nutrition knowledge, encouraging more consumption of more fruits and vegetables and incorporating more activity into every day.
