The Exercise Your Options (EYO) programme was designed to help middle school students make healthy food and activity choices on a daily basis. The following are intended student outcomes for EYO: (1) Students will recognise that they are unique and will apply their individual perspective to the decisions they make every day that influence their health, specifically their food and activity choices. (2) Students will organise and analyse their food choices and make a personal plan for improvement utilising the Food Guide Pyramid. (3) Students will identify the connection between physical activity, food choices, and good health and then make a plan to include activity in their choices each day. The overall results of this study indicate that students who complete the EYO programme reported changes in their food consumption that were consistent with the goals of the EYO program. These results suggest that the EYO programme was effective in changing students reported food use.
