Abstract
Nutrition counseling is a common part of the daily practice of family medicine. A review of patients seen in a university family practice center revealed that 50% of the patients should have had some form of nutrition counseling as interpreted by a nutritionist. In a large study of Virginia family practice patients, reported by Marsland et al.,1 patients with seven of the 20 most common problems seen should have had nutrition counseling.
