The curriculum will cover topics including understanding personal eating behaviors, macronutrients and calorie intake, navigating food labeling, healthy cooking techniques, mindful eating, and dietary change planning.Specific session themes include: “Who am I and how do I eat your own eating behavior,” “What is my food from and how much is the right amount for me? – Macronutrients and calories explained,” “Healthy eating what is that? – find your way around in the labeling jungle,” “Cooking and preparing – what is hidden in the kitchen,” “Healthy enjoyment – perceive and meet needs,” and “how do I plan a change in diet.”
