Balanced Breakfast Toolkit - 
From Evidence to the Dietetic Practice

🌅 We are excited to invite you to an upcoming webinar on the EFAD Balanced Breakfast Toolkit - From Evidence to the Dietetic Practice. The EFAD Breakfast Toolkit project outcomes and materials will be introduced during the webinar. 

🍏🥐 The EFAD Breakfast Toolkit Project was launched to translate nutrient recommendations for breakfast into practical advice for individuals and health professionals. EFAD leads the project and collaborates with two research teams from Austria and Spain, to develop a toolkit for dietitians to educate patients on how to build a healthy breakfast based on the International Breakfast Research Initiative (IBRI) Europe breakfast recommendations.

The speakers at the webinar will highlight the significance of breakfast, and the need for variety in breakfast choices, and provide recommendations for a balanced breakfast. They will also give an overview of the Breakfast Toolkit project and the Balanced Breakfast Recipe Booklet and explain how dietitians can incorporate them into their dietetic practice.

The webinar provides valuable insights and knowledge to enhance your understanding of a balanced breakfast and introduces science-based practical materials to implement into dietetic practice. 

The latter part of the webinar will highlight an engaging live discussion. 💬🗣️

Reducing childhood obesity is a collective duty

"All sectors, including food, finance and market actors, have a collective duty to ensure that children and young people can grow up in settings that support their health and wellbeing."
