The MiPlato FIT flashcards represent an upgraded version of the original MiPlato, emphasizing healthy eating and balanced diets. This educational game aims to enhance nutrition education through interactive methods. Recognizing that food calorie intake and physical activity profoundly impact energy balance, this upgraded version introduces a novel element: guidance on performing simple exercises to reduce calorie consumption. Given the prevalent lack of awareness about calorie counting and effective calorie reduction methods, the game prompts participants to strategically place low-calorie food cards and priorities physical activity cards indicating calorie expenditure. Additionally, participants engage in 30 seconds exercises with the correct technique. Given Malaysia's elevated obesity rates in Asia, utilizing MiPlato FIT flashcards could potentially enhance nutrition education and promoting the significance of exercise in calorie reduction.
