If you are an eating disorder provider that works with children and adolescents and would like more Family Based Treatment (FBT) resources to support caregivers that are nutritionally rehabilitating their child, this Complete Meal Planning Guide is for you!

This Meal Planning Guide is designed to give parents the knowledge, skills and tools to help them through the nutritional rehabilitation process. Much of the information is based on the Plate Method.  It provides a simple and straightforward system so that parents have clarity and confidence about what to feed their child. It is not overly complicated so that it doesn’t cause parents additional stress or give their child’s eating disorder an opportunity to manipulate the plan. Knowing their parents have expert guidance and are using a credible system can also serve to reassure the child that they can trust their parents throughout the process as well.  Even if your client is not engaged in FBT or following the Plate Method, this method of meal planning is less rigid so it does not feed into the ED by creating as many opportunities to control and manipulate.  Additionally, many of the handouts are useful for a wide range of individuals. 

The guide includes the following:

  • Meal Guidelines Handout (general instructions on what to provide at meals)
  • Meal Support Handout (for parents)
  • Family Based Meal Planning Handout
