Eating well and being active will not only help uslook good and feel better, but will also give us the energy weneed to get through our busy days.

Whether your meeting lasts a few hours or a few days, MeetingWell has been designed to make it easier for meeting participantsto eat well and be active. Utilizing Meeting Well means thathealthy food choices will always be available. What it doesn’tmean is that all foods high in fat and sugar need to be completely

eliminated from the menus you plan. The ideasand tips included in this reference book will help

your organization provide meeting attendeeswith a variety of food choices that can helpthem achieve a healthy balance throughout the

stay active throughout the meeting’sduration. Activities can include

games, dancing, group walksbefore the meeting, walksto dinner, or stretching

at breaks.

Using Meeting Well is just one way your company can demonstrate its commitment to the good health of youremployees. Consider establishing policies that make healthy foods and opportunities forphysical activity available to your employees. By usingMeeting Well, ensuring that healthy vending and cafeteria items are available, and encouraging exercisebreaks throughout the day, you’re sending a key messageto your employees: “We care about you and your health,and we’re committed to helping you down the road to ahealthier life.”

Making the ConnectionBetween Food and Mood

If you’ve experienced drowsiness after eating a bagel forbreakfast or a bowl of pasta for lunch, you know that thefoods we eat affect how we feel. Within two to threehours after consuming high-carbohydrate foods, wetend to feel tired. On the other hand, consuming foodsthat are high in protein helps us feel more alert and ableto concentrate.

To reduce food fatigue, plan to serve proteins along withcarbohydrates. To achieve this, try the following tips:

1. Offer low-fat protein options throughout the day, especially at lunch. Consider these examples:

• Cereal with low-fat yogurt at breakfast

• Grilled chicken salad at lunch

• Seafood and pasta for dinner

3

High-CarbohydrateFoods

High-carbfoods canmake us feelfatigued afterconsumption.To reduce thiseffect, offerfoods thatalso provideprotein.

High-CarbFoods: • Cereals• Breads• Pasta• Rice,

couscous,and othergrains

• Potatoes• Popcorn• Crackers• Chocolate• Cookies• Other sweets

High-Protein Foods

High-protein foods can help boost energy levels, keeping individuals more alert. To give them an added boost, select these protein options that are low in fat:

High-Protein Foods:• Shellfish and fish • Lean beef• Chicken • Skim milk• Turkey • Low-fat or• Lean ham or fat-free yogurt

pork tenderloin • Cheese• Beans and peas

4

2. Try to avoid serving only high-carbohydrate foods, especiallyduring breaks. Consider these examples:

Although the foods you serve are an important component of keeping your participants alert, enthused, and energizedthroughout meetings, they are only one piece of the healthpuzzle. Providing the right combination of foods and including physical activity completes the puzzle. To assist your organization with ideas for incorporating physical activity into your meetings, refer to the section titled “ActionPacked Meetings” included within this resource.

Instead of:

Popcorn and pretzels

Tortilla chips and salsa

Crackers

Cookies and brownies

Try:

Popcorn and nuts

Tortilla chips, salsa, and bean dip

Crackers and cheese

Brownies and fresh berries

Multiple Day Meetings

If your meeting or conference is scheduled to lastfor more than one day, expect that you will be

working with a caterer or a hotel chef to plan mealsand snacks. It is likely that where your meeting or

event will take place has pre-set menus to choose foodfrom. Although you can suggest alternatives to their menu

items, it is possible that there will be a fee for these requests.To avoid additional fees, work with what they have but discusswith them ways to have healthy options available throughoutthe meeting. Be certain to stress that you do not want to havethe same foods served to the participants over and over again(after all, you can only eat so much chicken).

Consider these requests as you meet with caterers and chefs:

• Ask that fruits and vegetables be served with every meal andbreak (if you do decide to have food at breaks).

• Ask that whole-grain cereals, breads, rice, and pasta be usedwhenever possible.

• Ask for smaller portion sizes of foods like bagels and muffins.

• Ask that fresh fruits are always available as a dessert option.

• Ask that other desserts be garnished with fresh fruit (berries gowith just about anything!) and that they be in smaller portions.

• Ask that sauces for vegetables, grains, and meats always beserved on the side.

• Ask that high-fat salad ingredients – dressings, cheese, croutons, bacon bits – be served on the side.

• Ask for ways calories can be reduced in their menu: using low-fat ingredients, adding less sugar, and preparing foods usinglower fat cooking methods (baked or broiled instead of fried).

10,000 Steps Per Day…A Step in the Right DirectionPedometers are an excellent tool for motivating your participants to step towardbetter health. This device is designed to countthe number of steps a person takes, trackingprogress of physical activity goals.

Achieving a daily goal of 10,000 steps is equivalent to walkingabout five miles. By simply carrying out typical daily activities, mostpeople average between 4,000 and 6,000 steps per day. Attaining10,000 steps per day requires a little more effort, especially whensitting takes up the majority of time spent at meetings. To helpindividuals acquire those additional steps, try the following:

• Recommend participants take the stairs instead of the elevator

• Organize a walking group in the morning or when you break for dinner

• Arrange for an early morning fitness class

• Encourage people to walk during meeting breaks, or play musicinstead to inspire dancing

• If possible, walk to dinner or other forms of entertainment

Action-Packed Meetings

“Active” is probably the last word that comes to mind whenpeople think of meetings. Sitting and listening to presenterssession after session, day after day, can make your participantsrestless, make it harder for them to pay attention, and leavethem feeling drained at the end. Whether you have a meetingscheduled for one full day or one that lasts multiple days,incorporating activities that encourage people to get up andmove should be part of your meeting agenda.

Use these tips on the next pages to infuse activity (and energy!)into your meetings. Participants who are currently active on aregular basis will appreciate the opportunity to keep up theirlevel of activity while attending the meeting. Those who arenot regularly active will be able to see how easy it is to workphysical activity into their day.

• Pick a meeting location that makes it easy and safe for participants towalk outdoors. If meeting attendeeswill be spending the night, look for places where they can walk todinner, shop, hike, or enjoy other forms of entertainment.Include this information in your pre-meeting materials.

• Select hotels that have an onsite fitness facility. If the facilitycharges a fee, negotiate this cost into the contract arrangedwith the hotel. Include information about the fitness facilityin your pre-meeting materials.

• Provide participants with maps of nearby attractions andwalking trails.

• Provide incentives for being active. Distribute forms for participants to keep track of minutes spent being physicallyactive. Draw prizes for those who are active at least 30 minutes each day the meetings occur.

• Depending on your budget, provide participants with a stepcounter and encourage everyone to get at least 10,000 stepsevery day of the scheduled meetings (see sidebar on page 13).Provide prizes for those who meet this goal.

“Active” Ice BreakerSit Down If...

“Sit Down If…” is an easy and fun way to kickstart your meetingand deliver some important health messages. Begin by asking allparticipants to stand up. As you read each statement one by one,tell them to “sit down if” that statement applies to them.

Sit Down If…

• You did not eat at least five servings of fruits and vegetables yesterday.

• Encourage participants to use the stairs instead of the elevator whenever possible. Place directional signs for themeeting near the stairwells, and place signs at the elevatorspointing the way to the stairs.

• Play up-tempo music and inspire people to move for five to10 minutes before scheduled breaks.

• Offer dancing during dinners or evening receptions.

• Organize outings to local attractions like zoos or museums.
