Ulrike Torfeh
Nutritionist

I'm offering nutrition consultation to the students of Holmes Middle School. The focus is teaching a balanced diet with a variety of fruits and vegetables, legumes, whole grains, low-fat dairy products, lean meats, and healthy oils. Calorie needs and serving sizes are explained on the basis of the revised Food Guide Pyramid. Many additional topics are covered like:

• Making Sense of Nutrition Labels
• Guidelines for Altering Eating Behaviors
• Smart Snacking
• Body Image and Self-Esteem
• Physical Activity and Staying Motivated
• Eating Well While Eating Out

In addition, I offer classroom presentation on topics of nutrition and physical activity. I'm available at the Holmes Health Center on Tuesdays or anytime by appointment.
