As I am sure you are aware, this is a difficult and complex task that everyone struggles with. It has driven Betsy to start a healthy meal delivery service and nutrition consulting business, Sunshine Wellness (www.sunshinewellnessinstitute.com), so she can provide her clients with easy to implement and realistic programs and tools for long-term success. As a Registered Dietitian, Holistic Nutritionist, Certified Personal Trainer, and Certified Yoga Instructor, nutrition and exercise have always been a huge part of Betsy's life. Through work and personal experience, she has developed her own successful philosophy and educational tools that are summarized in the Nutrition Simplified workbook and her website, www.SunshineWellnessInstitute.com. Betsy lives happily with her husband and two active children. Her whole family loves the ocean and surfs and swims almost everyday. Betsy also keeps active by practicing and teaching yoga.

  dietary energy intake that will maintain energy balance in a healthy 
  person of a given gender, age, weight, height, and physical activity 
  level. The values listed are based on an “active” person at the refer-
  ence height and weight and at the midpoint ages for each group 
  until age 19. Chap
