Description:

In this workshop, participants will learn about the scientific basis of the NIH Body Weight Planner. Its dynamic energy balance calculations provides accurate predictions that differ from the widely-used “3500 Calorie per pound” rule that drastically overestimates weight changes. Participants will engage in guided case studies demonstrating the proper use of the tool and how to correctly interpret the results. Case studies will be targeted to both researchers as well as nutrition counselors. Real time hands-on use of the tool will be available to participants with smartphones, tablets, or laptops connected to the internet. Also, a preview of future tools will be presented.

Seating guaranteed for the first 150 participants.

Bring your Wi-Fi enabled smartphone, tablet, or laptop for hands-on participation!
