As someone who felt discouraged from participating in PE because of teachers forcing activities I didn’t like, ended up hating exercising, and now getting back in shape and trying to find active hobbies so I have a good physical activity level; thank you, please keep it up.
Also, if you’re able to please can you do two lessons on healthy eating with an activity for students to make / use a calorie counter and then the following lesson present the calories and and the macros of what they ate.
I would have really appreciated knowing that earlier on in life so when I left home and had full control over what I ate I would have eaten better and avoided putting on so much weight.

Calm down with the calorie counting, no sane dietician would teach that stuff to kids who aren’t athletes that already need to keep a specific weight, a PE teacher shouldn’t do it either. The benefits of a varied diet and the importance of exercising that’s one thing, weight control means is another.

I understand your point and I think it’s a difficult subject to navigate with teens. Science-based education is important to offset misinformation .
I think it’s tremendously valuable to understand what macros and calories mean, and where they come from in the diet. There’s a global obesity epidemic and there’s significant incentives for people in the health/fitness/weight management industry to muddy the waters with crash, fad, or various unhealthy diets, “cleanses”, and “supplements”. And that’s before we get to the food product industry of Nestle et al.
