Employee Incentive Program

The Nutrition Incentive Program was designed to educate students and faculty about the importance of taking care of their bodies through healthy eating and exercise.  Weekly points will be awarded for healthy eating, living, and decision making.  These points will be tallied weekly.  At the end of the semester prizes will be awarded to all participants in the program.

 

How to Start

To start the incentive program email or call the Wellness Center.  To earn more points we can weigh you and perform a few brief tests (skin fold and waist-hip ratio) that take less than a half hour. We briefly discuss with you to help you set an adequate calorie intake. Based on your weight and body composition we will help you select an appropriate intake. You will enter your points each week to a website provided when you sign up. You can also email any questions or concerns.

 

Over an 7 week period (May 19th to July 5th) count your points for participating in certain healthful activities. Report your points on the website by Monday the follwing week to have your name entered in a drawing for the grad prize. 

 

If you have any questions, comments, or suggestions e-mail the Wellness Center (wellness@byui.edu) or Amber Sherwood (she06013@byui.edu)
