My Meal Matrix

My Meal Matrix (M3) is an engaging FREE app designed to motivate Ontario high school students to reflect on and improve their eating habits. Using M3, students can
- Electronically record their food intake
- Review their food record assessment based on Canadian healthy-eating recommendations
- Set and track a relevant goal to improve their eating habits

Teachers: students can use the M3 app only if their teacher has registered their class – the app is designed to supplement the full online student tool. The M3 app also
- Addresses influences on eating behaviours
- Offers text or email reminders to help students stay on track
- Provides reflection opportunities to support relevance and engagement
- Has a peer-to-peer learning feature
- Uses a Canadian food database and Canadian healthy-eating guidelines
- Provides backgrounders on relevant healthy-eating topics
- Meets a variety of curriculum expectations and provides opportunities for student assessment

Teachers need to register for My Meal Matrix before their students can access the M3 app. A short online tutorial provides teachers with all they need to easily use and integrate this skill-building tool into existing lesson plans to meet a variety of curriculum expectations.
