Military Nutrition Self Assessment

Military Nutrition Self Assessment

The Military Nutrition Self-Assessment (MNSA) Workbook aims to provide a self-guided resource for Service Members who want to assess their current nutrition practices, identify areas for improvement, and set valuable and attainable goals to reach desired outcomes.

The MNSA Detailed Nutrition Analysis is a comprehensive and in-depth exploration for those seeking a detailed plan to optimize nutritional fitness. This pathway includes in-depth assessments, measurements, and calculations, allowing you to dial in on the details as you progress toward your goals. 

This is a great option if you:

  • Are ready to dive deeper into your nutrition, health, and performance strategies
  • Have some experience with nutrition, or are willing to spend time to learn new nutrition related skills
  • Already track your food intake on commonly used apps
  • Enjoy detailed planning, tracking progress, and fine-tuning your approach for long-term success
