Every once in a while I have a client who turns the tables on me. You see, I have all of my clients and class participants keep a food log for the duration of the time I am working with them. I do this for two reasons. One reason is to make them aware of all the mindless eating that happens in a day. The second reason, is so I can shape my clients eating habits in a way that works for them and their lifestyle.

Recently during one of my classes when I was explaining the food logs, one of my clients boldly asked, “What do you eat?”  Great question!

So here is a day in the life of this nutritionist:
