  • Super helpful!!!

    Thank you for these free guides in helping me with my child’s disordered eating.

  • Daily Menu Plan Checklist-Wonderful Handout.

    This handout was very helpful to use with my clients. Nice work! It is easy to use, very organized, and simple. Thank you!

  • Great overview of food groups!

    Thank you for providing this simple and educational handout. It provides a really nice overview of a variety of foods within the different food groups. I like how it is organized and the check boxes make it easy for clients to understand.

  • Nice work! I like the simplicity and layout of this handout. My only suggestion would be to leave the serving sizes for each food group blank so that a practitioner can suggest more or less of each food group for their clients. I love the check boxes. I agree that soy milk could be included as an alternative for cow’s milk given the similar protein content.

  • Cheat Sheet Review

    Nice product. Easy to read. I would change the almond milk to soy milk and/or lactose free milk. Soy milk is a more complete protein than almond milk. Almond milk often has added sugars to may it taste good. If is also deficient in many key nutrients that tradition milk and soy milk have.

    • Thank you, I welcome your input.
      Originally, I had low fat milk or yogurt listed.
      I had a team of 12 dietitians review the checklist and their consensus was to include a vegan option. There was disagreement on adding soy milk due to research concerning endocrine disruption properties. After much debate, it was concluded that almond milk might be the best option.
      I would welcome a healthy discussion among dietitians concerning this topic.
