Providing Nutrition Counseling Support for Athletes with Disordered Eating
Providing Nutrition Counseling Support for Athletes with Disordered Eating is organized by Dietitian Central.
Expiration Date: May 31, 2024
Description:
Studies have shown a higher incidence of disordered eating (DE) in athletes than in the general population. When one is focused on physical performance, and sometimes on specific appearance, it leads to a more intense focus on nutrition, body type, and body weight. Dietitians who specialize in DE counseling and treatment need to be aware of how to provide nutrition counseling support for DE athletes. It is also crucial for dietitians who specialize in sports nutrition to understand how to approach counseling for athletes with DE. During this one-hour webinar, nutrition concerns for athletes with disordered eating will be discussed. The information presented will be applied to case study scenarios.

Upon successful completion of this one-hour course, the participant should be able to:
• Identify nutritional concerns specific to athletes with disordered eating (DE).
• Understand how to diagnose and treat athletes with DE.
• Understand how to provide nutrition counseling support to athletes struggling with DE.
