SuperTracker Retires

Jan 30

We received this press release from the USDA MyPlate team for all health professionals. The MyPlate team is going to retire SuperTracker in summer of this year (2018). We recommend using https://www.myfitnesspal.com/

As MyPlate ambassadors that frequently use, or help to promote, USDA’s SuperTracker, we are writing to inform you that SuperTracker will be discontinued on June 30, 2018. This includes the Challenges and Groups, Food-a-Pedia, the Body Weight Planner, and the electronic versions of the President’s Champions and Presidential Active Lifestyle Award (PALA+) programs. When SuperTracker first launched in 2011, it was one of the first free tools available for diet tracking. Since that time, the private sector has launched many great tools with a shared mission. It is time for us to discontinue SuperTracker so that we can invest in more modern and efficient ways to help Americans find a healthy eating style that is right for them.

Over the coming months, we will provide periodic updates to help users transition to using new tools. Please visit ChooseMyPlate.govhttp://www.choosemyplate.gov for additional resources to help find and maintain a healthy eating style.

We have enjoyed providing this service to 27 million users over the past 6 years, and reading success stories from all over the country. Thank you for all you do to help Americans find their MyPlate, MyWins.

Sincerely,

The USDA MyPlate Team

Judy Doherty, MPS, PCII

Judy Doherty, MPS, PCII discovered her love of cooking at her grandmother's side, stirring raisin oatmeal on a Saturday morning. By 15 she had her first food service job. At 18 she was accepted to the Culinary Institute of America, where she graduated second in her class, then went on to the Fachschule Richemont in Switzerland to study pastry arts and baking. A decade with Hyatt Hotels followed before she founded Food and Health Communications with a single conviction: food that is good for you should taste extraordinary.

Judy holds a Master of Professional Studies in Food Business from the Culinary Institute of America, a Bachelor of Science in Culinary Arts from Johnson and Wales University (Summa Cum Laude), two art certificates from UC Berkeley Extension, and the CIA's Pro Chef II certification. She has earned the American Culinary Federation Bronze Medal, Gold Medal, and ACF Chef of the Year award.

Today she develops every recipe on this site, shoots and styles food through her food photography and motion studio, and publishes nutrition education materials for dietitians, schools, extension offices, and health professionals through nutritioneducationstore.com. She uses the latest nutritional science and Dietary Guidelines to drive her creativity — whether that means a new twist on fajitas or Italian brownies made with toasted nuts and cooked honey. Her mission has never changed: help everyone make food that tastes as good as it is for them.
