Have you ever wondered:

  • How do I give structure to my client with hypothalamic amenorrhea?
  • What’s the best way to support help my client with nutrition for pregnancy or lactation while in ED recovery?
  • How do I help my clients achieve FULL recovery when they work with me to get their period back or get pregnant?
  • Postpartum is a big risk for disordered eating – how do I help my patients meet their nutrient needs while healing and lactating?

Working with clients on disordered eating recovery during their reproductive health journey is one of the most rewarding experiences, but it can also feel like a lot of pressure. There’s a lot of emotions, and adequate nutrition is of VITAL importance. Folks are highly motivated to fuel their bodies for hormonal health, get pregnant, or to nourish their growing baby, and our role as the dietitian is to guide them to sustainable, long lasting freedom from disordered behaviors. That’s why I created the HA and Pregnancy Eating Disorder Recovery Meal Planning Toolkit. Inspired by the classic “Rule of 3s” eating disorder recovery meal and snack structure, this set of meal plan handouts and food logging templates is set up to help you:

  • Provide flexible structure for optimal nutrition to pregnant clients and those with hypothalamic amenorrhea
  • Promote consistency and adequacy with consuming a wide variety of foods for the renourishment process
  • Encourage joy and pleasure with eating and challenging fear foods right alongside balanced meals and snacks

Included in the toolkit is:

  • 2- Page Period Recovery Meal Plan, Pregnancy Meal Plan, and Lactation Meal Plan (identical, just with different names)
    • Includes daily meal structure and serving sizes/suggestions for each food group
    • Totals to about 2500-2700 kcal/day (~50% from carb, ~20% from protein, ~30% from fat)
  • Food Logging Worksheet in Excel and printable PDF format
    • Includes Meal Plan with food groups, spot for daily planned and actual food intake, rows for daily exercise and thought logging
