Health professionals who have completed a university degree in dietetics and have been accredited by the Dietitians Association of Australia to provide a range of nutrition-related services, including individualised medical nutrition therapy. A food-modelling system that determines how much of each food group should be consumed to meet an individual’s nutrient requirements and only enough energy to meet the needs of the smallest and least active person.

These food selection guides are developed based around groups of foods with similar key nutrient profiles, such as wholegrains.
