Book excerpt: EAT to Your Good Health: Exchange Lists and Meal Planning for Eating Disorders offers an excellent resource for the development of healthy eating habits for those challenged by eating disorders.

This guide provides - nutrition education and guidance tailored for the eating disorder population; - sample meal plans ranging from 1200 to 2200 calories per day; - unique food journals that emphasize the nutritional benefits of food while tracking the patient's feelings and behaviors toward food; - exchange lists that do not display calories or include any diet foods; - encouragement to help patients develop a positive relationship with food; - new insights on nutrition education for the eating disorder population; - tools to help registered dietitians educate their patients about the vital importance of food on health.
