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 building 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, 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 dieticians 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.
