Today in class Francie came in to talk about being a registered dietician at wellworks. She also works with counceling people on nutrition as well as working with people with eating disorders. She told us she worked with the basketball team and used food models to help create well-balanced meals for the athletes. The main focus was to increase their fruit and vegetable intake. I think that is a very useful tool especially when trying to design an intervention program. She also mentioned that she gets paid per session with a rate of $30 for the first initial hour, then 15 dollars for every half hour follow up, which is incredibly cheap compared to other people who charge for the same services.
