Therapeutic diets - Qualitative methods
Qualitative methods: This is where you give the individual choices, clear guidelines, menu guidance and supporting information such as advice on suitable manufactured products. You should encourage the patient to understand the key relationship between a food and a diet. The value of a food depends on the amount of nutrient in the food and the frequency with which the food is consumed.
The various qualitative methods include:
Guidelines issued for healthy eating
