The nutrition education component of Be A Fit Kid includes ten, 45-minute lessons for each grade level and focuses on current dietary guidelines that emphasize a diet rich in whole grains, vegetables, fruits, legumes, low-fat dairy foods, and foods high in Omega 3 fats, and low in saturated fat, trans fat, sugar, and refined foods. The grades 1-5 workbooks build on each other and are sequential. Teachers receive a teacher curriculum workbook with disease prevention information included.

In addition to the workbooks provided to teachers, students, and parents, materials purchased from NASCO are used to enhance the delivery of the nutrition education (nutrition bingo; fat, sugar, and salt displays; educational videos, fruit and vegetable stickers and posters).
