The Military Nutrition Environment Tool (mNEAT) is available as a web-based app. The app version allows for better accuracy when entering and calculating scores, generates a detailed report of scores, and stores results year-to-year. The mNEAT app is housed at the Uniformed Services University (USU), and you can easily access it with your CAC or a username and password.
If you’re interested in conducting an mNEAT assessment on your local installation or ship or reviewing scores, follow the directions below to create your mNEAT account.
