Location: Martha McKittrick Nutrition

Activities & Assignments:

Monday (4 hours)

• Continued working on Eating Out Guide
  • Thoughts: My preceptor wanted to add more information per cuisine (calories).  The list has gotten extensive which is great because we are able to provide more information to the clients which I am hoping will help them with the diet changes they are trying to make.

Tuesday (1 hour)

• Final edits to the Eating Out Guide
  • Put together a list of references for all the calorie amounts.
• Made a list of all the projects I have done for Martha
  • Thoughts: I have enjoyed this rotation immensely.  I have learned a great deal about patient counseling.  This client population has been different than who I have been encountered.
